ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES • MARCH 2014 39
ASM Heat Treating Society and International Fed-
eration for Heat Treating and Surface Engineering
(IFHTSE) are co-sponsoring the 5th International
Conference on Thermal Process Modeling and
Computer Simulation (ICTPCS), which is colocated
with the AeroMat 2014 Conference at the Gaylord
Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
ICTPCS was originated by IFTHSE.
The ICTPCS technical program consists of 64 pre-
sentations covering the broad field of thermal
process modeling. Several papers deal strictly with
computational issues of efficiency, accuracy, and
solver methods. The majority of presentations in-
volve modeling applications of various processes
including:
• Surface treatments such as carburizing, nitriding,
thermal spraying, and cladding
• Immersion quenching processes in liquids that
boil
• Gas quenching
• Phase transformations during heating and cooling
• Induction hardening and spray quenching
• Controlled cooling of castings and forgings
• Welding
Conference presenters comprise a distinguished mix
of U.S. and international experts from academia and
industry.
Keynote presentations include:
• Immersion quenching with transient boiling
Dr. Sabine Denis of Université de Lorraine,
Nancy, France
• Distortion, stresses, and defects in solidifying
castings
Prof. Christoph Beckermann of the University of
Iowa, Iowa City
• Modeling of additive manufacturing processes
Dr. Howard Kuhn of the University of
Pittsburgh
Registrants to ICTPCS will have complete
access to AeroMat technical sessions and the
exposition.
