Venue: AGMA/SME in-Person Training
Heat Treat Training at AGMA Fall Seminar in Rosemont, IL
Heat Treating is a critical process in the Manufacturing Industry. However,problems stemming from heat treating can be challenging, even for the most experienced heat treat personnel.
AGMA/SME has assembled a Team of EXPERTS to educate and train people on this topic right before the opening of the Fall Technical Conference for AGMA.
The Heat Treat seminar is presented by SME (Chicagoland Chapter5 ) and AGMA to be held in conjunction with the AGMA Fall Technical Meeting in Rosemont (Chicago), IL at the Hyatt Rosemont.
- The seminar will take place on Monday, October 7, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
- Topics presented will focus on successful methods for heat treating of gears and managing distortion.
Three different Presenters:
Dan Herring
Herring has spent his career in the heat treatment industry addressing heat treating, brazing and sintering problems. The author of over seven hundred (700) published papers and seven (7) books including Vacuum Heat Treatment (Volume 1 & 2) published in 2012/2015, Atmosphere Heat Treatment published in 2014/2016 as well as several e-books entitled A Comprehensive Guide to Heat Treatment (Volume 1 & 2) released in 2018 and Metallurgical Fundamentals of Heat Treating released in 2021. "The Heat Treat Doctor" is dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art in the thermal processing field.
Herring’s Presentation
- Gear materials and their heat treatment
- Critical considerations – microstructure & properties
- Preventing gear failures by intelligent heat treatment
- Ways in which to optimize gear heat treatment in atmosphere furnaces
- Ways in which to optimize gear heat treatment in vacuum furnaces
Arvid Casler
Casler has a long history of applied expertise in the heat treating sector for manufacturing. Previously, Casler was the Chief Metallurgist for Northstar Aerospace, and is now General Manager of Element Chicago which is a material testing laboratory. Casler is a Frost & Sullivan and Presidential Service Award recipient (2016), and his affiliations include the ASTM E28 Committee, the Rockford-Stateline Chapter of ASNT, and several committees of ASM International while a current member of NACE, AIME/TMS, STLE and SAE.
Casler’s Presentation
- Review of starting material conditions, including basic product forms, forged, wrought, cold rolled, and hot rolled
- Basic furnace designs and fixturing vs. furnace load
- Sources of distortion - brief review of the development of residual stress, stress relief, how to identify which is which (shape vs. size), and intermittent stress relief (inclusion of masking materials)
- Quenching primer - media vs. distortion, prediction methods, and quench phases
- Quench press use
Tom Hart
Hart is a seasoned Product Manager specializing in Vacuum Furnaces at SECO/VACUUM. Tom draws from the experience of his 20-year career in precision manufacturing and heat treatment industries. In his role, Tom collaborates closely with partners, providing invaluable insights into heat treatment processes, equipment, and infrastructure specific to vacuum furnaces. His knowledge spans various heat treatment techniques, including hardening, annealing, low-pressure carburizing, tempering, sintering, vacuum brazing, and more.
Hart’s Presentation
- An overview focusing on gear heat treatment with low pressure carburizing and the three methods of quenching (batch oil, batch gas and 4DQ)
- A detailed look at the newer 4DQ process – which in most cases can eliminate the need for
