vacuum with gas quenching)
o Surface hardening technology (induction hardening,
laser, electron beam), coating technology (thermal
spraying, coating, PVD, CVD, plasma,..)
o Vacuum heat treatment of metals and alloys
o Quenching technology, quenching distortion and
stresses
o Design and construction of industrial heat treatment
equipment for series production
o Improved modelling capabilities and simulation of
heat treatment and surface engineering
o Environmental impact of heat treatment and

conference.
The European series of conferences is organised by
heat treatment associations in Austria, Belgium,
Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands
and Switzerland and is dedicated to knowledge
transfer between research and practice and the
exchange of experience among engineers and
scientists. ATZK, which unites heat treatment
experts from Czech and Slovak Republics - countries
with a long tradition in the automotive industry offers this extensive conference program of current
trends in automotive applications.
Organization
The conference is organized by the ATZK –
Association for the Heat Treatment of Metals in
close cooperation with A3TS, AIM, ASMET,
SVW/ATTT, VWT and IFHTSE.
