The 30th IFHTSE World Congress is scheduled to be held in Suzhou, China from August 19 to 22, 2025.
Organized by the Chinese Heat Treatment Society (CHTS), established in 1963, this event marks a significant milestone in the longstanding tradition of collaboration and exchange within global heat treatment and surface engineering communities. As one of China's oldest professional societies, CHTS has fostered a rich history of friendship and cooperation with international counterparts for over six decades.
Our Society serves as a platform for technology and innovation, connecting more than 1,000 institutional members and 6,000 individual members while facilitating worldwide partnerships across academia and industry. The longstanding collaboration between CHTS and IFHTSE has yielded numerous landmark events,including:
3rd International Congress on Heat Treatment of Materials (Shanghai, 1983)
14th IFHTSE Congress (Shanghai, 2004)
20th IFHTSE Congress (Beijing, 2012)
25th IFHTSE Congress (Xi'an, 2018)
2nd International Conference on Energy and the Future of Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (Beijing, 2014)
Building on this legacy, we are now directing our collective efforts and resources towards organizing a congress that will explore the interplay of tradition and innovation in heat treatment and surface engineering. This premier gathering will convene global experts, researchers, and industry leaders to:
Delegates from diverse industrial and academic backgrounds will engage in dynamic discussions on heat treatment and surface engineering.
