2015 Physical Metallurgy Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
Summary/Abstract for the 2015 Physical Metallurgy Gordon Research Conference As this program was being put together, several major developments affecting Physical Metallurgy were unfolding, all of which are moving the frontiers of the subject. Accordingly, it is appropriate for this next meeting to consider these frontiers and evaluate where the discipline is going. The Materials Genome Initiative is steadily unfolding so this prompts a discussion of how Physical Metallurgy should take advantage of the new techniques and contribute to the development of the Genome. Three-dimensional imaging is transitioning from technique development to application to various important problems such as fatigue in metals, particle coarsening, sintering, twinning, crystal plasticity. Mesoscale science has been established as an important frontier of understanding and has particular relevance to physical metallurgy in which so many properties must be addressed empirically such as corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance etc. Additive Manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing of metals) is becoming an important new processing method across a very large span of applications. For defense-related applications, it is particularly relevant in terms of a) the design flexibility that it allows and b) the ability to make replacement components with minimal equipment. AM raises significant issues, however, in terms of the alloys and powders used, as well as the potential defect content.
