IFHTSE SHOW PREVIEW
P
lan now to attend the 23rd iteration of the IFHTSE
Congress, an exciting global event focused on thermal
processing, heat treating, and surface engineering or-
ganized by the ASM Heat Treating Society and the Interna-
tional Federation of Heat Treatment and Surface Engineer-
ing (IFHTSE). The event takes place this April in Savannah,
Georgia, and is expected to draw attendees and exhibitors
alike for record attendance.
The technical program is now live and registration is
open to the public. Registration includes access to the three-
day technical program, daily lunch and refreshment breaks,
an exhibitors welcome reception on Monday, a reception/
dinner on Wednesday, dedicated networking time with ex-
hibitors, and access to online conference proceedings. An
optional riverboat cruise takes place Tuesday evening.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Keynote Presentations, Tuesday, April 19
Very Short and Very Long Heat-Treatments
in the Processing of Steel
9:00 a.m.
Presented by Prof. H.K.D.H.
Bhadeshia, Dept. of Materials
Science and Metallurgy,
University of Cambridge
Harry Bhadeshia is the TATA
Steel Professor of Metallurgy at the
University of Cambridge. His research
is concerned with the theory of sol-
id-state transformations in metals,
particularly multicomponent steels, with the goal of cre-
ating novel alloys and processes with the minimum use of
resources.
Alloying Element Nitride Development in Ferritic
Fe-based Materials upon Nitriding
10:00 a.m.
Presented by Mr. Tobias Steiner
Tobias Steiner is a materials
expert for stainless steels at Rob-
ert Bosch GmbH in the department
GS/ECC-FA. His research is mainly
focused on the nitriding behavior of
ternary Fe-Cr-Mo alloys and the evo-
lution of the XRD peak shape upon
nitriding of ferritic alloys.
Surface Treatment by Electron Beam in Combination
with Other Heat Treatment Technologies
11:00 a.m.
Presented by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Rolf
Zenker, Zenker Consult Mittweida
Rolf Zenker is Honorary Profes-
sor at TU Bergakademie Freiberg and
Managing Director of Zenker-Consult
Mittweida.
Residual Stress Symposium
This special symposium will provide an overview of
the current state of the art for residual stress prediction,
measurement, and control in industry. Presentations will be
given by major aerospace OEMs and experts in the field of
residual stress modeling andmeasurement.
Technical Program
Technical program topics include vacuum processes
and technology, advanced thermal processing, ferrous and
non-ferrous mechanical properties, materials characteri-
zation, quenching and quenchants, nitriding, and tribology
and wear of engineered surfaces.
