News from Abroad: A New Technique, Equipment, and Celebrations

Heat Treat Today is partnering with two international publications: heat processing, a Vulkan-Verlag GmbH publication that serves mostly the European and Asian heat treat markets, and Furnaces International, a Quartz Business Media publication that primarily serves the English-speaking globe. Through these partnerships, we are sharing the latest news, tech tips, and cutting-edge articles that will serve our audience — manufacturers with in-house heat treat.

In this article, originally published in Heat Treat Today's March 2023 Aerospace Heat Treating print edition, we look at new tech in Japan, a low emission material in Germany, an alliance of specialists in Mexico, and an executive move in a global industrial gas company.
