Background

Most engineering and automotive parts be it drive line or engine or structural members need to have adequate strength and durability to perform their respective functions. At the same time these parts need to be cost effective. To achieve these twin objective the components are subjected to surface strengthening treatments. Most commonly used surface strengthening treatments are case carburising & hardening and Induction hardening. For engineers the proper knowledge of these processes is essential so that they carry out their jobs effectively.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organising 2 day programme on Surface Hardening with special focus on Carburising and hardening and induction hardening. The topics will covered in depth with focus on actual case studies and plant visit.
