The 9th International Conference on High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA Steels 2025) will be held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China in November 2-4, 2025. The quinquennial HSLA Steels conference series has been successfully organized by The Chinese Society for Metals in Beijing (1985, 1990, 1995, 2011), Xi’an (2000), Sanya (2005), Hangzhou (2015) and Beijing (2022) since 1985 and grown into the leading platform for scientific and technological exchange in HSLA steels.

During the past years, increasing demand from the automotive and the structural engineering sectors, which are the chief consumers of the product in the HSLA steels, as well as oil & gas and other industrial sectors has boosted the rapid growth of the market for HSLA steels. Steel manufacturers are constantly seeking the possibility of increasing strength and improving the fabrication and service performances at a lower cost. HSLA Steels 2025 will focus on the latest scientific and technological progress on advanced steels and metallurgical processing over the past decades.  

We kindly invite you to participate in this meaningful conference and are looking forward to meeting you in Nanjing, which has been more than 2,400 years and is one of the four ancient capitals of Ming dynasty.
