The Influence of Rolling and Forging on Product Quality and Properties

17 Jun 2008 - 18 Jun 2008, The Edge, Sheffield, UK

Organised by Sheffield Metallurgical and Engineering Association
Co-sponsored by IOM3 - The Iron and Steel Society.

 

The aim of the conference is to explore the effect of hot rolling and forging processes on the quality and performance of a range of steels and high duty alloys. Five technical sessions will explore process developments and their influence on product quality, how the hot working process can be optimised to influence microstructure and properties, and new technologies.

On the evening of Tuesday 17th June, the SMEA Celebrity Lecture ‘The Tatas – Aspiration and Innovation’ will be given by Dr Tridibesh Mukherjee, Group Director, Technology and Integration, Tata Steel – Corus. This will be followed by a buffet supper.
