Some Pre-reading Before FNA’s Technical Sessions
Furnaces North America (FNA) 2024 begins Monday, October 14, and runs through Wednesday, October 16. If you haven’t registered yet, you can still do so onsite, and one look at the technical sessions planned over the two days of training says all you need to know about the caliber of instruction at the event.
All of the sessions will be worth your time! Presenters are highly qualified to speak on the topics, which range from processes and equipment to technology to security:
- Emerging Technologies
- Furnace Maintenance & Equipment
- Heat Treat Business & Digital Transformation
- Energy & Gases
- Operational Efficiencies
- Quality, Compliance & Materials
- Process Advancements
If you want to do a little prereading to prepare for the sessions, Heat Treat Today is pleased to direct your attention to technical session presenters who have contributed to our radio, print, and digital resources during this year:
- On Tuesday at 8:50 a.m., Bryan Stern, product development manager at Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems, will be speaking on “The Impact of Oil Quenching – A Look at the Carbon Footprint and Cost of Vacuum vs. Atmosphere Processing.” On June 20, 2024, Bryan was our guest on Heat Treat Radio, episode #110, “Isolated Heat, the Future of Vacuum Furnaces,” which you can listen to here.
- Later that morning, at 9:40, Peter Sherwin, global business development manager of Heat Treatment at Watlow, will focus on “Smart Heat Treatment: Industry 4.0 Innovations for Environmental & Energy Efficiency.” Peter co-authored “Thermal Loop Solutions: A Path to a Sustainable Future in Heat Treatment,” a two-part series published in both the magazine and on our website. You can read the first part here and the second part here.
- During that same time slot, Brian Turner, sales application engineer at RoMan Manufacturing, is scheduled to speak on “Efficient Furnace Power Solutions”. Brian joined fellow RoMan employees who have contributed technical content to an ongoing series on controls. You can read that article, “Basic Definitions: Power Pathways in Vacuum Furnaces,” originally published July 16, 2024, here.
- On Wednesday at 8 a.m., Sefi Grossman, founder and CEO of CombustionOS, is scheduled to present a session on “Maximizing Heat Treat Operational Efficiency: Digitize Your Data for Automation.” Sefi wrote a piece for our August Automotive print edition on “A New Era: Tracking Quality Digitally,” which was later republished at the website. You can read the digital version here.
- At 8:50, Joe Coleman, cybersecurity officer at Bluestreak Compliance, will address “CMMC’s Impending Impact On The Metal Treating Industry.” Just last month, he joined Heat Treat Radio in an interview about “NIST and CMMC: What Heat Treaters Need To Know,” which you can listen to here.
- Chad Beamer, senior applications engineer at Quintus Technologies, will speak on “Quintus Purus: Development of Clean HIP Processing” at 9:40 on Wednesday morning. Earlier this year, he collaborated with fellow Quintus employees on an article, “HIP Innovation Maximizes AM Medical Potential,” which you can read here.
