Duplex Stainless Steels Conference & Exhibition 2010

Following on from a series of seven successful duplex conferences during the past twenty years, the next Duplex Stainless Steel Conference will be held at the same venue in Beaune, France, where the legendary and most famous Duplex Conference ever, was held in 1991. Again the content will be solely dedicated to duplex stainless steels with a strong emphasis on new developments such as lean and hyper duplex stainless steels. Presentations will be sourced on the comparison of properties between duplex and other alloys. Visitors to this upcoming conference will therefore benefit from the up-to-date exchange of information on long-term experiences with duplex stainless steels that have taken place since the previous Beaune Conference in 1991. The main topic will be cost saving and life-cycle aspects of nitrogen-containing duplex stainless steels in a variety of applications.

The conference programme will be put together by an Executive Committee of industrial & research experts and will be chaired by Jacques Charles, General Manager Global R&D of ArcelorMittal.
He has been active in the Steering Committees of all previous Duplex and Stainless Steel World Conferences. He chaired the Duplex Stainless Steels Conference in Beaune, France in 1991; co-chaired the Duplex Stainless Steels Conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands in 1997 and the Duplex Stainless Steels Conference in Grado, Italy in 2007. He has been responsible for numerous R&D projects and was Product Manager Stainless Steel and Clad Plates of Industeel, which gave him a lot of knowledge on the applications of duplex stainless steels. Recently, he has been heavily involved in the further development of stainless steels coils and sheet in Europe and Brazil.

First class Duplex Expo: all conference delegates will have free access to the Duplex 2010 Exhibition, which will run in parallel with the conference. The technical and commercial staff of over 60 specialised companies, from all over the world, will be pleased to give you an update on the availability of their products. This Duplex Expo is the sole responsibility of Stainless Steel World/KCI which has a vast amount of experience in the organization of world class exhibitions in Europe, the USA and Asia. If you would like more information about the Exhibition or wish to already book a stand, please contact Mrs. Elisa Hannan.
