Abstract

The 6th International Scientific Conference: NEWTECH 2020 – Advanced Manufacturing
Engineering and Technologies was organized by Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, Romania. It
was held between 9th -11th of September 2020 in Galati, Romania and was supported by the The
Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation
(UEFISCDI).
The situation with COVID-19 imposed restrictions on holding mass events and travelling. The health
of the participants is key and so, the organizing committee, encouraged by the eagerness of the
participants to share their scientific work despite the circumstances, decided to hold the conference
online.
The 6th International Scientific Conference: NEWTECH 2020 – Advanced Manufacturing
Engineering and Technologies provides a forum where recent advances and future directions in the
manufacturing processes and forming are discussed by scientists and engineers from academia and
industry worldwide. The topics covered are of great interest for academics and for professionals
(engineers and researchers) from industry involved in traditional and novel forming and
manufacturing technologies for conventional and emerging materials.
The 6th International Scientific Conference: NEWTECH 2020 – Advanced Manufacturing
Engineering and Technologies takes place in the year in which the Manufacturing Engineering
Department from Faculty of Engineering, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, Romania, celebrates
60 years of existence.
A total of 40 oral presentations from 10 worldwide countries, Algeria, Cech Republic, France,
Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Romania, Russia, and United States of America are registered
including:
• 10 plenary lectures given by renowned experts from academia;
• 30 oral presentations organized in 4 general sessions.
The 30 oral presentations are composed of 30 peer-reviewed full papers (between 6 and 14 pages
each one).
All the papers have been reviewed by two expert referees in their relevant fields. The papers selected
for the volume depended on their quality and relevancy to the conference.
The peer-reviewed full papers and a part of the plenary lectures will be published after the conference, in
the open access proceedings by IOP’s Conference Series journals, IOP Conference Series: Materials
Science and Engineering (https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1757-899X).
