Alloys for critical applications

Abstract

The 18^th Annual Conference of the Sheffield Metallurgical and Engineering Association was held on the 7^th and 8^th July 2009 at the Endcliffe Conference Centre, University of Sheffield and attracted 98 delegates. The aim of the conference was to explore recent developments in the manufacture, evaluation and application of alloy steels, nickel-based superalloys and light metal components for critical engineering applications. Five technical sessions focused on nuclear energy, aerospace, energy supply chain and transport applications, and then considered some advanced technologies.
