Submission declined on 19 February 2026 by JSFarman (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted. If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

The International Conference on Advances in Solidification Processes (ICASP) is an academic conference series started in 2005 based on the initiative of Prof. Hasse Fredriksson from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. It covers all aspects of research and applications related to solidification, for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to exchange on recent advances and to discuss outstanding challenges in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to

• Casting, welding, additive manufacturing, remelting processes, ...
• Microstructure formation & evolution in solidification processes
• Thermodynamics & kinetics of solidification & phase transformations
• Dendritic, eutectic, peritectic, monotectic growth, ...
• Nucleation and grain refinement
• Heat & mass transfer (fluid flow, solute transport, ...)
• Thermomechanics (stresses, deformations, ...)
• Defects (hot tearing, shrinkage, porosity, segregation, ...)
• Experimental & characterization methods (e.g. in situ, operando)
• Theory, modeling and simulation methods across scales
• Thermophysical properties measurements & calculations
• Physics, chemistry, thermodynamics & kinetics of interfaces
• Rapid solidification and non-equilibrium effects
• Liquid metal processing: dealloying, melting, ...

The conference series is organized by one or two chairs and supported by an International Scientific Committee, which consists of experts in the field from several countries. At the conference meeting, the committee selects the next chair and new members.

• 2005 Stockholm, Sweden, chaired by Prof. H. Fredriksson, KTH Stockholm, Sweden
• 2008 Graz/Seggauberg, Austria, chaired by Prof. A. Ludwig & Prof. P. Schumacher, Montanuniversitaet Leoben, Austria
• 2011 Aachen/Kerkrade, Germany/Netherlands, chaired by G. Zimmermann, RWTH Aachen University (Access), Germany and Prof. L. Ratke, German Aerospace Center, Cologne, Germany^[1]
• 2014 Old Windsor, UK, chaired by Prof. Z. Fan, Brunel University, UK^[2]
• 2019 Salzburg, Austria, chaired by Prof. M. Wu, Montanuniversitaet Leoben, Austria and Prof. C.A. Gandin, MINES Paris CEMEF, France^[3]
• 2022 Le Blechenberg/Strasbourg, France, chaired by Prof. M. Založnik and Prof. J. Zollinger, University of Lorraine, France^[4]
• 2025 Madrid, Spain, chaired by Prof. D. Tourret, IMDEA Materials,^[5] Madrid, Spain

ICASP 8 will be held in 2028 in Bled, Slovenia, chaired by Prof. B. Sarler, University Ljubljana, Slovenia.
