After 4 years of intensive exchange and work, the members of COST Action 535 are happy to invite you to their
final conference. The conference is open to the scientific
community with an interest in materials research associated with the
4th Discussion Meeting on the Development of
Innovative Iron Aluminium Alloys
Thermodynamics of Alloyed Aluminides, THALU
October 22 – 24, 2007
Hotel Metropole, Interlaken, Switzerland
The conference focuses on three themes:
• Computational Thermodynamics related to THALU
• Presentation of the THALU group projects
•
4th
Discussion Meeting on the Development of
Innovative Iron Aluminium Alloys;
organised by Ronny Krein, Martin Palm,
Michael Spiegel, Frank Stein
(MPIE Düsseldorf, Germany)
The meeting will include invited keynote lectures and contributed papers, and non-COST 535 participants are kindly invited to submit related research papers. Contributions
will be accepted as oral presentations (15 min plus 5 min
discussion) or posters based on the submitted abstract.
Abstract submission, registration, programme and practical information are available on the conference website:
www.empa.ch/COST535.

COST 535 – THALU
Aluminides are a class of intermetallic compounds that are
becoming increasingly important in materials science as a
result of their highly beneficial physical properties. The
intrinsic complexity of these materials requires that a thorough understanding at a scientific level and application
in an industrial context can be best achieved through the
combination of advanced experimental and theoretical
techniques. COST Action 535 on the Thermodynamics of
Alloyed Aluminides (THALU) began in 2003 as a European
collaborative project to investigate the thermodynamics
and phase equilibria in the core system, Al-Fe-Ni-Ti. A
major goal of the work was the provision of a complete
self-consistent thermodynamic description of this quaternary system. In order to address this, a programme of work
was initiated covering not only assessment of the constituent binary and ternary systems but also of experimental and ab initio studies. The programme was conducted
through a number of collaborative group projects that
allowed scientists from laboratories in different European
nations to work together on particular aspects of aims of
the Action. The successes of this project are not only to
the credit of the scientists involved, but also to the COST
organisation (as part of the European Science Foundation)
who facilitated the collaboration.
COST 535 MC
Like its predecessors (2004: Düsseldorf, 2005: Toulouse,
2006: Mettmann), the meeting will provide a forum to present and discuss the current status of research and development of iron aluminium based alloys which have been
identified as an interesting addition to conventional iron
based materials such as cast iron and steels for structural applications. Iron-aluminium alloys offer a lower density
and good corrosion resistance in combination with high
strength at ambient and intermediate temperatures. Important advantages are the low material costs and the possibility to produce ingots or parts by techniques which are
readily available within the industry.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 24, 2007
with related sessions already held over the two preceding
days. Topics of the discussion meeting include:
• Novel light-weight steels
• Alloys for high-temperature applications
• Constitution, phase transformations, defects
(experiments and modelling)
• Fundamental aspects/properties
• Microstructures and mechanical properties
• Processing and joining
• Coatings
• Environmental resistance and oxidation
