Journey through the fascinating world of superalloys, the metals that have continually pushed the boundaries of innovation for over a century. From the depths of the oceans to the vast expanse of outer space, superalloys have been the cornerstone of critical applications, proving their resilience and versatility time and time again. Contrary to the frequent predictions of their decline in favor of composites and intermetallics, the development of superalloys is thriving. The future of these remarkable metals is brighter than ever as we step into their second century! 

The seminar will start at 8:30 AM and conclude at 5:30 PM. Breakfast and lunch will be served.  A networking session will be held immediately following, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with food and beverages provided. 

This seminar will provide eight (8) Professional Development Hours (PDH) by request. For group discounts or additional information, please contact the Seminar Committee at [email protected].
