20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TEXTURES OF MATERIALS

Organized by the LEM3 Laboratory of the Lorraine University andthe SF2M Société Française de Métallurgie et de Matériaux

Invitation

Chair Persons of the Conference

The International and Local Organizing Committees of the ICOTOM-20
International Conference invite you to share your latest scientificresults at international level in the domain of Textures of Materials
during the ICOTOM-20 Conference in Metz, France, June 30 - July 5,2024.

Laszlo S. Toth – Chair, Univ. Lorraine
Nathalie Gey – Co-Chair, CNRS
Lionel Germain – Co-Chair, Univ. LorraineBenoît Beausir - Co-Chair, Univ. Lorraine

This ICOTOM conference will be a forum on crystallographic textures ofmaterials and microstructures. Texture controls the anisotropic
properties of materials, and microstructure determines materialperformance. ICOTOM-20 will be a platform for understanding theorigin, observation, control, and modeling issues of textures andmicrostructures. It will cover all modern characterization techniques,material processing technologies and modeling for obtaining the bestmaterial possible for a better world.
This conference is part of a traditional conference series taking place inabout 3 years intervals: previous conferences were in Sakai (JP, 2021),
Saint George (US, 2017), Dresden (GE, 2014), Mumbay (IN, 2011),
Pittsburgh (US, 2008), Leuven (BE, 2005), Soeul (KR, 2002),
Montreal (CA, 1999), Xian (CN, 1996), Clausthal (GE, 1993),
Avignon (FR, 1990), Santa Fe (US, 1987), Noordwijkerhout (NL, 1984),
Tokyo (JP, 1981), Aachen (GE, 1978), Cambridge (UK, 1975), Pont-àMousson (FR, 1973), Cracow (PL, 1971), Clausthal (GE, 1969).
