International Symposium on Superalloy 718 and Derivatives 2026

It is held at David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

The published audience is superalloy and materials science researchers and engineers.

It is most useful for superalloy researchers and materials engineers, since the organizing committee and speakers come from Special Metals, GE Aerospace, ATI, Haynes International, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and several universities, and the keynote covers 68 years of Alloy 718 process work. It is the 11th edition and is held alongside MS&T26, so attendees can also reach the wider materials meeting, but engineers outside nickel alloys and superalloys would get less from such a narrow program.

Materials scientists and metallurgical engineers at technical symposia usually wear casual business attire, such as slacks or khakis with a collared shirt or sweater, with presenters sometimes dressing a bit smarter.
