Structure and Structure Evolution in Fe-based Meteorites
Delft, The Netherlands

Fe-based Meteorites' presents a capita selecta of current issues in iron
meteorite research with relevance to the materials science and
engineering community.

24 april 2006 | 10:00 uur - 17:00 uur
plaats: "Faculty Room" ,Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials
Engineering,

The first man-made iron objects were probably fabricated with meteoritic
iron long before man was successful in winning iron from its mineral
oxides. Nowadays the metallurgical science community still has an active
interest in iron meteorites because they exhibit structures which were
produced by the very specific thermal history during eons of slow
cooling before impact on the earth's crust.
