Secondary refining and inclusion controlling, closely related to steel quality, are important topics in steelmaking. Metallurgists from all over the world have conducted numerous research works and obtained fruitful achievements in this domain. In order to promote academic communication in the relevant fields, the biennial Chinese Conference on Secondary Refining, Steel Quality, and Non-metallic Inclusion Controlling has been held under the support of Chinese Society of Metals (CSM) and joint organization of the University of Science and Technology Beijing, Bao Steel, Beijing Society of Metals, Zhejiang Society of Metals, and Steelmaking Branch of CSM. In recent years, the national conference has developed to be a landmark event for Chinese metallurgists from universities, institutes, and companies to share the state-of-the-art technologies and developments related to the specific requirements of secondary refining, steel quality, and non-metallic inclusion controlling.

    Faced with high-speed development of global science and technology, especially the rapid progress of intelligence and low-carbon metallurgical technologies, the conference committee decided to upgrade the national conference into an international event, aiming to build a bridge of international communication in the relevant fields and encourage metallurgists from all over the world to work together for the progress of metallurgical technologies.

    The “First International Conference on Secondary Refining and Inclusion Controlling” is planned to be held at the end of August 23-25, 2023 in China (The specific place to be determined). The official language of the conference will be Chinese and English. The deadline of article submission is July 31, 2023.
