Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the heat treatment and surface engineering of metallic materials. It investigates how various processing techniques, including austempering, laser powder bed fusion, hot working, nitriding, and shot peening, influence material microstructure and mechanical properties. The research covers a range of alloys such as die steels, composite cylinders, dissimilar metal welds, superalloys, high entropy alloys, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys.
