Austenite Formation and Decomposition Symposium, Materials Science & Technology 2003 Conference; Chicago, IL; November 10-12, 2003

矿物、金属和材料学会(TMS)和钢铁学会(ISS)联合主办了这次计划中的研讨会和MS&Amp；T2003大会。该专题讨论会的目标包括：(A)传播在理解奥氏体的形成和分解方面的最新进展；(B)传播这些进展的实际应用；(C)教育专题讨论会的与会者、专业人员、青年研究人员和学生；(D)出版同行评议论文集，该卷将捐赠给世界各地许多授予冶金工程或材料科学和工程学位的教育机构图书馆。向教育机构传播这一会议记录具有特别重要的意义，因为自上一次以奥氏体分解为主题的大型技术研讨会以来，已经有很长一段时间了，自那以来取得了许多进展。计划举行的研讨会包括来自不同国家(日本、欧洲、亚洲)的专家，共收到44篇接受的论文。由此产生的同行评议会议是一项重要活动，通过它可以收集对这些进展的描述，并将其传播给目前和未来的专家、教育工作者、青年研究人员和该领域的学生。NSF基金支持将研讨会论文集作为装订卷与CD-ROM一起出版。将其作为信息或参考资料分发到世界各地的大学，将使教育工作者、青年研究人员和学生能够了解奥氏体的应用和形成。

The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) and the Iron and Steel Society (ISS) jointly sponsor this planned symposium and the MS&T 2003 conference. Objectives of this symposium include: (a) disseminate the most recent advances in understanding austenite formation and decomposition; (b) disseminate practical applications of these advances; (c) educate symposium attendees, professionals, young researchers and students; (d) publish a peer reviewed proceedings volume that will be donated world wide to many libraries of educational institutions granting degrees in the fields of metallurgical engineering or materials science and engineering. The dissemination of this proceedings to educational institutions is of particular importance because it has been a long time since the last major technical symposium focused on austenite decomposition, and a great many advances have occurred since then.The planned symposium includes experts from various countries (Japan, Europe, Asia) with 44 accepted papers. The resulting peer-reviewed proceedings are an important event by which descriptions of these advances can be collected and disseminated to current and future specialists, educators, young researchers and students in the field. The NSF funds support publication of the symposium proceedings as bound volume along with a CD-ROM. Distributing it worldwide as an information or reference source to universities will enable an understanding of austenite applications and formation by educators, young researchers, and students.
