Spotlight on Members
IFHTSE is a federation of organizations, not individuals. There are three groups of members: scientific or technical societies and associations, universities and registered research institutes, and companies.
This month we highlight the India (Mumbai) Chapter of ASM.
Established in 1979 by Dr. H.M. Mehta with a handful of dedicated volunteers, it has been continuously pursuing the mission of ASM of collecting and disseminating knowledge on materials and processes. This is being done through technical courses on subjects such as metallurgy for the non-metallurgists, failure analysis, metal forming, heat treatment, welding, non-ferrous metals, thermal spraying, and more. The Exhibition Heat Treat Show began in 1990 and has become a trademark of the chapter. The show is held biannually and is well attended by Indian industry and international exhibitors and authors. Other activities include arranging conferences, workshops, and exhibitions on recent developments in material processing, material application engineering, equipment, and more.
The next event is the 4th MET-2021, International Conference on Materials, Engineering and Technology, September 29–October 1, 2021, at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai, India.
Upcoming Events
HEAT TREAT 2021, sponsored by the Heat-Treating Society of ASM.
This event will be in St. Louis, Missouri, September 14-16. This event will be held jointly with IMAT and The Thermal Spray Society. This year’s conference and expo will feature:
Latest research and industry insights offered during more than 100 technical presentations.
Continued co-location with Motion + Power Technology Expo 2021 with access to additional exhibitors, in the co-located exhibit hall.
Student/emerging professionals’ initiatives, including free college student registration, Fluxtrol Student Research Competition, and the new ASM Heat Treating Society Strong Bar Student Competition.
Members in the News
Sören Segerberg (1943-2021)
It is with much regret to announce the passing of Sören Segerberg. He received his M.Sc in Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and was an ASM Fellow. His citation for ASM fellow read “for sustainable development of quenching technology and leadership in the global heat-treating industry, including research leading to the understanding of quenching principles and for the development of testing equipment for gas and liquid quenchant characterization.” He is the author of many papers on measuring and monitoring quenchant performance. He had been retired from IVF (now RISE) for more than 10 years. He was a true mentor and teacher.
Segerberg and his company, HEATTEC Värmebehandling AB, manufactured the ivf SmartQuench test probes and furnaces for RISE. His work will be carried on by his son, Peter Segerberg.
