ISSI-2 is a quadrennial international conference on the research, development and application of intermetallic compounds, alloys and composites for high-temperature structural applications. The format and approach of this conference builds on the proven concepts of the International Symposia on Superalloys, the Gordon Conferences, and the first ISSI, which was held in 1993. As such, the arrangement of the ISSI-2 is distinctive in comparison to traditional conferences. In particular,
