(Participants: G. Pantazopoulos and A. Vazdirvanidis)
The paper with the title “Fundamental Aspects of Rolled Zn Alloy Sheet Formability: Structure-Property and Failure Mode Relationships” authored by Dr. George Pantazopoulos, Mr. Anagnostis Toulfatzis, Mr. Athanasios Vazdirvanidis and Mr. Andreas Rikos from ELKEME S.A. was presented in the International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials, Processing, Fabrication, Properties and Applications (Thermec 2016), 29 May – 3 June 2016, Graz, Austria. The paper reviews the assessment of formability behaviour of ZnTiCu rolled specimens using various mechanical testing and sheet forming techniques in conjunction to microstructure characterization, in order to interpret the obtained differences of metal performance in component manufacturing. Dr. George Pantazopoulos was also co-chairman of the session “Materials Performance” on 31st May 2016.
