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 aim of this work is to analyze the phase composition, microstructure, and thermal behavior of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solders with (0.1, 0.4, 1, 4) wt% Ni addition using experimental techniques (scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry) and computational thermodynamics (Thermo-Calc). The results show that the microstructure of all samples consisted of β-Sn dendrites in eutectic matrix (β-Sn + Ag3Sn) and elongated particles of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic phase. [..] Read more

Abstract: High-temperature superconducting tapes made from rare-earth element barium copper oxide have significant potential for use in high-field magnet applications, owing to their outstanding superconducting properties.However, they experience high magnetization losses when subjected to transient or alternating magnetic fields. To tackle this issue, it is crucial to reduce the width of tapes, which can be achieved through the striation of superconducting layer. [..] Read more
