ASM HEAT TREATING SOCIETY CONFERENCE AND EXPOSITION
The ASM Heat Treating Society (HTS) and the American
Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) once again are co-
locating to create an exciting mix of education, technology,
networking, and exposition opportunities—all at the 28th
Heat Treating Conference and Exposition and Gear Expo.
The event is recognized by industry, academia, and govern-
ment professionals as the premier heat treating gathering in
North America. It will offer a full technical program covering
a broad scope of heat treating technology, networking op-
portunities, and a firsthand look at equipment, supplies, and
services from exhibitors.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
There’s a lot to look forward to at the 28th ASM Heat
Treating Society Conference and Exposition. The event will
serve as a great place to foster improved communication be-
tween industry, government, universities, and research insti-
tutes. The conference program addresses challenges the in-
dustry faces today and in the future, and provides additional
value to existing and potential HTS members.
Technical programming includes presentations by
more than 120 authors on the topics of advancements in
heat treating, atmosphere technologies and process con-
trol, vacuum processes and technology, emerging technolo-
gies, quenching and cooling, surface engineering, and many
more. Special sessions include “New Directions and Oppor-
tunities in Heat Treating” and a joint education short course
with AGMA on “Heat Treatment of Gears.” The Master Series
is also returning by popular demand.
Professor Alan Taub, chief technical officer for LIFT
(Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow), an industry-led,
government funded consortium, will give a special keynote
presentation. In his role as chief technical officer, Taub con-
ducts research in advancedmaterials and processing.
Registration will open in late June. Visit the HTS web-
site for details on the technical program and registration at

This year, the 2015 Heat Treat Mini Materials Camp will
be held in Detroit. Since 2011, the Heat Treat Society has
partnered with the ASMMaterials Education Foundation
supporting a Mini Materials Camp during their annual
event. When asked about the significance of supporting
outreach for young people, officers say, “They are the
future of the Heat Treating Society and outreach is an
important part of the HTS mission. By partnering with
the ASMMaterials Education Foundation to deliver a
Materials Camp with a focus on heat treatment, we are
bucking the trend and demonstrating to youth that
HEAT Treating can be COOL!”
