More than 4,000 business leaders, engineers, scientists and other professionals in the minerals, metals and materials fields attended the 143rd TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition in San Diego, California on 16th – 20th February 2014.
The TMS 2014 Annual Meeting presented nearly 70 symposia covering a broad range of topics related to materials science and engineering.
Conference
The Aluminium Keynote Session focussed on the aluminium industry supply chain and how it will move on to the next ‘S curve’.
Over several decades, research and development within the aluminium industry has been constrained by factors such as cost cutting and ‘rationalisation’ following company mergers and take-overs.
Speakers from Alcoa, Hydro Aluminium and Rio Tinto, explored this topic from the perspective of smelting and alumina production, looked at the role of external research projects as well as the innovation in the North American industry, and examined innovation in the broader mining industry.
