ABRASION 2027 - Conference on Abrasion Wear Resistant Cast Iron And Forged Steel For Rolling and Pulverizing Mills

The goal of the ABRASION conference is to bring together experts from industry and academia working in the field of rolling cylinders and pulverizing mills, fostering a stimulating exchange of technical and scientific expertise.
Held every three years, the event attracts delegates from around the world and represents an important opportunity to share the latest advances in the materials and technologies used in these strategic industrial sectors, as well as to discuss prospects and challenges.
Researchers, manufacturers, and users of wear-resistant materials are invited to submit technical and scientific papers and to actively participate in a conference that, since its very first edition, has been distinguished by the high quality of its content, broad international participation, and an open and collaborative atmosphere that fosters the exchange of ideas and the formation of new collaborations.
