FEATURE ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | SEPTEMBER 2024 56 RESOURCES FOR HEAT TREATING RESEARCH The Heat Treating Society R&D Committee, under the direction of Michael Pershing, Caterpillar, has compiled a list of organizations conducting research related to heat treating. Each listing includes contact information and selected projects. This set of resources is ever changing and by no means all encompassing. To add an organization to the list, contact vicki.burt@asminternational.org.
