This workshop aims to foster collaboration and innovation in critical areas such as the development and integration of novel processing methods and simulation tools to support sustainable metals processing. As a part of fostering these collaborations, this workshop hopes to identify critical materials challenges in the following topic areas: Sustainable Extractive Metallurgy, Innovative Metal Manufacturing Technologies, and Lifecycle Assessment and Recycling Innovations.
The first topic, "Sustainable Extractive Metallurgy," will feature discussions related to the replacements for critical materials and minerals, sustainable hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and electrometallurgy processes, as well as novel reduction processes for iron and innovative electrolysis processes for aluminum. The second topic area, "Innovative Metal Manufacturing Technologies," will focus on identifying new methods for metals processing to improve sustainability and alloy optimization for impurity tolerance. Lastly, " Lifecycle Assessment and Recycling Innovation " will explore alloy design for improved recyclability, metallurgical solutions to scrap contamination, lifecycle assessment, and methods for manufacturing powder feedstock from scrap materials.
