International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering

A GLOBAL MEETING POINT
WHERE AI MEETS HEAT TREATMENT
AI and heat treatment synergy

Two disciplines that make each other stronger

Heat treatment contributes physics, materials knowledge, transformation kinetics, process constraints and industrial know-how. AI contributes prediction, inverse modelling, optimization, digital twins and intelligent control.
