WORKSHOP

Stainless steels have emerged as one of the very important engineering materials, designed for strength, corrosion resistance. and easy fabrication. Continued growth in the use of stainless steels necessitates a deeper understanding of different grades, production methods, selection for particular use, fabrication methods, quality assurance, microstructure, mechanical properties and service performance. Several developments are taking place in the science and technology of stainless steels across the globe towards expanding their usage in variety of applications. To enrich ourselves with the recent developments in the field of stainless steels. ASM International Chennai Chapter is organising a two days workshop. Experts drawn from Premier Research Laboratories, Educational Institutes and Industries across the country will be delivering lectures on various topics related to stainless steels. This workshop provides an opportunity for all the people connected with stainless steels to understand and enrich their knowledge for efficient usage of stainless steels in service.

SCOPE

The workshop is carefully designed to suit the needs of the shop-floor personnel, engineers, metallurgists and designers working in industries as well as scientists involved in basic research. The workshop broadly covers the following areas of specialisation.

All the participants will receive a copy of the lecture notes before the commencement of the workshop to stimulate discussions during the course of workshop.
