Abstracts are now being accepted for the Liquid Metal Processing & Casting Conference 2013 (LMPC 2013). Both academic and industrial papers are sought in areas such as advances in controls and process simulation, ingot defect formation and characterization studies, and process parameter-material properties characterization.

The program will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Primary and secondary melt processing, including VIM, VAR, ESR, EBCHR, plasma melting
Physical property measurements of liquid metals
Casting and solidification of liquid metals
Modeling of metallurgical processes including heat/mass flow modeling of liquid metal and solidification
Ceramic, slag and refractory reactions with liquid metals
Refining, evaporation and gas/metal reactions
Fundamentals of reactions involving liquid metals in productions processes
