Residual Stress Technology Conference (RSTC 2027)
Join us in Columbus, Ohio, for the Residual Stress Technology Conference (RSTC 2027), where engineers, researchers, and industry leaders will come together to explore the latest advances in residual stress science and its impact on material performance.
RSTC 2027 builds on the success of the inaugural Residual Stress Technology Conference in Québec City, Canada, continuing the ASM Residual Stress Technical Committee’s longstanding commitment to advancing residual stress engineering, measurement, and modeling. Co-located with the International Materials, Applications, and Technologies Conference and Exposition (IMAT 2027), Heat Treat 2027 & the North American Cold Spray Conference, RSTC will bring together experts from across the materials community to encourage technical exchange, strengthen industry connections, and bridge the gap between research and real-world applications.
With the support of ASM International and the guidance of the Residual Stress Technical Committee, RSTC 2027 will provide a dedicated forum to share knowledge, explore emerging technologies, and address the challenges of residual stress across manufacturing, engineering, and material performance.

ASM Residual Stress Technical Committee
Advancing the Science of Residual Stress
The Residual Stress Technical Committee (RSTC) brings together ASM members and materials professionals dedicated to understanding, characterizing, and managing residual stresses. Through innovative programs, educational content, publications, and collaborative initiatives, we address the impact of residual stresses on materials selection, processing, design, modeling, and performance.
Our subcommittees drive standards development, handbook publications, professional programming, university outreach, and industry collaboration—ensuring the latest knowledge and best practices are shared across the materials community.
