Liquid Metal Processing & Casting Conference LMPC 2015

The Liquid Metal Processing & Casting Conference held in Leoben serves as a key gathering for professionals working across the metallurgical spectrum. Attendees from steelmaking, non-ferrous production, and foundry operations come together to discuss the latest findings in melt treatment, solidification control, and casting process optimization. Technical sessions cover topics ranging from inclusion engineering to advanced mould design, with an emphasis on improving product quality and process efficiency. The conference format encourages both formal presentations and informal exchange between researchers and plant engineers, making it a valuable meeting point for those seeking to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale understanding and industrial-scale application in liquid metal processing.

ASMET organises a comprehensive calendar of technical conferences, seminars, and workshops throughout the year, covering the full breadth of metallurgy and materials technology. These events are designed for professionals at every career stage, from students and early-career researchers to seasoned industry experts. Each gathering focuses on a specific theme, such as stainless steel, additive manufacturing, or light metals, ensuring that content remains relevant and deeply technical. By maintaining a structured yet accessible programme, ASMET enables participants to stay current with emerging trends, regulatory developments, and process innovations that directly affect their daily work in production, quality control, or research and development environments.

The events booking platform provides a streamlined way for attendees to browse upcoming conferences, review detailed programmes, and secure their participation. Users can search by date, category, or location, making it simple to find events that match their professional interests and travel plans. The interface presents clear information about each conference, including session topics, speaker line-ups, and venue details, so that prospective attendees can make informed decisions. Registration is handled through the same system, reducing administrative friction for both organisers and participants. This centralised approach helps professionals manage their continuing education and networking commitments without the need to navigate multiple separate registration portals.

Beyond individual conferences, the broader community fostered by these events creates lasting value for the metallurgical sector. Regular face-to-face meetings allow practitioners from different countries and companies to build relationships that extend well beyond the lecture hall. Informal discussions during coffee breaks and evening receptions often lead to collaborative research projects, shared benchmarking exercises, and long-term professional friendships. The cross-pollination of ideas between academia and industry, and between different metal-processing sectors, helps drive innovation in ways that isolated laboratory work or single-company development cannot achieve. This network effect is one of the most enduring benefits of attending ASMET-organised gatherings year after year.
