Consequently, for the 6th International Conference on Hot Sheet Metal Forming of High-Performance Steel CHS2 2017, specialists from all over the world are invited to join this unique exchange platform and to benefit from each other’s experience and expertise. Topics like tailored properties, microstructure, material and product performance, new surface coatings and new steels for press hardening, as well as pertinent tribological aspects, will be in focus in the same way as thermal processing, monitoring, modeling, simulation and, of course, new PHS part innovations and design principles.

As in Toronto 2015, CHS2; 2017 will be organized in cooperation with AIST, a not-for profit entity with 18,000 members worldwide. AIST is recognized as a global leader in networking, education and sustainability programs for advancing iron and steel technology.
