Electromagnetic Processing of Materials EPM2021
June 2021, Riga, Latvia
PREFACE
Electromagnetic Processing of Materials (EPM) is a branch of research concerned with studying the possibilities aimed at improving different physical and materials science processes by applying electric or magnetic fields. This covers such traditional fields as liquid metal processing, metal casting and solidification under electromagnetic fields, induction heating and hardening. EPM also involves mining and purification methods, crystal growth from the melt, plasma processing, microwave processing and recycling methods.
The series of EPM conferences was initiated in 1994 by collaborating groups from Japan and France. Since then, a conference is held every three years (Nagoya 1994, Paris 1997, Nagoya 2000, Lyon 2003, Sendai 2006, Dresden 2009, Beijing 2012, Cannes 2015, Hyogo 2018, Riga 2021). The next conference is scheduled to take place in 2024 in Shanghai. The conference is open for any kind of materials processing involving electric or magnetic fields. It intends to bring together people from academic institutions, industry, and related equipment manufacturers. The 10th conference was a challenge due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, we decided to hold the conference online. The conference was attended by more than 100 participants from 13 countries and more than 50 scientific reports were presented.
The EPM2021 conference was supported and organised by the Institute of Physics (University of Latvia) and the Department of Physics (University of Latvia). The publication of the special issue of the Magnetohydrodynamics Journal was supported by ERDF project no. 1.1.1.5/18/I/016 ``University of Latvia and Institutes in the European Research Area -- Excellency, Activity, Mobility, Capacity''.
