Subject: International Conference on the Microscopy of Oxidation

Details of the 4th International Conference on the Microscopy of
Oxidation.
20 - 22nd September 1999 Trinity Hall, Cambridge, UK

############################################################################

A three day international conference on the Microscopy of Oxidation
adopting the same format as the previous, highly successful meetings in
this series held in Cambridge in 1990, 1993 and 1996.

CONFERENCE
----------
Commencing on Monday morning, the programme will consist of invited
papers from leading experts in the field and contributed papers in
plenary
sessions. Of equal importance, posters will be on display throughout the
conference, with a poster session on Tuesday afternoon. There will be a
cocktail reception on Monday evening and a Conference Dinner on
Tuesday evening.

SCOPE
-----
The direct observation and analysis of oxides together with the factors
which influence oxidation reactions will form the heart of this
conference.
Materials of interest will include intermetallics and composites as well
as
metals and ceramics in both monolithic and coated forms. Microscopy will
be interpreted in its widest sense to include surface imaging and
analytical
techniques as well as light and electron microscopy. Hence SIMS, XPS
Auger and EDX analysis will all be considered along with STM and AFM
observations. However the conference will be focused on the discussion
of
oxidation phenomena, using the results of microscopy, rather than on the
techniques themselves, although the potential impact of new techniques
in
this field will also be reviewed. It is planned to have sessions on the
following topics:-

       The use of STM/AFM in oxidation studies
       Degradation mechanisms of protective overlay coatings
       Oxidation mechanisms in mixed atmospheres
       Growth stresses and failure mechanisms in protective oxide scales

PUBLICATION
-----------

An abstract book will be circulated to delegates at the conference. It
is
intended to produce a conference book directly after the meeting.

VENUE
-----

Trinity Hall was founded in 1350 and is one of the oldest colleges in
Cambridge. Both technical and poster sessions will take place in the
college, where delegates will be accommodated in single study bedrooms.
Hotel accommodation is also available nearby.
