Dual Conference on the Integrity of Welds & Creep and Fatigue at Elevated Temperatures
25 Sep 2012 - 27 Sep 2012, IOM3, London, UK
4th International Conference on the Integrity of High Temperature Welds
This event continues the successful series of conferences covering topics relevant to the science and engineering community concerned with the performance and safety of welded components operating at high temperatures.
The scope covers topics pertinent to the industries of power-generation, chemical plants and aero-engine manufacturing.:
9th International Conference on Creep and Fatigue at Elevated Temperatures
This long-standing conference serves the science and engineering community by including developments in high temperature equipment operation and improves the understanding and prediction of time-dependent material behaviour.
Call for papers- DEADLINE 1 March 2012

Loughborough University Materials Research School Expo 2011
Presents a showcase of Materials Research for Energy at Loughborough University on Thursday 22nd September 2011 09.30 – 16.00
The adaptation of the current energy system in relation to reducing dependence on fossil fuel and mitigating against its impact on climate, environment and health remains the global challenge of the 21st century. Materials are key to all energy technologies. Future demands on materials performance will undoubtedly increase as materials become subject to higher temperatures and pressures, extreme stress and strain, and increasingly aggressive environments. Therefore, it is crucial to sustain research, development and modelling of materials for energy applications.
Materials Research Equipment Database
Professor Ken Parsons, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, opened the launch of the Research Equipment Database in September 2009. This informative event showcased a valuable new resource, developed by the Materials Research School with project support from engCETL. The Equipment Database is a web-based resource providing staff and students with information about the location, accessibility and detailed technical specifications of materials-related equipment across the campus. To date, over 800 pieces of equipment have been logged into the database, covering 13 departments representing all three faculties.
Materials Research School Workshops
We also run a programme of internal workshops to encourage networking and multidisciplinary research in materials across the campus. For further information please see the MRS intranet.
