The ICASP series is a preeminent forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances and future directions in solidification science. The conference proceedings will be published as a special issue of “IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering” and will be available online via open access.
Topics: Nucleation and grain refinement, Interfaces, Microstructure formation during solidification and remelting, Dendritic growth and dendrite fragmentation, Eutectic, peritectic, monotectic growth, Rapid solidification, Melting, Stress and deformation, hot tearing, shrinkage, and porosity defects, Multiphase flow and heat & mass transfer, mushy zone, rheology, macrosegregation, Thermophysical properties, thermodynamics of solidification and melting, Additive manufacturing and welding, Casting processes: ingot casting, shape casting, continuous/semi-continuous casting (steel and nonferrous alloys), remelting processes (ESR, VAR, ...), etc., Multiscale modeling methods and through-process modeling, Experimental and characterization methods
