ASM Ontario Networking and Speaker Night
November 30, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
| THIS WEDNESDAY: Networking Opportunity for MSE Students at a Discounted Student Price!
Come learn about improving sustainability in the high temperature processing of abrasives and refractories with Washington Mills’ Furnace Processing Manager, Grant Clare (B. Eng. Society in Materials Engineering 2010, McMaster University). He will be drawing upon examples from his own work in managing plant processes.
This is a great opportunity to network with industry professionals in a variety of areas in Materials Engineering. Past U of T alumni have obtained job interviews and employment by networking at ASM events.
Had trouble commuting to our previous events? For the first time, we are hosting ASM Night in walking distance of a GO Station, making it easy to attend as a U of T student!
Please register online for the Dinner & Talk Event by November 29, 2022.

| Improving Sustainability in High
Temperature Processing |
|
|
There is a consistent disconnect between the current trajectory of CO2 emissions and what climate science largely agrees is required to limit the severest effects of climate change. The lack of change can make one feel despair. High temperature processes are energy intensive and can have a significant carbon footprint but can also play a substantial role in CO2 reduction. This talk aims to describe examples of current challenges in high temperature processes and CO2 reduction initiatives that have been implemented at Washington Mills.
