3rd International Conference & Exhibition on Metallurgy, Materials, Welding & Fabrication Technologies
Date: 15–16 May 2026; Venue: Hotel Radisson Blu Dwarka, New Delhi
About the Conference
Metallurgy, Materials, Welding & Fabrication are critical to modern industrial and technological development, enabling safe, reliable, and efficient design, construction, and operation across key sectors such as Oil & Gas, Refineries, Petrochemicals, Pipelines, Power, Automobiles, Defense, Heavy Engineering, Infrastructure, and Manufacturing. Aligned with the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative to position the country as a global design and manufacturing hub, continuous advancements in materials development, metallurgy, welding, and fabrication technologies are essential to enhance industrial competitiveness.
The 3rd International Conference & Exhibition on Metallurgy, Materials, Welding & Fabrication Technologies (Materials–WeldFab 2026) provides an international, application-oriented platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and collaboration. The conference will address a wide spectrum of topics including mineral processing, iron and steel making, steel development, foundry and casting, forging and rolling, heat treatment, metal forming, material selection, mechanical and physical properties, and failure analysis, along with advanced and special materials such as nickel-, copper-, and aluminum-based alloys, duplex materials, corrosion-resistant alloys, composites, plastics, and non-metallic materials. A major focus will be on welding metallurgy, fabrication technologies, advanced welding processes, automation, quality assurance, and the effects of thermal cycles on material performance, bringing together industry experts, academicians, R&D organizations, and technology providers to bridge the gap between research and industrial application and shape the future of materials, welding, and fabrication technologies.
