TECHNICAL: In recent years, impressive surface hardening of stainless steels has been achieved using a variety of low temperature carburization and nitridation technologies. In spite of the budding commercial activity in this field, recognition that tribological properties of a variety of stainless steels can be significantly improved and without serious degradation in other properties has not garnered general industrial recognition in the USA. Furthermore, with the exception of one small meeting in Japan in 2000, this topic has also not received much attention from the academic materials community, particularly in the U.S. In view of this, Case Western Reserve University would host and sponsor an International Conference on Surface Hardening of Stainless Steel, on behalf of the ASM Heat Treatment Society. The meeting will be held on the Case campus on October 22 and 23, 2007; ASM International, located ~20 miles from the Case campus in Materials Park, Ohio, will handle the logistical details of publicity, registration, lodgings, etc. for participants. The meeting is co-sponsored by NSF, TMS, ONR, and Swagelok. The Program Committee, in addition to Heuer, includes G. M. Michal, F. Ernst, and H. Kahn of CWRU; S. R. Collins and P. C. Williams of Swagelok; M. A. J. Somers of the Technical University of Denmark; and J. P. Riviere of the University of Poitiers, France. Heuer and Collins are Chair and Co-Chair, respectively. NON-TECHNICAL: In addition to the improved tribological properties, both the fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels such as 316L are dramatically improved by low temperature carburization, with essentially no impact on component ductility. Because of these advances, and the existence of many potential industrial applications ('low hanging fruit'), a significant impact of this conference will be to bring the existence of these important advances to the attention of the relevant industrial community. In a similar vein, there are many opportunities for academic research. The recognition that single phase austenitic solid solutions containing more than 10 at % interstitial carbon (including the possibility of austenitic stainless steels that are ferromagnetic at room temperature) suggests a host of interesting physical metallurgy and solid state physics research topics. The funds requested from NSF will be used to offset participant costs, particularly for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty from U.S. universities. An email letter will be sent to all Chairs of Materials departments in the U.S., advising them of the existence of travel/registration scholarships to attend the meeting and noting that preference will be given in awarding these scholarships to women and other under-represented minorities. It is anticipated that this meeting will be the first in a triennial ASM/TMS series on this topic. Successful negotiations have now been concluded to have some of the presentations submitted as a group for peer-review and eventual publication in a single issue of Met. Trans. A.

技术：近年来，使用各种低温渗碳和氮化技术，不锈钢的表面硬化已经取得了令人印象深刻的成就。尽管这一领域的商业活动正在萌芽，但在美国，人们还没有普遍认识到各种不锈钢的摩擦学性能可以得到显著改善，而其他性能不会严重退化。此外，除了2000年在日本举行的一次小型会议外，该主题也没有受到学术材料界的太多关注，特别是在美国。鉴于此，凯斯西储大学将代表ASM热处理学会主办并赞助一次关于不锈钢表面硬化的国际会议。会议将于2007年10月22日至23日在凯斯校区举行；ASM International位于俄亥俄州材料园，距离凯斯校区约20英里，将为与会者处理宣传，注册，住宿等后勤细节。本次会议由NSF、TMS、ONR和世伟洛克共同主办。除Heuer外，项目委员会还包括CWRU的G. M. michael、F. Ernst和H. Kahn；S. R. Collins和P. C. Williams；丹麦技术大学的m.a. j.s omers；和法国普瓦捷大学的J. P. Riviere。豪雅和柯林斯分别担任主席和联席主席。非技术：除了改善摩擦学性能外，奥氏体不锈钢（如316L）的抗疲劳性和耐腐蚀性都通过低温渗碳得到了显着改善，而对部件的延展性基本上没有影响。由于这些进步，以及存在许多潜在的工业应用（“唾手可得的果实”），本次会议的一个重大影响将是将这些重要进步的存在引起相关工业界的注意。同样，这里也有很多学术研究的机会。认识到含有超过10%的间隙碳的单相奥氏体固溶体（包括奥氏体不锈钢在室温下具有铁磁性的可能性）提出了许多有趣的物理冶金和固体物理研究课题。从NSF申请的资金将用于抵消参与者的费用，特别是来自美国大学的研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师。将向美国所有材料部门的主席发送一封电子邮件，告知他们参加会议的旅行/注册奖学金的存在，并指出将优先向妇女和其他代表性不足的少数民族颁发这些奖学金。预计这次会议将是ASM/TMS关于这一主题的三年一次系列会议中的第一次会议。目前，谈判已经取得成功，一些论文将作为一个小组提交给同行评审，并最终在《大都会》的一期杂志上发表。反式。一个。
