During the week of February 11–15, 2001, at the 130th
Annual Meeting & Exhibition of The Minerals,
Metals & Materials Society (TMS), you can join more than 4,000 science
and engineering professionals, representing more than 70 different countries,
who will come together for the opportunity to add to their own store of knowledge
by capitalizing on the expertise and experience of their colleagues. More than
200 sessions and 1,000 individual presentations are scheduled. Whether your
technical interests lie in precious metal extraction, aluminum processing, high-temperature
superconductors, or just about any other materials field or metallurgical discipline,
you will find programming that addresses your most pressing needs.
The 2001 TMS Annual Meeting
& Exhibition will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Hilton
New Orleans Riverside Hotel will be the headquarters hotel for the event.
All conference events, including registration, technical sessions, and the exhibition
will take place at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Presented by: Patrick R. Taylor,
University of Tennessee; Funsho Ojebuoboh, Asarco; Corby G. Anderson, Montana
Tech
Date: Monday, February 12, 2001
Time: 12:00 noon-1:30 PM
Location: Melrose, Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel
Cost: $15
Extractive Metallurgy as a discipline is explained from a Professor’s, Consultant’s
and Manager’s point of view. Dr. Funsho Ojebbuoboh is Manager of Technical and
Business Development with Asarco’ Globe Plant Specialty Metals. Dr. Corby Anderson
is Principal Process Engineer with the Center for Advanced Mineral and Metallurgical
Processing at Montana Tech and Dr. Patrick Taylor is Professor & Head of Materials
Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee.
Extractive Metallurgy may be defined as the physical and chemical principals
of metals recovery and refining. Typically the field is divided into three parts:
pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and electrometallurgy. Many of the unit operations
are utilized in materials synthesis and the fundamental principles are applicable
to materials processing by chemical reactions.

Presented by: Svein Richard Brandtzaeg, Hydro Magnesium Marketing
Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2001
Time: 12:00 noon-2:00 PM
Location: Grand Ballroom A, Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel
About the topic: The global Magnesium market
is small compared to Aluminium, but growing at 2-3 times higher rate. Magnesium
together with Aluminium are competing with plastics and still in highly demanding
segments. Magnesium and Aluminium are in some areas complimentary, and as an
alloying element Magnesium is improving the properties of Aluminium, but the
inherent properties of these light metals are also exposed to direct competition.
The industrial structure and production technologies are very different and
are influencing the competitiveness of the metals.
About the Presenter: Dr. Brandtzaeg earned his Master of Science degree
in 1981 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. He went
on to receive degrees as Economist. He was PhD student for Professor Harald
Oye at Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Norwegian University of Science and
Technology and awarded his PhD in 1985. He finished his education with a Post.
Doc. Fellowship for Professor Barry Welch at Department of Chemical and Materials
Engineering, University of Auckland, in 1987-1988. He is currently the President
of Norsk Hydro’s Magnesium Division. Former positions at Hydro Aluminium included
Vice-President Casthouses, Casthouse and Marketing Manager, Technical Manager,
HR Training and Education Manager and Cathode Workshop Manager.

Presented by: Theo Lehner, Boliden Mineral
Date: Tuesday, February 13, 2001
Time: 12:00 noon -2:00 PM
Location: Grand Ballroom A, Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel
About the topic: The
business of smelting is experiencing both new and old challenges: cutting costs
and emmissions exemplify old ones, defending our products and recycling of post-consumer
wastes are new ones. Recent European experience will be shared.
About the Presenter: Theo Lehner earned his dipl. ing. of metal-lurgy
degree in 1972 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH, Zurich. He
went on to work with injection metallurgy at MEFOS (1973), the Metallurgical
Pilot Plant at Lulea, Sweden. From steel research he continued to stainless
steel production at Avesta Stainless (1980) and moved on to extraction of base
metals at Boliden Minerals AB (1982). The fascinating world of pyrometallurgy
and the challenges caused by it have kept him busy since. Recent challenges
include objetcs such as consequences of producer responsibility acts, sustainability
discussions, benchmarkings and attacks on metals. He is currently the Metallurgical
Supervisor at the Raw Materials Department of Boliden’s Rönnskär smelter.

On the occasion of his 70th birthday, a symposium dedicated to Dr. Larry Kaufman
is being organized. Dr. Kaufman has pioneered the fields of calculation of phase
diagrams (CALPHAD), which is a key component in today’s computational materials
design. Topics to be covered in the symposium include, but will not be limited
to, the following: lattice stability, computational thermodynamics, calculation
of phase diagrams, computational kinetics, materials design, and industrial
applications. The symposium will consist of a keynote talk by Dr. Larry Kaufman
and oral presentations.
Sponsored by: TMS SMD Division and ASM-MSCTS
This conference will include papers on the chemistry and electrochemistry of
corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. A wide range of topics in stress corrosion
cracking including chemistry differences between crack initiation and propagation
will be presented.
