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，采用各种低温渗碳和氮化技术，已经实现了令人印象深刻的不锈钢表面硬化。尽管该领域的商业活动正在萌芽，但各种不锈钢的摩擦学性能可以得到显着改善并且其他性能不会严重降低的认识尚未在美国获得普遍的工业认可。此外，除了2000年在日本举行的一次小型会议外，这一主题也没有受到学术材料界的太多关注，特别是在美国。有鉴于此，凯斯西储大学将代表ASM热处理学会主办并赞助一次国际不锈钢表面硬化会议。会议将于2007年10月22日至23日在凯斯校区举行； ASM International 距离俄亥俄州材料园凯斯校区约 20 英里，将为参与者处理宣传、注册、住宿等后勤细节。该会议由 NSF、TMS、ONR 和世伟洛克共同主办。除 Heuer 之外，计划委员会还包括 CWRU 的 G. M. Michal、F. Ernst 和 H. Kahn；世伟洛克 (Swagelok) 的 S. R. Collins 和 P. C. Williams；丹麦技术大学 M. A. J. Somers；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合主席。非技术性：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均通过低温渗碳得到显着改善，而对部件的延展性基本没有影响。由于这些进步以及许多潜在工业应用的存在（“容易实现的成果”），本次会议的重大影响将是让这些重要进步的存在引起相关工业界的注意。同样，学术研究也有很多机会。认识到单相奥氏体固溶体含有超过 10 at% 间隙碳（包括奥氏体不锈钢在室温下具有铁磁性的可能性），这一认识提出了许多有趣的物理冶金和固态物理研究主题。 NSF 请求的资金将用于抵消参与者的费用，特别是美国大学的研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师的费用。我们将向美国所有材料系主席发送一封电子邮件，告知他们有参加会议的旅行/注册奖学金，并指出将优先向女性和其他代表性不足的少数群体颁发这些奖学金。预计本次会议将是关于该主题的三年一次的 ASM/TMS 系列会议中的第一次会议。目前，谈判已成功结束，部分演示文稿作为一组提交供同行评审，并最终在《大都会》杂志上发表。跨。一个。
