Event Location: Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, Florida, United States

Organized by: ASTM Committee B09 on Metal Powders and Metal Powder

About the Event

Workshop on Metal Powder Characterization will be held April 15, 2025. The workshop is organized by ASTM Committee B09 on Metal Powders and Metal Powder, and will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, Florida, United States in conjunction with the standards development meetings of the committee. The language of the workshop will be English.

Objective and Scope

Some metal powder characterization techniques that have yet to be standardized will be reviewed, and the parameters they measure defined and explained. Rotating drum testers and rotating blade rheometers will be covered and the effect of laboratory testing conditions such as relative humidity will be illustrated. Powder spreadability will be discussed along with methods for testing it directly or correlating rheological test results with spreading characteristics.

Abstract Submission

To participate in the symposium, authors must submit a 250 to 300-word preliminary abstract using the online Abstract Submission Portal no later than DATE. To ensure your abstract was received into the ASTM database, please email symposia@astm.org and let us know that you have submitted an abstract.

The abstract must include a clear definition of the objective and approach of the work discussed, pointing out material that is new, and present sufficient details regarding results. The presentation and manuscript must not be of a commercial nature, nor can it have been previously published. Because a limited number of abstracts will be accepted, be sure that your abstract submission is complete to allow for careful assessment of the paper's suitability for this symposium. The symposium chair(s) will notify you via email by DATE of your paper’s acceptability for presentation at the symposium. If the preliminary abstract is accepted, the author will be requested to submit a final abstract a few months before the symposium. The final abstracts will be distributed in a program booklet at the symposium.

Publication Information

Symposium authors are required to submit their papers for ASTM publication in Selected Technical Papers (STP), an online and printed, peer-reviewed publication for the international scientific and engineering community. STP papers should be full-length technical papers of approximately 10,000 words, significantly contribute to the technical literature, and must include a review of past work in the relevant area and present information of current interest or probe new fields. After the final selection of abstracts has been approved, the ASTM Editorial Office will send authors’ instructions via email, but also can be found by clicking here.

Manuscripts to be peer reviewed for the STP are due online no later than DATE at the ASTM Editorial Office. The corresponding author (the author who is the main contact with ASTM Headquarters) will receive a copy of his/her paper in portable document format (PDF). All published authors will have the opportunity to purchase reprints of their papers at a nominal cost. Only those papers submitted by the manuscript due date will be included in the STP. Please note that all submitted papers are subject to peer review by two independent reviewers.

The STP will be submitted to the Library of Congress with an ISBN number and will be reviewed for inclusion in the Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and Google Scholar.
