2012 Edition

First edition of
“Innovative Solutions In Heat treating” seminar – 2012

Novatherm Heat Treating

Nitrex Metal, in conjunction with United Process Controls and the Institute of Precision Mechanics, held its first seminar dedicated to “Innovative Solutions in Heat Treating” at the Ostaniec Hotel in Podlesice, Central Poland on September 25-26, 2012. The seminar relied on both leading academic researchers and industry practitioners to deliver high quality content on the latest innovations that improve manufacturing quality and efficiency.

Presentations in the inaugural event were mainly about the current state and developments in controlled nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing processes, technologies and applications. The seminar elicited a pronounced interest in future editions that would cover a wide range of aspects and themes related to heat treating. In addition to improving their knowledge of available technologies, over 75 participants had the opportunity to form closer relationships with industry/academic players not only from Poland but also Canada, Germany, Czech Republic and the United States. The next edition will be expanded to encompass a wider international audience.

Join us at the third edition of the seminar.
