Additive manufactured parts: Papers invited for ASTM International Symposium

Papers are invited for the ASTM International Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Parts, November 7th-8th, 2018.

The symposium is sponsored by the ASTM International committees on additive manufacturing technologies, fatigue and fracture, non-destructive testing, as well as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS).

The symposium will be held in conjunction with the November standards development meetings of the committee on fatigue and fracture.



To ensure the structural integrity of manufactured parts, there is a need for establishing process-structure-property-performance relationships, specifically as they pertain to fatigue and fracture behaviour of these components and structures.

This symposium is designed for professionals within the additive manufacturing community, including industrial, academic, government, and regulatory representatives. This event will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas.

Paper topics for this symposium may include, but are not limited to:

* Standards for additive manufacturing

* Applicability of existing mechanical test methods to additive manufactured parts

* Fatigue, fracture, tensile, wear, corrosion, creep behaviour of components, fabricated using additive manufacturing

* Effects of surface roughness, build orientation, heat treatment, size, shape, residual stress, etc

* Development of new test methods, and more.

Those interested in presenting at the symposium should submit a 250-300 word abstract using the online Abstract Submittal Form no later than May 25th.

The symposium chairmen will notify you via postal mail by June 22nd of your paper’s acceptance for presentation at the symposium.
