The 32nd International Conference on Metallurgy and Materials METAL 2023 took place in Brno on 17-19 May 2023. Almost 180 participants from 21 countries listened to 65 lectures and viewed 86 posters.

The conference was opened by Assoc. Prof. Christian Bernhard, a head of a steel cleanness and casting research group in Department for Metallurgy, Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria. He dedicated his lecture to the topic of Continuous Casting of Steel: Latest achievements and future challenges for research. The second plenary lecture was given by Jožef Medved, professor at the Department for Materials and Metallurgy, Faculty for Natural Science and Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The lecture dealt with the Aluminium – Sustainable Material of Green Transition.

However, the thematic scope of the conference lectures was traditionally much broader. Researchers presented innovations not only in the fields of advanced iron, cast iron, steelmaking, non-ferrous metals and alloys, metal forming and surface engineering, but also in the economics and management of metallurgical production.

The prize for the best poster has been awarded to Alexandr Arbuz from Nazarbayev University in Temirtau (Kazakhstan). In his work, he presented FEM-Simulation of Transverse Defect Closure in Austenitic Stainless Steel by Radial Shear Rolling.

The Czech Association of Scientific and Technical Societies awards the prize for the best poster presentation in the student category to Zuzana Košelová from Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS, Czech Republic, for her poster on Functional Tungsten-Based Thin Films and Their Characterization.

The next 33rd METAL conference will take place on May 22 - 24, 2023.

Abstract: Complex concentrated alloy (CCA) with nominal composition (CoCrFeNi)92.5Al3Ti4.5 (in at.%) was prepared by vacuum induction melting in a ceramic crucible and tilt cast into the cylindrical ceramic mould. The alloying elements such as Al and Ti were added to the basic quaternary CoCrFeNi system to promote the formation of L12 phase in the FCC (face - centered cubic) matrix during heat treatments.

Abstract: In this work, the dynamic material modelling (DMM) is employed to identify the hot working window that is suitable for hot processing of Duplex stainless steel 2205 (DSS). The Gleeble 1500 thermo-mechanical simulator was used to conduct the investigation, where several hot compression tests were conducted at a temperature range of 850 - 1050 °C and strain rates of 0.001s-1 - 5s-1.

Abstract: Weld microstructure depends on the characteristics of welded materials and parameters of welding technology, especially on the heat input that determines the peak temperature and the cooling rate. When the coated sheets are welded, the effect of the chemical composition of the coating must be also considered even though its thickness is only a few tens of microns. [..] Read more

Abstract: Hot-work tool steels are extensively used in industrial applications that require high resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation at elevated temperatures. To meet these requirements, hot-work tool steels must exhibit good mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, hardness, wear resistance, and tempering resistance, as well as high thermal conductivity and ductility.

Abstract: Steel 16Mo3 (P1 according to ASTM) represents still a popular material used in waterwalls, pipelines and other components of steam power plant boilers operating at temperature up to 530 °C. However, the absence of other alloying elements (especially chromium) reduces the long-term structural stability of this steel especially at temperatures higher than 450 °C. [..] Read more
