31st Risø International Symposium on Materials Science: Challenges in materials science and possibilities in 3D and 4D characterization techniques

Theme

Challenges in materials science and possibilities in 3D and 4D characterization techniques

The present day sees a global effort to develop new and advanced materials.As an integral part of this endeavor a range of new characterization techniques are becoming available, which have led to significant breakthroughs in materials science and engineering. Within this broad
scientific field this Risø symposium will focus on metallic materials and on 3D and 4D characterization
techniques using x-rays, neutrons and electrons. These techniques now allow characterization on a finer and finer scale and open up the analysis of dynamic behavior by real time in-situ investigations. This means that techniques are now available by which key challenges in materials science can be addressed. Such problems are for example evolution in structure and properties under:

  • mechanical loading
  • thermal annealing
  • phase transformations
  • fracture/damage

The symposium will be composed of 12-15 invited lectures plus contributed papers. For all contributions to the Symposium, it is emphasized that materials science must be an integral part of technique papers and vice versa. There will be no parallel sessions. The symposium will take place at Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Roskilde in the week of September 6th to 10th 2010.
