Welcome

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to the 18th International Conference on Semi Solid Processing of Alloys and Composites (S2P-2025), which will be held from 24-26 September, 2025 in Quebec City, Canada. The 18th S2P International Conference focuses on the advancement in fundamental knowledge and development of materials and industrial processes for semi-solid manufacturing of high-performance metal components. This conference will continue a successful series of conferences on semi-solid processing of alloys and composites started in 1990. We are looking forward to welcoming you at Quebec City!

Topics

The Conference is devoted to all aspects of semi-solid processing of metals alloys and composites with emphasis on basic research, engineering applications as well as market aspects. Results of engineering research and experience as well as scientific issues are relevant for the conference.

In particular, the Conference topics will cover, but will not be limited to:

• Material development and characterization
• Semi-solid slurry preparation and process developments
• Rheology, modelling and simulation
• Mold design and simulations
• Economic and environmental aspects
• Industrial applications
• Additive manufacturing in semi-solid processing
• Artificial Intelligence application in semi-solid processing
