The coarse- and fine-grain specimens exhibited a grain size of approximately 20 and 8 μm, respectively. The effects of grain size and strain rate on the low-temperature tensile properties of ferrite-austenite duplex stainless steel were investigated. Contributed papers covered a wide range of topics including many aspects and advances in cryogenics and superconductors, along with their applications.įull Preface information is available in the pdf. In addition to the Joint Session Hydrogen Technologies for Transportation with 4 Sessions and 9 talks, an extra Focus Session on Transportation was held again this year consisting of 6 Sessions and 35 talks. And this included 4 topics new to the conference: i) Topological Materials for Electronics, ii) 3D Printing Materials, iii) Mechanical Properties of HTS Wires and Cables, and iv) LTS and HTS Cables for Fusion. Twelve additional curated Focus Sessions were included in the programming, emphasizing high-quality invited talks. The attendees also convened for three special Joint CEC-ICMC Symposia organized: i) Hydrogen Technologies for Transportation, ii) Superconducting Quantum Systems, and iii) SRF Materials and Systems. Virtual attendance for each of the plenary talks was excellent from ∼ 140 to 280.

Four plenary talks gave interesting in-depth updates and overviews on exciting topics with titles: i) "The Promise of Superconducting Quantum Information Processing", ii) "The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE)", iii) Airbus SAS talk, "ASCEND - A First Step Towards Cryogenic Electric Propulsion for Aircraft?", and iv)) "ITER Cryogenic Systems - Scale, Complexity, and Innovation". The program for the joint conferences included a total of 429 presentations organized into 69 sessions - plenary, oral, poster and awards. In total, 224 papers were submitted for publication of which 215 are published in these conference proceedings. As at past conferences, the international scope of these meetings was strongly maintained with 23 countries being represented by 641 attendees who gathered virtually to enjoy the joint technical programs and industrial exhibits. The 2021 Joint Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) and International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) events were held from July 19 through July 23 virtually, using the Whova platform.
