News 2022
The 18th International Conference on Aluminium (ICAA18) was organized as an hybrid event in Toyama, Japan, September 4th-8th. At ICAA-conferences scientists from academia and industry meet to exchange new knowledge and breakthroughs through discussions on the science and applications of aluminium alloys. The ICAA conference is organized every second year and was this time organized by the Japan Institute of Light Metals (JILM) and hosted by University of Toyama.
SFI PhysMet contributed significantly to the conference program: Centre director Knut Marthinsen was invited plenary speaker and chaired one of the sessions. During the conference he gave a presentation on Aluminium alloy and process development through microstructure characterization and modelling. NTNU professors Randi Holmestad and Bjørn Holmedal contributed as keynote speakers and Prof. Holmestad also acted as session chair. Dr. Jesper Friis and PhD candidate Tor Inge Thorsen also gave presentations during the conference.
Randi Holmestad, Knut Marthinsen (NTNU) and senior researcher Calin D. Marioara, (SINTEF), have collaborated closely with Center for Advanced Materials Research and International Collaboration (CAMRIC) at Toyama University for more than 10 years. They also contribute as members of the Advisory Board for International Science Network (i-MSN) at Toyoma University. University of Toyama is one of the partners in the INTPART project NJALC (Norwegian-Japanese Aluminium alloy Research and Education Collaboration; (Phase I (2016-2019 and Phase II (2020-2023), in which NTNU, SINTEF and Hydro are Norwegian partners.
