The Solidification Course is now a well recognised event
Solidification Course 2009
Dedicated to metallurgists and foundry engineers, this course
is orientated towards the application of solidification theories
to industrial casting processes. Special emphasis is given to
the control of microstructural features and to defect reduction.
This one week course, held in English, is co-organised by Calcom
ESI, the Swiss Federal Institute
of Technology at Lausanne and the
French School of Mines at Nancy. The course is taught by renowned
lecturers from Switzerland, France, the United States and Austria,
including C. Beckermann, W.J. Boettinger, H. Combeau, J. Dantzig,
A. Ludwig and M. Rappaz.
