Induction Hardening and Other Surface Heat Treatment Processes

Date : 25 to 26 November, 2025

Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Pune

LAST DATE FOR REGISTRATION 18 November 2025

INTRODUCTION

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.

FOCUS AREAS		KEY TAKE AWAYS
Understanding of Basic metallurgy of Iron , Crystal structure, phase transformation, Iron carbon diagram, TTT diagram Concept of Hardenability and factors affecting it. Role of alloying elements Classification of surface heat treatment processes Induction hardening process with principle and equipment used Different Inductor designs Materials for Induction hardening Case carburising and hardening process Quenching and distortion control Nitriding process Heat treatment defects and remedies Discussion on case studies from user industries Plant visit		After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to learn about - Basics metallurgy of heat treatment Hardenability and factor effecting hardenability Induction hardening processes with induction coil design Case carburising and hardening process and different types of furnaces used Quenching media selection Nitriding process Defects in heat treatment, causes and remedies
