The 7th National Youth Conference on Surface Engineering was held in Wuhan from April 27 to April 30. More than 380 researchers, post graduates candidates and engineers engaging in surface engineering area have attended the conference.
During the conference, 3 plenary lectures and 11 invited lectures were made. And 4 parallel sessions were organized on the following topics, surface engineering techniques for thin films and coatings, surface engineering in tribology, functional surface engineering techniques and their application, advanced techniques for tribological materials used in automobiles and motor bikes.
Surface engineering is an applied subject aiming at energy saving, green application and sustainable development. It involves various areas in national economics and has made great contribution to resource, energy and environment fields in China.
The conference has provided a platform for the researchers in surface engineering China to communicate and cooperate with each other. It is hoped that the holding of the conference can promote the innovation and development of surface engineering.
The conference was hosted by the youth committee of the Surface Engineering Institution of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, organized by the State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication of the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Research and Development Center of Surface Functional Material and Engineering of the Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology of the CAS, College of Material Science and Engineering of the Chongqing University of Technology, Material Corrosion and Protection Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province of the Sichuan University of Science and Technology.
