ITSC, AeroMat, and IMS!
5K FUN RUN/WALK
Tuesday, May 12
5:45 a.m.
Start your Tuesday with an ener-
gizing run/walk along the beautiful Cali-
fornia Coast with your fellow conference
attendees. At the end of your invigorat-
ing jaunt, recharge during a networking
refreshment break before heading off to
sessions. A portion of the proceeds will
benefit the National Stroke Association.
Separate registration is required.

CONFERENCE SOCIAL EVENT
Tuesday, May 12 at the Queen Mary
7:00–10:00 p.m.
A special event aboard the historic
Queen Mary will give attendees the op-
portunity to build business relationships
and network with key contacts. This
historic ship, named after King George’s
wife Mary, was once hailed as the grand-
est ocean liner in the world and carried
Hollywood celebrities like Bob Hope
and Clark Gable. Attendees will be able
to enjoy her rich history during an old
Hollywood glamour event with special
surprises and entertainment.

AEROMAT 2015 SESSION
DESCRIPTIONS
Additive Manufacturing (AM)
These sessions include presenta-
tions on advances in metallic AM tech-
nologies in the aerospace, medical, and
transportation industries. Presenta-
tions cover AM methods, applications,
materials and processes, mechanical
properties, and design practices.
Advanced Aluminum Alloys—
Light High-Performance Alloys
and Structures
These sessions cover research, de-
velopment, and applications of alumi-
num alloys and aluminum alloy-based
hybrid materials (e.g., FML, MMC). Tech-
nical presentations cover subjects rang-
ing from alloy development to evalua-
tions of the performance of structural
subcomponents and components.
Composite Materials, Processes,
and Structures
These composite sessions will
cover current work ranging from fun-
damental science and technology de-
velopment to process development
and fabrication, and include matrix and
reinforcement materials development,
processing and process modeling, di-
mensional control, and applications.
Emerging Materials and Processes
These sessions will focus on new
alloy developments and novel process-
ing techniques across the range of aero-
space materials.
Failure Analysis of Aerospace
Components
This session will highlight a va-
riety of recent cases with a special
presentation on the future of aviation
failure analysis.
High Temperature & Turbine Materials
Advances in alloys, ceramics, in-
termetallics, and coatings for high-tem-
perature applications will be present-
ed, with emphasis on how integrated
computational materials engineering
(ICME) has become enabling to cost-
effective and rapid development.
Integrated Computational
Materials Engineering (ICME)
This session covers research relat-
ed to the computational modeling and
accelerated development of advanced
new aerospace materials.
Nondestructive Evaluation
Techniques in Aerospace
This session will review the follow-
ing techniques: Acoustic wave, laser
ultrasonics, quantitative percussion
diagnostics, phased array ultrasonics,
and full matrix capture and computed
tomography.
Surface Engineering and
Fatigue Life Enhancement
This session covers research and
commercial advances based on surface
microstructural modification, metallic
coatings, and methods to induce bene-
ficial residual compressive stresses.
Sustainability of Aerospace
Materials & Processes
These sessions aim to highlight
and report on challenges in environ-
mental sustainability specific to the
aerospace industry, elucidate leading
sustainable approaches, and recom-
mend best practices.
Titanium Alloy Technology
These processing and metallurgy
sessions will provide an update on the
latest titanium aerospace technologies
covering near-alpha, alpha/beta, and
beta alloys.
Welding and Joining
The welding sessions cover many
areas of friction, power beam, and fu-
sion welding technologies, and adhe-
sive hybrid bonding for a variety of air-
craft and space applications.
