Flex your metallurgical muscle by participating in the Strong Bar Competition, organized by the ASM Heat Treating Society! Student teams will heat treat steel bar to achieve the highest combination of bending strength and bend deflection. This is a two-phase competition that begins with a poster competition, describing the team’s heat treatment method, the hardness profile, and microstructure. During phase two, teams with heat treat the specimen according to their best choice. The bars will be tested on the exhibit show floor to determine the winners. College student teams (Material Advantage or other) are invited to participate.
