Description
These proceedings are from The International Symposium on Liquid Metal Processing and Casting, held on September 20-23 at the El Dorado Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The International Symposium on Liquid Metal Processing proceedings cover the following areas:

• Primary and secondary melt processing including VIM, VAR, ESR, EBCHR and PAM
• Physical property measurements of liquid metals
• Refining, evaporation and gas/metal reactions
• Casting and solidification of ingots, and mechanisms for defect formations during the casting and solidification process
• Modeling of metallurgical processes, including heat/mass flow modeling of liquid metal and solidifications
• Ceramic, slag and refractory reactions with liquid metals
• Fundamentals of reactions involving liquid metals in production processes
• Direct forming of parts from liquid metals
