PROCESS SOLUTIONS RECOVERY & RECYCLE INFORMATION EXCHANGE The National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT), operated by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) for the Navy Manufacturing Technology (MANTECH) Program, will conduct a workshop entitled, "Metalforming -- Experiment, Analysis, and Application," on June 11-13, 1997, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. This workshop, intended for managers, engineers and technicians who are not necessarily metalforming specialists, will focus on state-of-the-art methods of metalforming process optimization. Forging, rolling, extrusion, and sheetforming processes will be covered, with a materials focus on conventional steel and aluminum alloys, as well as superalloys and intermetallics. Also included will be a review of the basics of mechanics and metallurgy of plastic deformation and failure. Laboratory demonstrations and examples of the application of advanced modeling techniques to solve industrial metalworking problems will be presented. Workshop attendees will acquire improved capabilities in metalforming problem solving and troubleshooting, as well as in deformation process simulation design. Attendees will also be provided with an understanding of physical and numerical process modeling, as well as materials modeling. Participants are encouraged to bring sample parts and problems for examination, discussion, and solution. Registration must be completed by May 23, 1997. For more information, contact Ms. Tricia Wright, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, 1450 Scalp Avenue, Johnstown, PA 15904, (814) 269-2567, or visit our Upcoming Events Page at http://www.ncemt.ctc.com/ and register at the NCEMT Website.
