U.S.-Japan Seminar: Solidification Processing for the 21st Century/July 1994/Lenox, MA

该奖项支持7名美国科学家和工程师参加定于1994年7月在马萨诸塞州莱诺克斯举行的21世纪美日凝固工艺研讨会。研讨会由美国麻省理工学院材料科学与工程系Merton Flemings教授和大阪大学材料科学与加工系Itsuo Ohnaka教授共同主办。这是自1977年以来每5年举行一次的美日研讨会的第4次。研讨会的讨论范围将从凝固的基本原理到工业实践。基础将包括热流，质量流，界面动力学，成核和生长，形态发展，以及结构-性质关系的基础。这部分与先进材料有关，包括超导氧化物、纤维增强金属和金属间化合物。工艺设计和创新，以及工艺规模的环保，有竞争力的制造将是一个中心话题。将讨论包括带钢铸造、电磁铸造、反重力铸造和喷射成形在内的最新和发展中的工艺。这次会议是自1977年以来大约每五年举行一次的美日在这一领域的系列会议中的第四次会议。由于美国和日本最近都取得了强有力的进展，因此在这一领域举行另一次研讨会是及时的，这对国家竞争力至关重要。＊＊＊

9315331 Flemings This awards supports the participation of seven U.S. scientists and engineers in a U.s.-Japan Seminar on Solidification Processing for the 21st Century, scheduled for July 1994 in Lenox, MA. The seminar is co-organized by Professor Merton Flemings, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Itsuo Ohnaka, Department of Materials Science and Processing, Osaka University. This is the fourth in a series of U.S.-Japan seminars that have been held approximately every five years since 1977. Discussions at the seminar will range from solidification fundamentals to industrial practice. Fundamentals will include heat flow, mass flow, interface kinetics, nucleation and growth, morphological development, and fundamentals of structure-property relations. These relate in part to advanced materials including superconducting oxides, fiber reinforced metals, and intermetallic compounds. Process design and innovations, and process scale-up for environmentally sound, competitive manufacturing will be a central topic. Recent and developing processes including strip casting, electro-magnetic casting, counter-gravity casting, and spray forming will be discussed. This meeting is the fourth in a series of U.S.- Japan meetings in this field that have been held approximately every five years since 1977. Because of recent strong advances in both the United States and Japan, it is timely to hold another seminar in this field, which is of critical importance to national competitiveness. ***
