4th International Conference on Medium and High Manganese Steels

Scope:

The HMnS2019 is the fourth international conference
covering all scientific and technical aspects of medium
and high Mn steels. After the success of the previous
HMnS conferences in Seoul (2011), Aachen (2014) and
Chengdu (2016) the HMnS2019 will return to Aachen,
Germany. Here, the twelve‐year long collaborative
research center (SFB) 761 on Mn steels “Steel – ab
initio. Quantum mechanics guided design of new Fe
based materials” with more than 50 international
researchers at the RWTH Aachen University and the
Max‐Planck‐Institut für Eisenforschung comes to an end.
Therefore we intend to offer an international
forum on high Mn steels.
Medium and high Mn steels exhibit complex
deformation mechanisms leading to an extraordinary
combination of mechanical properties. Austenitic singlephase
high Mn steels and multi‐phase medium Mn
steels between 3 to 30 wt.% Mn will be addressed to
cover the ongoing scientific and industrial developments
in the design and processing of Mn‐rich high‐strength
steels. The HMnS2019 will bring together international
scientists and engineers to discuss the understanding of
the underlying physical phenomena and possible
answers to relevant technical challenges.
We intend to address participants from both scientific
institutions and industry. Oral sessions will range from
fundamental aspects to final application. In addition, a
conference tour, included in the programm, will
introduce various institutes and facilities in the high tech
engineering city Aachen and the future of production
within the context of industry 4.0 at RWTH Aachen
University.
