15th International Scientific Conference 

Structural materials 2025

Bratislava, November 11, 2025

The Conference SM-2025 follows up on previous biennial conferences organized by the Slovak Metal Science Society, which took place in Bratislava, Košice, Trnava, and Žilina since 1997. The main goal is the exchange of the latest knowledge, especially in the field of structural engineering materials. The conference also aims to create conditions for deepening existing and establishing new personal and professional contacts. The conference is focused on the following areas:

  • structural materials (steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metal alloys, ceramics, polymers, composites, powder metallurgy) – structure, properties, applications;
  • modification of metallic material properties (thermal and thermochemical treatment, surface treatment, coating, etc.);
  • structural analysis, mechanical and physical properties;
  • production, recycling, sustainability, industrial applications, etc.
