Physical Metallurgy
Materials at Extremes
July 28 - August 2, 2013
University of New England
Biddeford, ME
Chairs:
Michael J. Mills & Easo George

Vice Chairs:
Anthony D. Rollett & Roger C. Reed
Application Deadline
Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 30, 2013. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

Technological development is paced by creating and putting into service materials that are ever-more capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as high stress, temperature, radiation and long-term service. This Gordon Research Conference on Physical Metallurgy is devoted to presentation of cutting-edge experimental and modeling research about materials at extreme conditions, such as ultra-high strength materials relative to their ideal strength and materials at high temperatures relative to their melting points. Understanding the effects of extremes in physical size-scale and microstructure is also critical in order to advance the performance of materials under demanding conditions. Presentations will concern developments in state-of-the-art experimental techniques for evaluating material behavior and microstructure, and complementary computational and modeling efforts aimed at fundamental understanding of materials under these extreme conditions.
