The International Conference on Advanced Structural Steels (ICASS) is organized by National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in conjunction with The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan (ISIJ), Chinese Society for Metals (CSM) and Korean Institute of Metals and Materials (KIMM). The first ICASS will feature information on the latest scientific and technological developments in advanced structural steels and a summary of the achievements of the five-year project at NIMS in plenary lectures and technical sessions, which will consist of more than 180 presentations. The plenary lectures will report on the current state and future prospects of advanced-steel projects in progress in Japan, China, Korea and Europe. Technical sessions will cover such fields as creating high-strength steels and their applications to power generators, marine structures etc., and nano-scopic analyses and engineering of new materials for joining and welding. The common theme of all sessions is to create more resource-efficient and environmentally-friendly materials.
On behalf of NIMS, ISIJ, CSM and KIMM, we would like to welcome all of our colleagues to Tsukuba International Congress Center, located in the central part of Tsukuba Science City, for the first international conference. We hope that the conference will provide participants with an opportunity to exchange information and to have fruitful discussions on the latest scientific and technical progress in the field of structural steels. ICASS will be held biannually in Japan, China and Korea. We are very pleased to host the first ICASS in Tsukuba and wish ICASS continuous success in future. Almost simultaneously with ICASS, the 6th Workshop on the Ultra-Steel will also be held by NIMS at the same Congress Center on May 21. All the ICASS participants are welcome to attend the workshop free of charge, especially the poster session, where the latest achievements in Ultra-Steel will be displayed in English and discussion will be made in English. Posters will be exhibited until May 22, the first day of ICASS, in an open-house style. We hope the presenters will also have the opportunity to discuss the latest progress of Ultra-Steels in Japan.
