Deputy Head of the Zhilyaev Laboratory of Mechanics of Gradient Nanomaterials Alexander Moiseevich Pesin took part in the 14th International Conference on Superplasticity of Modern Materials ICSAM 2023, held in July in Barcelona.
ICSAM was established as a platform for academic researchers and industrial engineers in the field of superplasticity.
The first ICSAM was held in San Diego in 1982. Since then, thirteen conferences were held in every three years in Grenoble (1985), Blaine (1988), Osaka (1991), Moscow (1994), Bangalore (1997), Orlando (2000), Oxford (2003), Chengdu (2006), Seattle (2009), Albi (2012), Tokyo (2015) and Saint Petersburg (2018), attaching many researchers from all over the world. ICSAM2023 is the 14th international conference series on Superplasticity series, wihich is built upon the proven concept and continues the tradition of its predecessors. This year the conference was dedicated to the memory of A.P. Zhilyaev. The conference was attended by experts from France, Japan, USA, Spain, Russia, Brazil, Turkey, Great Britain, China, Poland, Belgium, Sweden and South Korea.
ICSAM2023 will provide a platform for presential discussion on the production of materials with submicrometer and nanoscale grains, including all aspects of their mechanical behavior, not only the superplasticity of materials. The overall aim of ICSAM2023 is to maintain and consolidate the existing knowledge of superplasticity mechanical properties of materials and identify future work necesary to the current development in the research of advanced materials with fine and ultra-fine grained structure, their superplastic and other properties, and eventual commercial application.
In practice, the topics of the conference are not only paying attention to the demostration of superplastic phenomenon and the implementation of superplastic forming techniques into commercial use, but also these include the examinations of various different aspects of materials exhibiting superplastic phenomenon and creep properties at a range of temperatures, and the novel instrumentation for examining such properties. You can see the list of the covered topics at https://www.icsam2023.net/topics/. Within the framework of the conference, Alexander Moiseevich Pesin presented 4 reports.
"Zhilyaev Laboratory of Mechanics of Gradient Nanomaterials", represented by Alexander Moiseevich Pesin, expresses gratitude to the organizers of the conference - the Metallic Materials Processing group (PROCOMAME) in the Besós-EEBE campus at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. All participants have obtained fruitful results through their presentation, discussion and information exchange, and enjoyed a social program as well as sightseeing tours before and after the conference.
