The 33rd International Conference on Metallurgy and Materials METAL 2024 was held in Brno on 22-24 May 2024. 82 lectures and 71 posters were prepared for almost 180 participants from 28 countries.

The conference was opened by Professor Peter Jurči from Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Materials and Technology in Trnava with a lecture High-alloyed Ledeburitic Cold Work Tool Steels.

The second plenary lecture was delivered online by Professor Pavel Novák from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. He devoted his lecture to the history, present and future of the use of intermetallic materials.

However, the thematic scope of the conference lectures was traditionally much broader. Researchers presented innovations not only in the fields of production of iron, steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and alloys, metal forming and surface engineering, but also in the economics and management of metallurgical production.

The prize for the best poster went to Timon SCHILD from the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (Luxembourg).

The next 34th METAL conference will take place again in May 2025.

Abstract: <div>The material in nuclear reactors of the VVER 440 type and their main circulation pipes is exposed to temperatures in the range of 100-300 °C during the operating conditions, but in some nodes can be this range of temperatures exceeded. These temperature conditions are suitable for low-temperature sensitization and the microstructure sensitized in this way may be susceptible to inter-granular corrosion during long-term operation.
