ASM is the only society that unites different market segments that cross the entire materials world. IMAT, the ASM International annual meeting focused on the membership and materials community needs, will offer an industry-oriented conference and exposition targeting a broad range of materials, processes, and their applications, with an emphasis on advanced materials and advanced manufacturing technologies. Traditional materials’ topics of strong interest will be explored, including metals, ceramics, composites, coatings, alloy development, microstructure/process/properties relationships, phase equilibria, mechanical behavior, joining, corrosion, and failure analysis. A spectrum of emerging topics of common interest, instrumental in advancing materials development and cutting-edge technologies will be covered, such as: advance manufacturing technologies including additive, industry 4.0 and digitization of the materials industry, biomedical/multifunctional materials, power and transportation industries, materials for the energy, renewable and sustainable materials & processes, and materials to enable automation and robotics.

Multiple student events and competitions will be offered to provide an arena for the presentation of students’ research and develop connections to the next generation of materials scientists.
