ALD-Holcroft has announced the dates for the 8th Vacuum Carburizing Symposium, to be held in 2014 on May 6th and 7th. This two-day event will be held at the Ford Motor Company Conference and Exposition Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The Symposium will feature two days of information and presentations by industry experts, with audience participation encouraged. The evening of May 6 will be highlighted by a private cocktail and dinner reception at a Ford light truck assembly facility. Guests will have plenty of networking opportunities and the chance to enjoy multimedia experiences along with private tour access to an actual Ford Motor Company assembly line in operation.

Presentation topics will be announced in early 2014 and will cover highly specific and technical subjects relevant to the vacuum carburizing process, including recent innovations, best practices and the business of vacuum carburizing. The speakers will be available for question-and-answer, as well as open discussion during several networking opportunities. This event will appeal primarily to business executives, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, drive train engineers, metallurgists, commercial heat treaters, current and prospective users of vacuum technology, and industry leaders in the carburizing community. ALD-Holcroft encourages interested parties to monitor the company’s website below as well as industry publications and other media for additional details as they become available. Registration for the event is required.
