Detroit Automotive Heat Treating Conference

May 20, 1997
Royce Hotel (Detroit Metropolitan Airport)
Romulus, MI

Registration Form

This one day conference has been organized by the Detroit Chapter of ASM International and the Heat Treating Society.

There will be two tracks, each with a specific focus. The first is directed at various powertrain and suspension components that are being produced using relatively new combinations of materials, forming, and heat treating. The second track addresses issues of interest to operators of heat treating facilities such as quality control, efficiency, and profitability.

Some of the major suppliers will have table-top exhibits for viewing and discussion during the breaks and lunch. These exhibitors are also sponsoring a reception just after the afternoon sessions to allow further time for interaction and questions.

Call the ASM office at (586)573-0700 or e-mail for reservations.
