en.Wedoany.com Reported - From June 16 to 18, 2026, the 12th International Conference on Magnetism and Metallurgy (WMM’26) will be held at Shougang Park in Beijing. Co-organized by the Chinese Society for Metals and RINA, with Shougang Group as the co-organizer, this marks the first time the conference has been held in China since its inception in 2004, as a biennial academic series in the field of electrical steel and amorphous soft magnetic materials. After over two years of preparation, the organizing committee has received more than 50 papers from experts and scholars across 12 countries. At that time, renowned scholars and technical experts from major enterprises in Europe, Asia, and the Americas will gather in Beijing to exchange ideas on cutting-edge advancements, preparation processes, microstructure optimization, electric vehicle applications, and new amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic materials, discussing hot topics and future directions in the field of soft magnetic materials.
Since its establishment in 2004, the International Conference on Magnetism and Metallurgy (WMM) has been held biennially, holding authority and influence in the international electrical steel and soft magnetic materials field. This edition is jointly organized by the Chinese Society for Metals (CSM, founded in 1956, with 93,000 individual members and 222 corporate members) and RINA (founded in Genoa in 1861, one of the oldest classification societies globally, operating in 70 countries). The conference is supported by multiple organizations, including EuroGroup Laminations (EGLA), LTC Group, Wuxi Putian Iron Core Co., Ltd., Primetals Technologies, Tenova, Coiltech, Beijing Society for Metals, UK Magnetics Society, and the Iron Core Application Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.
The conference will feature invited plenary talks, technical committee reports, and parallel session exchanges. Invited speakers include representatives from RINA, Shougang Group, ArcelorMittal (Belgium), Nippon Steel (Japan), ThyssenKrupp (Germany), China's Baowu Steel Group, and the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The technical discussion scope covers cutting-edge directions such as preparation technologies for electrical steel and amorphous soft magnetic materials, equipment advancements, modeling methods, magnetic performance optimization, additive manufacturing, material matching for electric vehicles, and smart grid applications. The working language of the conference is English, and accepted full papers in English will be included in the proceedings officially published by RINA.
Electrical steel, also known as silicon steel sheet, is an indispensable soft magnetic alloy in the power, electronics, and military industries, and is the largest-volume metal functional material, primarily used as the core for motors, generators, and transformers. Amorphous materials are a new type of soft magnetic alloy with a disordered atomic structure, offering lower hysteresis loss and higher magnetic permeability, suitable for high-efficiency and energy-saving power equipment. This conference provides a cross-border academic exchange platform for technical personnel in the global electrical steel and soft magnetic materials field, facilitating technological mutual learning and knowledge sharing in metallurgical materials. The conference will also feature exhibition and poster display areas for relevant enterprises to showcase their latest products and technological achievements.
