“Material, Welding & Fabrication” are the essential part of everyday life and their application is extensive in today’s technological development. With the launch of the ‘Make in India’ initiative by the Government of India, to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub, developments in the Material development & production, Welding & fabrication Industry are the need of the moment to make Indian products globally competitive. The conference will focus mainly on the application-oriented topics related to Heavy Industries like Oil & Gas Production facilities, Refineries & Petrochemicals, Pipeline, Power & Energy Sector, Automobiles, and Infrastructure etc. 
 
"Materials" conference will try to cover various metallurgy & materials related topics like Mineral Processing, Steel/ Iron Making, Steel Developments, Foundry & Casting, Forging, Rolling, Advanced materials, Ni-alloys, Cu-alloys, Al-alloys, Duplex material, CRA’s, Plastic Materials, Composite, Material Selection, Physical & Mechanical Properties, Pipeline Material, Automobile Material, Heat Treatment, Metal Forming, Failure Analysis etc.
 
Welding metallurgy is an important field because the welded material changes its microstructure and properties due to the heat cycle associated with welding. Qualified and competent welding engineers with multidisciplinary knowledge are essential for the success of the welding industry. Also, newer materials ranging from existing metallic materials to advanced materials, composites, nano-materials and others have started. Welding of these materials poses technological challenges in welding fabrication, leading to the development of superior welding processes and quality assurance criteria.

"WeldFab" conference will provide a dynamic forum to share, enhance and utilize the knowledge base in Welding, Fabrication and allied technologies to fill up the gaps and attend to the problems faced by the Industry.
 
The “Materials" & "WeldFab” conferences are going to bring together experts from academia, industries, research & development organizations and professional societies for sharing of knowledge, expertise, new technologies/developments, Innovations and experience in the emerging trends related to Steels & advanced materials, Welding & fabrication techniques for the Industry.
