Cracking Phenomena in Welding and Additive Manufacturing 2025
Join this 5th international conference where international experts unite to discuss cracking phenomena connected to welding and additive manufacturing. Welcome to us at University West in Trollhättan on March 12-14, 2025!
About the conference
This is the 5th Conference on Cracking Phenomena in Welding and Additive Manufacturing that follows four successful events in 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2014.
The purpose of the conference is to gather international experts to discuss cracking phenomena associated with welding and additive manufacturing, from both a scientific and practical standpoint.
Topics include solidification and liquation cracking, ductility-dip cracking, reheat and stress-relief cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking, weldability testing, simulation and modeling, measurement and quantification, and remedial measures.
Peer-reviewed proceedings of the workshop will be published. Proceedings from previous conferences have been highly cited and are valuable resources for engineers and scientists.
For whom?
Academics and industrial researchers to present and highlight their most recent findings in the field. Of course, we also welcome attendants who do not intend to present, but who have a genuine interest in the cracking phenomena!
Submission of abstracts
Take the opportunity to share your research! Abstracts of 200-300 words should be submitted through the conference website at latest December 1, 2024.
Where?
University West is located in the city of Trollhättan, Sweden. The town is beautifully situated along the Göta River and has a rich history of industry and innovation and is today home to many large, medium and small manufacturing companies.
How much?
