MCWASP XV 2020: Modelling of Casting, Welding and Advanced Solidification Processes Djurönäset Stockholm, Sweden, June 21-26, 2020

MCWASP brings together leading academics, researchers and engineers from all over the world for a week filled with state-of-the-art science, personal meeting and unforgettable experiences.

MCWASP is a scientific conference dedicated to modelling and observations of solidification and related phenomena coupled to casting and welding processes. Since the first conference 1980 it has been the preeminent meeting for gathering leading academics, researchers, engineers and software developers from all over the world to meet and form a scientific community with plenty of time for personal contacts, exciting discussions and sharing of recent scientific findings.

The conference organizers invite academics, researchers, PhD-students, engineers and software developers within the relevant fields to submit scientific contributions to the conference, and to join us in Stockholm in June 2020.

Abstract submission is closed.

We now invite accepted contributions to submit full papers.

Deadline for submission of full papers is 15 December 2019.

Visit the conference webpage for further additional information regarding instructions for full papers and important dates.

List of Topics

• Solidification processing of metallic alloys (steel, cast iron, Al-, Cu- and other nonferrous alloys), non-metallic materials and composites.
• Shape casting (sand casting, HPD casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, lost foam, ...), continuous casting.
• Welding, soldering.
• Processing/structure/property relations.
• Through-process modelling.
• Numerical techniques for solidification modeling (FEM, FVM, DEM, LB, …)
• Nucleation, grain refinement and inoculation techniques.
• Microstructure evolution, columnar-to-equiaxed transition and globular-to-dendritic transition.
• Formation of eutectics, peritectics and intermetallics. Modification.
• In-situ observations of solidification phenomena and comparison with predictions.
• Micro- and macrosegregation.
• High temperature/mushy zone properties. Rheology.
• Thermodynamics of solidification.
• Stress and deformation, hot tearing, macro-shrinkage and porosity.
• Novel process techniques, e.g. Additive Manufacturing.
• Treatment after casting (e.g. heat treatment, machining, shot peening).
• Mold and core materials (e.g. thermal conductivity, specific heat, density, mechanical properties).
