Aviation materials are like building materials, it is the cornerstone of the aeronautical building, in order to meet the design requirements of high weight loss and long service life for a new generation of Chinese domestic aircraft, to provide timely and reliable technical support for the engineering and model material application, the key materials must realize domestically made and realize independent innovation.

Under this background, the ‘6^th Annual China Aeronautical Materials and Process Summit’ (CAMPS 2018)' will be held in the city of Chengdu on September 12^th - 13^th, 2018.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we sincerely invite you to participate in this Summit. Jointly promote the development of China's aeronautical materials industry.
