Theatre : Sustainability and Circular Economy
Aluminium cans are highly recyclable and widely recycled already in the UK, achieving an 82% recycling rate for 2021, but there are more challenges that need addressing to achieve holistic sustainability.
Join our panel of experts from across the value chain as they share what they’re doing, both as individual actors and as a value chain, to meet these challenges.
Powder atomisation is a cost-effective processing method that has the ability to produce complex shapes which are impractical, or even impossible, for conventional processes whilst minimising machining by producing parts…
Recent research has shown that nearly 50% of companies wait for a part or tool to fail before conducting simulation. In this presentation we will be exploring the benefits of…
The Forge is the UK’s first net-zero commercial development by Landsec and the world’s first large-scale office scheme to be built using a standardised “kit of parts”. Steelwork played a…
Steel is the backbone of modern economies and underpins many industrial sectors, including construction which accounts for more than half of all steel use globally. Steel also has a vital…
Offshore wind is set to grow from 10.4GW in 2021 to over 40GW by 2030. With a designed lifetime of 20-25 years, the first turbines are also starting to be…
The demand for quality metal and metal alloy powders from additive manufacturing, aerospace, defence, electronics, clean energy firms and many more industries that are central to our progress is set…
Great Britain now has its own robust regulatory framework for goods – the UKCA marking, and the UK’s domestic regime seeks to ensure consumers are protected from unsafe, and non-compliant…
This session is looking at the medium and longer-term developments of skill and training needed in advanced manufacturing.
The first step to reducing your carbon footprint is to measure it – ‘what gets measured gets managed’ An important part of this transition is helping organisations understand how and…
Compact nuclear power stations can help us decarbonise our energy production. We are leading a consortium developing power plants that generate electricity using a small modular reactor (SMR). Fleets of…
Almost every part of modern daily life relies on minerals, often mined thousands of miles away. As technology evolves faster than ever, we become more and more reliant on a…
The financial risks in developing a new alloy or thermomechanical process for a steelmaker are significant, especially in the light of recent increases in raw materials and energy costs. Liberty…
Metals are at the very heart of modern society. Nothing is made without metals being part of the process, product or solution. In the face of the very real climate…
If the right material should be in the right place, then the right manufacturing technology should be used to achieve target shape. Therefore Resource efficient manufacturing is based on three…
The UK manufacturing and construction sectors are reliant on imports of metals. With most value-chains reaching back to China and further, these imports are increasingly being buffeted by macroeconomics, trade…
Synopsis will be confirmed soon
Historically, the discovery, development and application of metals have set the pace for the evolution of human civilisation, driven the way that people live, and shaped our modern societies. Today,…
Apprenticeships are a great way for employers to nurture their own talent and provide an excellent route for young people to enter the labour market when starting out in their…
Indentation Plastometry is a novel testing technology that extracts stress/strain curve’s from a 3-minute indentation test. The method uses a combination of testing hardware and an inverse finite element method…
The Materials Processing Institute operates a pilot scale steel making facility which is unique within the UK. The facility serves a dual purpose of being a functional production facility for…
