About the Symposium
The primary purpose of this inter-disciplinary symposium is to
bring together state-of-the-art developments on all aspects related to the processing and fabrication of advanced materials
spanning the entire spectrum of metallics, intermetallics, ceramics, ceramic-matrix composites, metal-matrix composites, inter
metallic-matrix composites, advanced polymers and polymer-
matrix composites, including surface modifications and high-temperature
coatings. The symposium will also cover the recent developing
areas of new manufacturing techniques of materials. This symposium
will certainly provide an attractive forum for presenting the latest
advances on aspects related and relevant to materials processing and fabrication advances by researchers and engineers from industry,
research laboratories and academia.
