The Fifth International Symposium on Superalloys
718, 625, 706, and Derivatives, sponsored by The
Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), will be held June 17-20,
2001, at the Embassy Suites Hotel, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This is the premier symposium devoted exclusively to superalloys
718, 625, and 706. It follows in the tradition of the four previous meetings
which were very successful in exploring the state of knowledge on these most
important superalloys. The corresponding proceedings volumes are acknowledged
as the single-source reference on the progress and problems from 1989 to 1997,
and it is expected that this millennial meeting will continue the tradition.

Situated between wooded hillsides at the point where the Allegheny and Monongahela
Rivers converge to form the Ohio River, Pittsburgh is one of America’s most
scenic cities. With average daily high temperatures of 80 degrees, June is a
very pleasant time to visit Pittsburgh.
While in Pittsburgh, you will want to take an incline ride up Mt. Washington,
but inclines are not the only mode of travel in or to the city. Pittsburgh is
a very accessible city. The convenient subway, light rail, and bus systems enable
any destination within the city to be about a half-hour ride. Easy entrance
to a network of interstate highways (East-West: I-70, I-76, I-80, I-376; North
South: I-79, I-579, I-279) puts Pittsburgh within a day’s drive of most Eastern
US cities, and the Pittsburgh International Airport has made the city conveniently
accessible from anywhere in the world.
Pittsburgh is a city blessed with a rich history, as well as culturally rich
and diverse communities. From these traditions, the city has a wide offering
of attractions ranging from art museums to zoos. Attendees can easily take advantage
of the many entertainment, cultural, and dining opportunities the city has to
offer. The “Strip District” is a smorgasbord of dining and entertainment option.
The Carnegie Science Center has been called “The Amusement Park for the Mind”.
The city is rich in cultural activities and is home to hundreds of performing
arts groups. And don’t forget Pittsburgh sports, with major league championship
teams like Pirates baseball, there is always a big game in town.
