THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT

WMM’16 7th International Conference Magnetism and Metallurgy

UK magnetics society Associazione Italiana Metallurgia Coiltech 2016

2

Scope of the Conference The series of International Conferences, Magnetism and Metallurgy was established in 2004 by the Institute of Metal Forming at the Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. The conferences 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 took place in Freiberg and Ghent respectively and were organized in cooperation of the Institute of Metal Forming in Freiberg with the Department of Material Science and Engineering at Ghent University. The conference 2014 was organized by the Cardiff School of Engineering. The 7th International Conference Magnetism and Metallurgy WMM’16 will take place in Rome and organized by the CSM. The WMM16 will be co-sponsored by “Associazione Italiana Metallurgia” and “UK Magnetic Society”.

The aim of this series of International Conferences on Magnetism and Metallurgy is to bring together scientists from universities and research groups working on the development of magnetic materials, as well as electrical engineers from universities and industry, who are engaged in applications of magnetic materials.

The WMM`16 will provide a general overview of status, trends and recent developments in the field of “Magnetism and Magnetic Materials and their Application”. The 7th International Conference Magnetism and Metallurgy will, like the previous conferences, treat all aspects: techniques for producing the materials, technological aspects, development of microstructure and relation to the properties, modelling the evolution of microstructure and properties, measurements of the characteristic properties, developments in the field of application of magnetic materials, aspects of design. Invited papers will be presented by international experts on magnetism and magnetic materials to cover the proposed topics of the 7th International Conference WMM16. In addition a restricted number of exhibits and poster presentations will be included in the program.

We expect the same kind of audience as at the previous conferences. More than 120 participants from 27 countries were present at the 6th International Conference WMM14, in Cardiff. In addition to delegates from the academic world and from research institutions, participants from producers of magnetic materials attended the meeting.

Relevant steel companies were present including Wälzholz, Cogent, ThyssenKrupp Electrical Steel GmbH, US-Steel, ArcelorMittal, Tempel Steel, JFE, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo, Voestalpine, Magnequench, China Steel Corporation, AK Steel, Auerhammer, Cube Steel, Aperam, Daido and Tata Steel.

At the WMM14 conference, contributions from 27 invited speakers from 19 countries as well as the 24 posters were presented.

The organizers of the WMM16 hope that the 7th International Conference WMM’16 in Rome 2016 will cover like the previous conferences the latest developments and demonstrate the progress in the field of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials and their Application.

Topics of the WMM’16 Advances in process techniques: metallurgical routes, especially the use of thin strip casting Progresses in electrical steel grades and other soft magnetic materials as well as hard

magnetic materials Thin non-oriented electrical steel grades Tendencies at the fabrication of grain oriented electrical steels Alternative soft magnetic materials Electrical steels for energy efficient industrial motors and variable speed drives Concepts for electrical machines for cars and trucks New application areas Improved material characterization and progress on modelling the effects of magnetic

materials in electrical machines Progress in modeling the evolution of microstructure and texture along the metallurgical

processing route

Social Events for all delegates Welcome cocktail at Centro Sviluppo Materiali and visit to CSM Labs and Pilot Plants. Social dinner at the Restaurant l’Archeologia (www.larcheologia.it) Guided Visit to Roman Sites: Departure by private bus with English speaking local guide for a gorgeous panoramic visit of the most emblematic sights, monuments and streets of the Eternal City. Starting from the larges boulevards of the EUR district, in a few minutes we reach the historical centre, just crossing the Aurelian Walls, a line of city walls built between 271 AD and 275 AD during the reign of the Roman Emperor Aurelian, that enclosed all the famous seven hills of Rome. Passing through the elegant streets of downtown, we can admire the Basilica of St. John in Lateran, the cathedral of Rome and the world, with its impressive façade topped by a large number of statues of saints, and arrive in the hearth of the city to start a stunning walking tour between monuments and ruins of Imperial Rome. Admiring the Coliseum, the largest amphitheatre, symbol of the Eternal

City, built during the Empire of Vespasian in 72 AD, we proceed by foot along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, enjoying the splendor of the ancient Roman Empire with a wonderful panoramic view of the Roman Forum and the complex of the Markets of Trajan. The walking continue towards the Piazza Venezia with its superb Monument to Vittorio Emanuele, the monumental staircases of Aracoeli and Capitol and finalizing at the Marcello Theatre. Continuing by private bus along the Tiber River, admiring the monumental bridges and the characteristic Tiberina Island, we arrive in the zone of Christian Rome, with the superb mole of Castel St.Angelo, the impressive St.Peter Square with the baroque Bernini Colonnade, the gourgeus façade and

the great “cupola” of St.Peter Basilica. Returning towards the imperial zone we pass along the Circus Maximus, the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome could accommodate about 150,000 spectators, and the imposing ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, and along the ancient walls of latinos aqueducts vestigias, we arrive at the Via Appia Antica, the "regina iarum", mother of all Roman roads, perfectly preserved as to the times of the Empire.
