International Symposium on Transformation and Deformation Mechanisms in Advanced High-strength Steels



Chairmen: M. Militzer, W. Poole and E. Essadiqi

Advanced high-strength steels are increasingly being utilized to improve the quality of products for transportation, construction and packagng sectors. The novel properties of these steels, e.g. dual phase and TRIP steels, draw on complex transformation behaviour and associated deformation mechanisms. In this symposium, the focus will be on the fundamentals of phase transformation and mechanical behaviour. In addition, the application of these fundamental concepts to production and utilization of these steels will be considered.


Papers are invited related to the following topics:

  • Fundamental physics of phase transformation and deformation behaviour
  • Modelling of phase transformation kinetics
  • Mechanisms of phase transformation during deformation
  • Processing of advanced high-strength steels
  • Novel aspects of formability
  • Microstructural evolution during welding
