Symposium: 11‐6 Phase Transformations in Materials Processing and Their Effects on Mechanical Properties

Solidification and solid‐state phase transformations in materials occur in different materials processing, such as in casting, welding, and laser additive manufacturing, and understanding, controlling and utilizing phase transformations can guide developing new processing avenues to tailor microstructures and properties of materials. Today we have the opportunity to explore the diverse phenomena displayed by materials with specialized theoretical, computational, and experimental tools. Advances in multiscale characterization techniques and computational simulations provide new perspectives into microstructural relationships at the nano and micro scales, enabling a fundamental understanding of the effect of phase transformations on mechanical and other properties of materials during different processing.

This symposium solicits theoretical, computational, and/or experimental works in the following areas:

• Solid‐liquid interface properties and solidification/crystallization phenomena and their effects on microstructures and properties of materials.
• Diffusional phase transformations, such as second phase precipitation or dissolution, and their effects on mechanical and other properties of materials.
• Martensitic phase transformations in ferrous, non‐ferrous, shape memory, and superelastic materials, and their effects on mechanical and other properties.

Interested authors should submit a (maximum) 400‐word abstract via the web tool at the Congress 2017 website by March 7. https://www.asme.org/events/imece
