Fifth International Workshop on Ordered Intermetallics and Advanced Metallic Materials; Chendu, P. R. China; October 5-8, 2003

这笔赠款支持一个国际研讨会，该研讨会计划为各国的材料科学家和工程师提供一个论坛，深入讨论有序金属间合金和先进金属材料的结构使用方面的最新进展和关键问题。讲习班的目的是为各国专家提供一个论坛，讨论(1)控制有序金属间化合物在常温和高温下变形和断裂的基本变量，(2)结构用延性金属间化合物合金的设计，(3)通过复合材料方法进一步提高低温韧性和高温强度，以及(4)用传统和创新方法加工金属间化合物合金和复合材料。此外，先进金属材料新兴领域的专家，如纳米相和纳米结构材料，将被邀请进行演讲。这次国际研讨会由北京科技大学先进金属与材料国家重点实验室的陈国良教授、北京航空材料研究所的韩亚芳教授、橡树岭国家实验室的刘春亭博士和康奈尔大学的斯蒂芬·L·萨斯教授共同举办。它将于2003年10月5日至8日在中国成都举行。参加本次研讨会仅限受邀参加。预计将有20-25名来自中国的外部科学家和25-30名来自中国的科学家。研讨会的资金来源来自中国国家先进材料委员会、中国国家科学基金会和美国能源部，而美国国家科学基金会的资金被要求支持博士学位5年内的年轻科学家。

The grant supports an international workshop planned to provide a forum for materials scientists and engineers from various countries to participate in an in-depth discussion of recent advances and critical issues for the structural use of ordered intermetallic alloys and advanced metallic materials. The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for experts from various countries to discuss (1) fundamental variables controlling deformation and fracture of ordered intermetallics at ambient and elevated temperatures, (2) the design of ductile intermetallic alloys for structural uses, (3) further improvements in low-temperature toughness and high-temperature strength by a composite approach, and (4) the processing of intermetallic alloys and composites by both conventional and innovative methods. In addition, experts in emerging areas of advanced metallic materials, such as nanophase and nanostructured materials, are invited to give talks. The Proceedings of the workshop will be published in Intermetallics.This international workshop is co-organized by Prof. Guoliang Chen from the State Key Laboratory for Advanced Metals and Materials, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Prof. Yafang Han from Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials, Dr. C. T. Liu from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Prof. Stephen L. Sass from Cornell University. It will be held in Chendu, P.R.China from October 5 - 8, 2003. Participation in this workshop will be by invitation only. It is expected to have 20 - 25 scientists from outside China and 25 - 30 scientists from China. Sources for funding of the workshop are from the National Advanced Material Committee of China, Chinese NSF, and DOE while the NSF funds are requested to support young scientists who are within 5 years of their doctoral degree.
