Join us for the International Conference on Advances in Materials, Manufacturing & Repair for Power Plants held from February 25-28, 2025, in Indian Wells (Palm Springs area), California.

The world is undergoing an energy transformation, and the safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible operation of today’s and tomorrow’s power plants requires continued advancement in high-temperature materials technology. Materials serve as the key enabling technology driving the development of high-efficiency power conversion technologies. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is proud to continue its partnership with ASM for its Advances in Materials Conference, building on EPRI’s inaugural event in 1987 and rotating between the UK, Europe, North America, and the Pacific, with the most recent conference held in Nagasaki, Japan (2019). The 2025 Conference will highlight the latest advancements in materials, manufacturing, and repair for conventional thermal power generation, including steam power (HRSG, Boilers, steam turbines), gas turbines, concentrating solar power, geothermal energy, and advanced systems such as small modular reactors, advanced nuclear technologies, bulk thermal energy storage, sCO2 power cycles, next-generation CSP, A-USC steam, and hydrogen technologies.

This conference will foster a robust technical exchange and promote collaboration among scientists, engineers, and academics on an international scale, centered around the following conference themes:

  • High-Temperature Materials: superalloys, CSEF steels, stainless steels, intermetallics, non-metallics, coatings, claddings
  • Damage Mechanisms & Properties: Creep, creep-fatigue, oxidation and corrosion, weld performance, wear/erosion
  • Component Manufacturing: castings, forgings, blades, rotors, valves, shop & field fabrication processes, etc.
  • Advanced Manufacturing: additive (PBF, DED, etc.), Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP), advanced welding and cladding processes
  • Qualification: Design, design rules, codes & standards
  • Performance: Field experience, life management, Fitness-for-Service (FFS), feature testing, modeling & validation
  • Repair: weld repair, rejuvenation, advanced repair methods
  • Emerging High-Temperature Materials Technology: refractories, new alloy developments, modeling developments
Conference participants are expected to include domestic and international utilities, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), equipment suppliers, alloy material vendors, forge shops, casting houses, advanced manufacturing companies, national laboratories, universities, and research/consulting organizations. All presenters will be required to submit a technical paper. To ensure a high-quality technical program, an exceptional International Advisory Board has been formed, along with experts serving on Technical Review Committees to oversee the technical content of a fully referenced conference proceedings published by ASM International. Don’t miss this unparalleled opportunity to engage with leading experts, shape the future of materials technology in power generation, and contribute to global advancements in energy innovation. Plan now to join us in Indian Wells for this milestone event.

To Add Additional Sponsors:

Please use the navigator tool, this should be located in the left pane, that looks like stacked papers. This will open the navigator pane. Most of the time the elements will be collapsed. I’ve renamed the elements so that way we can easily identify what are headings and what are sponsors.

 

You will need to find the sponsor container in the navigator, then either use the keyboard shortcut of CTRL + D or right click the element in the navigator and select duplicate.

 

To Add Another Grouping of Sponsors

You will need to find the element that follows the naming convention of the grouping, then either perform the keyboard shortcut for duplicate (CTRL + D) or right click the element in the navigator and select duplicate.
