The ASM Heat Treating Society (HTS) and the International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (IFHTSE) proudly present the highly anticipated 29th IFHTSE World Congress, a premier global event dedicated to advancing the fields of heat treatment and surface engineering. Co-located with ASM’s annual meeting, IMAT 2024, the congress is October 1-3, 2024, in Cleveland, Ohio.

The 2024 IFHTSE World Congress’ theme is “Innovations in Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering for a Sustainable Future.” Emphasizing the critical role of these technologies in shaping a sustainable world, the event will explore the latest developments, breakthroughs, and practices that can enhance the efficiency, performance, and environmental impact of heat treatment and surface engineering processes. In addition, traditional heat-treating topics will be offered.

Future of Heat-Treating Workshop

As part of the event, a special workshop on the Future of Heat Treating will be Monday, September 30, 2024, 3-5 p.m. This two-hour session will delve into three critical areas of heat treating and surface engineering: Data/IoT, sustainability, and education. Led by subject matter experts and facilitators from IFHTSE, participants will engage in round-table discussions, shaping a strategic plan for the global heat-treat community’s needs over the next three to five years. With an interactive format and opportunities for networking, this workshop promises insightful exchanges and actionable outcomes. Reserve your spot now and be part of shaping the future of heat treating. There is no additional fee to participate, however, pre-registration is required.

Motion in Heat Treatment — Heat Treatment in Motion
June 4-6, 2025  I  Prague, Czech Republic

This conference is the fifth in its series and is sponsored by AZTK (Asociace Pro Tepelné Zpracování Kovu). It will be at the Kaiserstein Palace. This event follows the 3rd conference in Prague in 2016 and the 4th conference in Spartanburg, South Carolina. While the previous focus of the event was primarily on automotive applications, the focus of this conference has been widened to all transport applications including automotive, rail, and aircraft, and marine applications of heat-treated and surface-engineered components. The event is combined with the European Conference on Heat Treatment.
