Call for Papers
ECHT 2027 and 32nd IFHTSE World Congress will be jointly held in Milan on 14-17 April 2027 by AIM, the Italian Association for Metallurgy. These two jont conferences are the premier global forum for the exchange of cutting-edge scientific knowledge and industrial advancements in heat treatment and surface engineering and will offer great networking opportunities. The event is dedicated to researchers, engineers, metallurgists, and industry leaders seeking to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and large-scale industrial application.
