13th International Conference on Aluminum Alloys (ICAA-13); to be held June 3-7, 2012 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

铝及其合金仍然是当今最重要的使用材料之一。铝被用于各种系统，以提高运输、电力传输、电子封装、建筑和建筑等应用的效率和材料节约。第13届国际铝合金会议（ICAA-13）将于2012年6月3日至7日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的卡耐基梅隆大学（CMU）举行。本次会议是由ICAA国际委员会主办的关于铝及其合金的专业会议。技术计划由十个会议组成，涵盖了广泛的主题，描述了在计算建模，处理技术，回收技术以及具有有前途的特性和经济可行性组合的新材料的生产方面的科学突破。ICAA-13将汇集来自工业，国家和大学社区的研究人员，实验和理论，讨论最新的科学和技术发展，以及铝的未来。来自世界各地的研究人员已经收到了420多篇摘要，这些研究人员代表了北美和南美、亚洲、欧洲和澳大利亚大陆的许多国家。本次会议将涵盖铝材料科学中最关键和最强劲增长的主题领域。这笔资金用于学生和博士后研究人员的国内旅行和注册，以及几名年轻教师的注册。由三个NSF项目提供支持：金属和金属纳米结构，材料和表面工程以及凝聚态物质和材料理论。

Aluminum and its alloys continue to be among the most important materials in use today. Aluminum in involved in various systems to enhance efficiency and material conservation in applications as diverse as transportation, electrical power transmission, electronic packaging, building and construction. NSF funds are requested for partial support of the 13th International Conference on Aluminum Alloys (ICAA-13), to be held June 3 to 7, 2012, at Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh, PA. This conference is a specialty conference on Aluminum and its alloys, which is organized by the ICAA International Committee. The technical program consists of ten sessions covering a wide range of topics, which describe scientific breakthroughs in computational modeling, processing techniques, recycling technologies, and the production of novel materials with promising combinations of properties and economic viability. ICAA-13 will bring together researchers from the industrial, national, and university communities, both experimental and theoretical, to discuss the latest scientific and technological developments, as well as the future of aluminum. More than 420 abstracts have been received from researchers worldwide, representing a number of countries across the continents of North and South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. This conference will cover the most critical and strongly growing subject areas in aluminum materials science. The funding is requested to provide domestic travel and registration for students and postdoctoral researchers, and registrations for several young faculty members. Support is provided by three NSF Programs: Metals and Metallic Nanostructures, Materials and Surface Engineering and Condensed Matter and Materials Theory.
