The 8th International Conference on High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA Steels 2022) — Advanced Steels & Processing Technologies will be held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China on November 9-11, 2022. The quinquennial HSLA Steels conference series has been successfully organized by The Chinese Society for Metals in Beijing (1985, 1990, 1995, 2011), Xi’an (2000), Sanya (2005) and Hangzhou (2015) since 1985 and grown into the leading platform for scientific and technological exchange in HSLA steels.

During the past five years, increasing demand from the automotive and the structural engineering sectors, which are the chief consumers of the product in the HSLA steels, as well as oil & gas and other industrial sectors has boosted the rapid growth of the market for HSLA steels. Steel manufacturers are constantly seeking the possibility of increasing strength and improving the fabrication and service performances at a lower cost. HSLA Steels 2022 will focus on the latest scientific and technological progress on advanced steels and metallurgical processing over the past decades.  

Due to the present situation of COVID-19, the format of presentation for HSLA Steels 2022 will be mainly on-site communication combined with on-line presentation (by VCR) from the overseas speakers who are not possible for international travel in the period of HSLA Steels 2022.
