Announcement of Award Winners

Heat Treat will offer a young innovative scientists/professionals’ competition-based award and recognition program, seeking to encourage participation of young scientists in the ASM Heat Treating Society, and to provide attractive offers and opportunities in the worldwide Thermal Processing community. We are soliciting abstract submissions based on thermal processing of metal/metal containing components for this competition. This is a 2-phase competition encompassing a poster competition, as well as an oral presentation competition for semi-finalists.
