Metallurgist Aims and scope

The Seventh International Congress on Ironmaking was held in Cleveland (Ohio, U.S.) on May 3–7, 2015. The Congress was held simultaneously with the annual conference of the American Association of Iron and Steel Engineers, AISTech’2015, and the annual international exposition organized by the association. Papers on ironmaking were presented at the Congress and reports on steel production and rolling, environmental issues, information technologies, and industrial safety in ferrous metallurgy were delivered at the Conference. More than 800 people participated in the Congress, Conference, and exposition combined. Six presentations were given in the Congress’ plenary session and 198 presentations were delivered in the various sections.
