The AWMFT aims to provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas on new applications for nano/micro forming as well as new technology developments. We assure that you will find your participation a rewarding experience for broadening your academic knowledge and for serving your personal needs. Several awards are planned for Young Scientists and Graduate students. 

Areas of special interest for discussion include:

• Micro/nano forming processing and application

• Micro/nano scale effect

• Micro/nano forming equipment and simulation

• Measuring and controlling of micro/nano forming

• Preparation, formability, and properties of micro/nano materials 

• Nanocrystallization and Nanomechanics

Also for the case of APSTP, areas of special interest for discussion include:

• Processes Forging, Drawing, Roll Forming, Joining by Forming, Rolling, Stamping, Incremental Forming, Rapid prototyping, Extrusion, Hydroforming, Micro Forming, New Processes 

• Technology Green Manufacturing, Economy and Ecology Machines, Tools and Dies, 

• Tribology Lubricant, Wear Behaviors, Surface Treatments and Coating 

• Material Ultra High Strength Steels, Shape Memory Alloys, Lightweight Metals, Biomaterials Material Testing, Material Characterization, Formability, Damage, and Failure Analysis
