AIST Adolf Martens Memorial Steel Lecture
Date: Monday, November 2
Time: 11:00 a.m. to Noon EST
Presenter: Nina Fonstein, Scientific Advisor, ArcelorMittal, USA
Presentation Title: "Effects of Retained Austenite Stability and Microstructure Refinement on Properties of Advanced High Strength Sheet Steels"
About the Presentation
Evolution of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) to meet automotive challenges resulted not only in development of new types of steels including the so-called 3rd generation (medium Mn steels, carbide-free bainitic steels, Q&P steels), but also in significant changes of “traditional” steels as DP, TRIP and Complex Phase steels aiming to increase their combination of strength and ductility. Based on both literature and our own experimental data, this presentation considers various aspects of potential effects of retained austenite stability, which is different in different steels. Different parameters of retained austenite stability are compared. The key role of structure refinement in achievement of higher ductility is shown for different types of steels, and analysis of ways to obtain structure refinement is presented.

She led investigations, development, and commercialization of various grades of AHSS as manager for more than 10 years. Before joining ArcelorMittal, she worked at the I.P. Bardin Central Research Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy in Moscow, Russia, as senior research associate, and later as a head of the laboratory of formable steels, working on dual-phase steels and TRIP-steels. She holds a Dr. Science degree in physical metallurgy from the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys and a Ph.D. in solid state physics from I.P. Bardin Central Research Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy. She is also professor at the Supreme Attestation Commission of Russian Federation. Fonstein authored the book, Dual-phase Low Alloyed Steels, as well as more than 100 publications, including her most recent book, Advanced High Strength Sheet Steels – Physical Metallurgy, Design, Processing and Properties.
TMS/ASM Joint Distinguished Lectureship in Materials and Society
Date: Thursday, November 5
Time: 11:00 a.m. to Noon EST
Presenter: Charles H. Ward, Chief Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies Division, Air Force Research Laboratory, USA
Presentation Title: "Integrating Materials and Manufacturing"
About the Presentation
Innovations in digitally-centric technologies continue to progress at a breathtaking pace and are impacting all aspects of our daily and professional lives. Inherently empowered by these advances, Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) have helped transform the way in which we approach materials discovery and development, with a goal of delivering model-based definitions of materials and processes to be used in design, manufacture, and operation. Virtually concurrent with the launch of ICME and MGI, and equally fueled by advances in digital technologies, Digital Manufacturing, or Industry 4.0, seeks to securely flow rich component data through the manufacturing supply chain to digitally-native manufacturing equipment on the shop floor to accelerate production and enable novel designs while decreasing cost and enhancing product quality. This talk will focus on how the application of digital technologies in both materials and manufacturing are creating new opportunities to bring the two communities together.

ACerS Edward Orton Jr. Memorial Lecture
Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2020
Time: 11:00 a.m. to Noon EST
Presenter: Mrityunjay Singh, Chief Scientist, Ohio Aerospace Institute, USA
Presentation Title: "Additive Manufacturing: Disruptive Threat to Global Supply Chains and Enabler for Sustainable Development"
About the Presentation
The rapidly increasing global population and urgent need for improved living standards is leading to a dramatic increase in the consumption of resources and rate of pollution creating the risk of irreversible changes in the ecosystem. In response, the integration of new materials and innovative manufacturing technologies into product supply chains are needed to address human and societal needs and to promote sustainable development and economic competitiveness. Recently, there has been tremendous growth in the additive manufacturing (AM) landscape with the introduction of commercially available high-end machines suitable for industrial applications. In addition, availability of desktop 3-D printers as well as open source printers and platforms have facilitated the large-scale growth of distributed digital manufacturing. The paradigm shift in thinking, where one can turn their design into product on demand, is leading to new business models and challenging traditional models of product development and distribution.
In this presentation, an overview of different AM technologies will be provided along with technical challenges and opportunities. Various examples of materials (polymers, ceramics, metals, hybrids, and multi-material systems) and structures achieved from utilizing a wide variety of additive manufacturing approaches will be provided. Technical challenges and opportunities for the utilization of additive manufacturing as a powerful enabler for sustainable development and disruptive technological threat to global supply chains for different materials and systems will be presented.
