8th International Symposium on Bearing Steel Technologies: Developments in Rolling Bearing Steels and Testing

May 21, 2009 - May 22, 2009,
Hyatt Regency Vancouver Vancouver, British Columbia Canada

Papers are invited for the Eighth International Symposium on Bearing Steels: Developments in Rolling Bearing Steels and Testing, sponsored by ASTM Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys. The symposium will be held May 21-22, 2009, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in conjunction with the May 18-21, 2009 standards development meetings of Committee A01.

Previous ASTM bearing steel symposia in this series have dealt with various aspect of bearing steel technologies, and the symposia papers have been published in the Journal of ASTM International (JAI) and as ASTM Special Technical Publications (STPs). The international nature of the ASTM bearing steel symposia make them a unique forum for the presentation and discussion of global bearing steel technologies. This eighth symposium will continue the tradition.

The broad goal of the symposium is to bring together rolling bearing steel practitioners to present the latest developments in rolling bearing steels and testing. Papers from steelmakers, semi-finished and finished bearing steel component producers, rolling bearing producers, and development and research institutes are encouraged. In addition to bearing steel steelmaking quality papers, bearing steel technology review and new development papers on the rating of nonmetallic inclusions are particularly welcome, to identify the progress 35 years since the first ASTM bearing symposium (Boston, 1974) dedicated to that subject.

Papers are therefore solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

* Bearing steelmaking process developments related to cost and quality (value),
* Development in bearing steel quality assessment,
* Steel macro and micro cleanliness effects on the rolling bearing service life performance,
* Developments in ultrasound testing methodologies,
* New alloy and heat treatment developments
* Latest information on bearing steel/rolling bearing functional testing methods and practices,
* Material factors in bearing life prediction models, effects of steel cleanliness, alloy additions and microstructure.

Performing Tangier Fifth Edition

May 21, 2009 - May 24, 2009,
The Chellah Hotel, Tangier Morocco

The aim of the conference is therefore to interrogate and try to bridge the chasm between the theoretical and the material, the local and the global, the past and the present to open new venues for the future. Building on the themes of the precious conferences, we specifically invite papers and panels that will continue the evaluations of the voices of Tangier and its historical and cultural status, and also gesture toward the future to propose and discuss the cultural, literary, and artistic opportunities that Tangier will continue to provide and the role it will continue to play in our ever shifting global cultural map.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

· A critique of postcolonial representations of Tangier
· Relevance of theoretical readings of Tangier
· Tangier as a historical site of cultural diversity
· Tangier as an inspirational site for international authors
· Tangier as represented in various media
· Tangier and the environment
· The future of Tangier as world cultural capital
· The status of Tangier within globalism
· Tangier between the word and the world
