COORDINATOR: RONALDO BARBOSA – UFMG
FORMING / STAMPING
Coordinator: Eduardo Avelar Tonelli – USIMINAS
Scope: Discuss industrial results, academic and fundamental studies, R&D projects, mathematical modeling, process simulation, and physical metallurgy, related to stamping of metals and its alloys. These include industry and laboratory processes and product development aspects related to steel and non-metallic alloys stamping.
FORMING / FORGING
Coordinator: Celso A. Barbosa - VILLARES METALS
Scope: Forming by forging, whether in closed or open die, hot or cold, has received a special attention in the past years, due to its importance to industries like automobile and aerospace. Materials, tool projects and equipment have undergone high technological revolution in the past years. Papers shall preferably address these innovations, either in technological or research areas. Particularly papers on physical and numerical simulation of hot and cold forming processes are especially welcome. We will value papers aiming at power reduction, cost decrease and improvement in the mechanical properties of forged products. Papers on forging productive chain link are also encouraged, such as inputs, raw materials and aid manufacturing technologies.
FORMING / DRAWING
Coordinator: Francisco José Martins Boratto - BELGO-ARCELOR BRASIL
Scope: Papers on drawing shall approach several aspects related to the theme, ranging from raw material (barns and machine-thread), raw material surface preparation (chemical and mechanical scouring and surface preparation), the process itself (equipment, operation problems, new developments), lubrication (soaps and emulsions), product properties (physical and shape properties), final usage of drawn materials.
WASTE RECOVERY, TREATMENT AND RECYCLING
Coordinator: Maristela Gomes da Silva – UFES
Scope: To support the sustainable growth of the steel making sector in Brazil, it is paramount to join efforts from industrial, technology and academic sector regarding the environmental consequences of such growth. Among the issues the steel making sector currently faces, the importance of the implementation of a waste management model should be highlighted. Such model should consider and be closely related to recovery, treatment and recycling requirements, so that the unavoidable production waste be converted into co-products with added social and economic value. This seminar's goal is therefore bring forward this discussion, proposals and methodologies to potentially contribute to these achievements and pave the road towards a sustainable steel-making sector.
WELDING
Coordinator: Valter Rocha dos Santos - PUC-RJ
Scope: Nowadays, welding is one of the most important areas for metallic structures and components manufacturing. Several thermal, physical, chemical, and specially metallurgic phenomena are related to welding and determine the properties of welded joints. Due to the impacts of such complex interactions, innovative welding processes, welding metallurgy concepts and welding physics concepts have been arising or have been increasingly adopted as a reference for metallic components manufacturing, in which new materials are required. In this sense, a great deal of works have been developed concerning welding of new materials, which involve a precise control of their microstructure, such as alloys with ultra-high yielding strength. New welding processes are being researched and developed. Their application by means of mechanical and automated systems, as well as robots, has caused welding to get increasingly indispensable.
THERMAL TREATMENT AND SURFACE ENGINEERING
Coordinator: Eliana Bezerra M. Netto - BRASIMET
Scope: Thermal treatment and surface engineering processes provide specific improvement to material properties in a wide range of applications. Both knowledge fields are comprehensive and involve a series of theoretical concepts and practices, which range from material selection to monitoring and control processes. The new processes, metallic alloys, process simulation, definition of treated and lined materials; the new technologies applied to furnaces, atmospheres, and quenching media; as well as PVD and CVD lining equipment are part of the scope of this section. Due to the great interest from industry and academic area, this subject area has an expressive participation of researchers, students and professionals from metallic material components, tooling, production and application industries.
