This book highlights the International Peirce-Smith Converting Centennial Symposium held during the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition, February 15-19, 2009, in San Francisco, California. It presents a number of topics in copper and nickel converting and includes subjects from all four sessions from the symposium: historical foundations and refractory practices; operational aspects; injection techniques, process modeling and control; and new converting technologies.
