The 1st International Electronic Conference on Metallurgy and Metals
the chair
Dear colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Electronic Conference on Metallurgy and Metals (IEC2M) that will be hosted online at https:sciforum.netconferenceIEC2M
Metallurgy and Metals play a crucial role in current technology and have critical importance in addressing major societal challenges. Among them, process metallurgy (i.e., extracting metals from their ores to make refined alloys), physical metallurgy (i.e., shaping, alloying, heat treatment, joining, corrosion protection, and testing of metals), and critical metals recovery from secondary waste streams are of outstanding importance. IEC2M will present the state-of-the-art of Metallurgy and Metals related to these issues.
IEC2M 2021 will promote and advance the exciting and rapidly changing field of Metallurgy and Metals. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Hydrometallurgy/Pyrometallurgy
2. Powder Metallurgy
3. Corrosion and Protection
4. Biobased and Biodegradable Metals
5. Metal Forming
6. Additive Manufacturing
7. Metal Failure
8. Metal Recycling
IEC2M 2021 will enable you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with the worldwide vibrant community of scientists and engineers in the field.
IEC2M 2021 will make your presentation accessible to hundreds of researchers worldwide, with the active engagement of the audience in question and answer sessions and discussion groups that will take place online.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee. The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to produce an extended abstract for the conference proceedings along with a slide presentation of their work. Following the conference, outstanding contributions will be invited to be submitted for publication in Metals.
IEC2M 2021 is a new and exciting experience for me that I believe this event will contribute to the dissemination of knowledge despite the situation regarding Covid-19. IEC2M 2021 will contribute to the dissemination of research in an online environment that will maintain the same standards and structure of traditional conferences but will be more inclusive by eliminating the cost and time barriers that prevent participation in physical events.
I hope you will join us and present your work at IEC2M 2021, and be part of this exciting online experience.
Best regards,
Prof. Eric D. van Hullebusch

Warmest congratulations on the success of the 1st International Electronic Conference on Metallurgy and Metals (IEC2M). Many thanks for your participation.
All participants of IEC2M are welcome to submit the extended work to the Metals Special Issue "Selected Papers from the 1st International Electronic Conference on Metallurgy and Metals (IEC2M 2021)".
The winners of IEC2M Best Paper Award and Best Poster Award will be announce on 20th March 2021.
On 25 February 2021, Prof. Dr. Eric D. van Hullebusch chaired the live session of The 1st International Electronic Conference on Metallurgy and Metals.
Prof. Dr. João Pedro Oliveira first described recent technological variants in Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of advanced engineering alloys to control defect formation and microstructure. Special emphasis was given to a hot forging WAAM, recently developed by his current research team. His presentation was not recorded upon his request.
Dr. Akira Otsuki then presented his research in metal recovery for sustainable resource utilization, including the sustainable beneficiation of complex primary and secondary raw materials (fluorescent powders and printed circuit board).
After each speaker presentation, a Q&A session moderated by the conference chair was held to answer all questions submitted by live online audience.
Speaker: Prof. Dr. João Pedro Oliveira
Prof. Dr. João Pedro Oliveira is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. So far, he has published more than 75 peer-reviewed papers and has a Scopus h-index of 23. He has also presented several oral communications and posters at international conferences. He currently supervises four PhD students and co-supervises another three. He has led multiple industrial and fundamental research projects in the areas of welding and joining. In total he has been granted up to around €800,000 in research projects. His research activities and participation in seminar and training schools allowed him to acquire competences in several characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction using both conventional and synchrotron radiation sources, thermal analysis, and mechanical testing, among others. His research interests include weldability and the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical behavior of different classes of materials, such as shape memory alloys, Co-based superalloys, high-entropy alloys, and stainless steels. Additionally, João has a special interest in additive manufacturing techniques.
Speaker: Dr. Akira Otsuki
Dr. Akira Otsuki is a faculty member of ENSG, GeoRessources Laboratory, University of Lorraine (FR), a guest professor in non-destructive characterization and selective material recovery at Lulea University of Technology (SE), and a visiting researcher in Neutron Beam Technology Team at RIKEN (JP). He received his PhD in 2007 in Geosystem Engineering from The University of Tokyo, Japan. He is a member of several academic societies, including Int. Waste Working Group. He has been acting as journal editors and also organizing journal special issues relevant to nondestructive characterization/testing and selective material recovery, including “Advances in Characterization of Heterogeneous Metals/Alloys”. Dr. Otsuki’s research is specialized in the area of characterization and processing of complex materials which include colloids, waste materials, and natural ores. He has extensive exchange programs with different research and academic institutions around the world and is performing world class collaborative research in characterization and processing.
