Introducing the All-New Heat Treating Progress eNews
With this issue of HTP eNews, ASM International and the ASM Heat Treating Society are taking a bold new step forward into the Global Materials Community.
Continued below. |
Sponsor's Message
|
Over the next six weeks, ASM and HTS will introduce a bold new ASM Community Website and new eNewsletters like HTP eNews. Our new design isn’t just attractive, it’s made this way for readability and value.
What’s more, the new HTP eNews represents an exclusive and innovative way for sponsors to reach their buyers in the heat treating market.
Did you know that more than 90 percent of all buyers go online first to research possible purchases? Or that today’s professionals spend more than six hours every week in reviewing editorial media and vendor content as part of their decision making process?
The Internet has completely changed the way that successful advertisers reach their buyers. Online sponsorships have shown their worth as part of an integrated marketing approach that combines print advertising, direct marketing, and online marketing to achieve overall sales goals.
As part of what we call “ASM Total Access,” the new HTP eNews provides the advantages of online sponsorship as a powerful complement to print advertising programs. Total Access is efficient, responsive, targeted, immediate, and measurable.
ASM Total Access offers a unique means of increasing your company’s sales leads, building brand awareness and brand preference—and growing your business—at an affordable price.
For details, contact me at 440-338-5151, ext. 5226, or e-mail joe.zion@asminternational.org. In print, online, or at the show—it’s all about Access.

Practical Heat Treating
August 4-8, 2008
ASM World Headquarters
Instructor: David Pye
Practical Heat Treating is designed to teach about the actual heat treating process, or the “how” of heat treating, in contrast to the “why” of heat treating as you might find in courses such as Heat Treatment of Steel and Principles of Heat Treating.

Practical Induction Heat Treating
September 22-26, 2008
ASM World Headquarters
Instructor: Jon Dossett
Practical Induction Heat Treating covers the basic principles of heat treatment and of induction heating, with emphasis on equipment, frequency, and power selection; heating and quenching coil design; cooling systems design; current applications; process control; sources of and solutions to induction heat treating problems; process and quality control techniques; and system maintenance. Examples of how to determine operational costs will be provided.

Failure Analysis of Heat Treated
Steel Components (Pre-Publication)
Edited by L.C.F. Canale, R.A. Mesquita,
and G.E. Totten
Member price: $130.00
Nonmember price: $162.00
This invaluable resource discusses causes of failure with integrated coverage of process metallurgy of steels by forging, casting, welding, and heat treating. Topics include production problems such as porosity, flaws, and surface defects that can influence failures occurring during subsequent heat treatment or during use. This reference includes many examples of heat treatment failures, with special focus on the demands of tool steels and aerospace materials.
