Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Now 2021 has come to its end, it is time for a look back on the past two years, which were my time as IFHTSE president. Although they were heavily impacted by the Corona pandemic, it has been a pleasure to see in this second year 2021 that some conferences have still been able to take place thanks to digital solutions. Others had to be re-planned and moved forward in time.
Despite the new possibilities provided by the digital format, my hope is that 2022 will be the year when we all can travel and meet in person again. Please have a look at the program for forthcoming conferences. We have a lot to look forward to.
I thank all IFHTSE officials and friends for their support during my presidency and wish the next IFHTSE President, Prof. Masahiro Okumiya, a successful work in a more prosperous environment.
Yours sincerely,
Eva Troell
President of IFHTSE (2020–2021)
Upcoming events
ICRS 11 – 11th International Conference on Residual Stresses
March 27–30 | Nancy, France
The 11th International Conference on Residual Stresses is intended as a continuation of the successful series initiated in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany, 1986) and continued in Nancy (France, 1988), Tokushima (Japan, 1991), Baltimore, Maryland (U.S., 1994), Linkoping (Sweden, 1997), Oxford (U.K., 2000), Xi’an (China, 2004), Denver, Colorado (U.S., 2008), Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany, 2012), and Sydney (Australia, 2016).
The conference provides a key forum for scientists, students, and engineers interested in the prediction, evaluation, control, and application of residual stresses. Equal emphasis is given to the measurement, modeling, and utilization of residual stress/strain data.

Poster Awards to be given at 27th IFHTSE Congress, Salzburg
An excellent opportunity for authors of posters to have their work acknowledged: Poster Awards will be given at the 27th IFHTSE Congress September 5-8, 2022, in Salzburg, Austria. These Poster Awards are sponsored by Burgdorf KG in Stuttgart, Germany and Fluxtrol, Inc., in Auburn Hills, Michigan, U.S.
These awards are open to authors of all ages. Posters are a valued communication form of their own and equally important as oral presentations.
Burgdorf (www.bongroup.de/en) is a manufacturer of products for steel hardening and quenching processes, and Fluxtrol (fluxtrol.com) provides induction heating solutions using proprietary magnetic materials, scientific knowledge, and engineering experience. Fluxtrol has been an IFHTSE member since 2018.
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.
In this segment, we will highlight our members.
Chinese Heat Treatment Society
The Chinese Heat Treatment Society was established October 25, 1963, and became a member of the International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (IFHTSE) in 1981. It is a national academic organization of heat-treatment science and technology workers under the leadership of the China Association for Science and Technology and the China Mechanical Engineering Society with more than 400 group members and nearly 1,000 individual members.
CHTS publishes several well respected heat treating journals including Jinshu Rechuli (Heat Treatment of Metals) and Journal of Materials Heat Treatment.
