SYMPOSIUM 11: Advanced Materials and Innovative Processing Ideas for Production Root Technologies
“Production root technologies” refers to a collection of six production technologies including casting, molding, forming, welding, heat treatment, and surface treatment. Production root technologies involve both materials and process technologies that are hidden behind products and do not frequently appear outward. However, they are very important fundamentally and greatly influence material or module performance. As the functions of products become more complex and robust, the importance of these production root technologies is concurrently growing.
Production root technologies have an inherent interdisciplinary nature, inevitably including a broad spectrum of skills from fundamental materials all the way up to component manufacturing and module integration. As demand increases for sustainable energy and semiconductor process especially by employing relevant materials, composites and/or functional techniques, the interdisciplinary approach plays even a greater role. Therefore, this symposium is designed to provide an opportunity for the world’s leading scientists and engineers from many fields to exchange ideas and to build new collaborations in the fields of production root technologies.
Proposed Session Topics
- Fundamental materials: mining, particles, bulk, and functional materials and precursors.
- Innovative manufacturing processes for recycling, sustainable energy, or the semiconductor industry.
- Future-oriented techniques for coating, forming, and shaping materials.
- Emerging intelligent technologies based on AI or IoT for enhancing product performance.
