WHERE AI MEETS HEAT TREATMENT

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.
Where materials engineering meets intelligent computation
ICTPMS 2027 brings together heat treatment, surface engineering, materials science, modeling, simulation and artificial intelligence. The conference is designed as a meeting point for researchers, engineers, software developers, equipment manufacturers and industrial users.
The central theme is the integration of physics-based models, computational materials engineering, data-driven methods, digital twins and AI with advanced thermal and surface processing.
From physical understanding to autonomous decision-making.
