The scope of this international symposium is broadly within a domain of new challenges, recent progress and emerging ideas in the fields of advanced heat treatment. Should also offer an opportunity to examine the present state and perspectives in theory and practice of heat treatment and surface engineering of metals. Various R&D efforts related to heat treatment and surface engineering will be covered at the symposium.
