News from Abroad: From AM and Electrode Regulation to Industrial Systems
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 issue, we look at updates on industry events around the globe such as electric furnaces in Finland and new technology to accommodate additive manufacturing advances.
