This is the annual World Series for Metalworking Fluid technology exchange. It is the place to be to get educated. It looks like this one will be big, as exhibition space sold out very early. From the basics to the latest scientific topics, you can learn it at the STLE Annual Meeting. You will have two formal educational options to choose from. On Sunday, May 5th, you can attend Metalworking 105: Metal Forming Fluids.
