Geoff B Associates

Hosted, organized and presented by Geoff B Associates in association with IQ Technologies, Inc.

This one-day workshop is designed to provide you with an overview of IntensiQuench® processes and production IQ equipment; examine the data from actual case studies, and give you a forum to discuss the use of intensive quenching for your products.

The workshop will help answer these questions for you:

Can a quench process provide both high strength and high ductility at the same time?

How does intensive quenching equipment differ from traditional water, oil, salt or gas quenching systems?

How can my heat-treated products benefit from intensive water quenching and save costs too?

Who should attend this workshop?

Experienced heat treaters and metallurgists who need more from the quenching process.

Steel product design engineers working on developing greater power density parts.

Manufacturing engineers wanting to integrate heat treating into the manufacturing cell.
