Thermal Process Modeling

This collection of papers represents the heart of the 5th International Conference on Thermal Process Modeling and Computer Simulation. Thermal processes are key manufacturing steps in producing durable and useful products, with solidification, welding, heat treating, and surface engineering being primary steps. For this reason, the International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (IFHTSE) and the Heat Treating Society (HTS) of ASM International assembled the listed Organizing Committees of experts in the field and solicited papers worthy of presentation to practitioners, researchers, and academia on this critical topic of thermal process modeling.

These papers represent the latest state-of-the-art in thermal process modeling. The breadth of topics covers the depth of our industry and will be a valuable reference source for years to come.
