Sir Henry Bessemer Lecture and Dinner

07 Oct 2010, The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London, UK

Sir Henry Bessemer Lecture 2010 - From Trial and Error to Computer Modelling

We are pleased to announce that the 2010 Bessemer Lecture will be given by Mike Sellars, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Engineering Materials, The University of Sheffield, on Thursday 7th October at the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, 1 Carlton House Terrace, London.

Abstract

Since the 1950s, processing in the iron and steel industry has progressed from being skills based, using results from trial and error development work, to being science based, using computer modelling for process optimisation and control. Some of the steps in this evolution are illustrated in the lecture, using thermomechanical processing, particularly hot rolling, as an example, because The University of Sheffield has been involved in research in this field over the whole of the period. As basic understanding of the physics of the microstructural changes and the speed of computing have increased, there is a continuing trend for more complex models to be used for off-line optimisation and for on-line control.

The Lecture will be immediately followed by the Sir Henry Bessemer Dinner.

The 2010 Iron and Steel Society Awards will also be presented at the event.

Tickets for the Lecture and Dinner are available at £75 + VAT. Price of the ticket includes pre-dinner drinks, dinner and table wine. Dress code is lounge suit.
