27th IFHTSE CONGRESS & EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON HEAT TREATMENT 2022

Conferences are where this Federation was created and what it was created for. These events, and in the wider sense the „exchange of information… among technologists and scientists“, as the statutes say, have been changing substantially over the years and are changing no less substantially in our time.
The mere chance to meet in person was anything but a given in the Federation’s first two...

The microstructure-property relationships in martensitic steels are controlled in part by the initial austenite microstructure, as well as the tempering response and the presence and behavior of retained austenite. Furthermore, transformation-induced plasticity of austenite has been increasingly employed in recent years to enhance performance. These themes will be explored in the context of...

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes enable to produce complex three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models. Due to layer by layer formation, as-built materials typically show finer solidification microstructures and mechanical properties compared to the same parts produced by conventional routes. Well established that the elimination of any post treatment remains a big challenge of AM,...

Surface Engineering has a long history and is one of the very few fields that has an extremely rich heritage coupled with ongoing evolution and adaptation and expansion into new areas and application. This process has evolved through many empirical trials and practices and some as an intricate art form. Surface engineering has been practiced by artisans for many centuries and by many...
