The Heat Treating Society continues ASM's founding "steel treating" mission and serves ASM's largest member segment. The premier society for heat treating professionals is comprised of members from the captive, commercial, supplier, research, manufacturer and customer sectors. HTS serves as a central clearinghouse for heat-treating information that is distributed through conferences, seminars, books, magazines and electronic media. Among the many benefits of membership, HTS members receive unlimited access to the Heat Treater's Guides online. The HTS Web site also features a Heat Treating Discussion Forum.

Heat Treating Progress Magazine
Keep informed about the heat treating industry by reading the official voice of the Heat Treating Society. Heat Treating Progress is the only magazine dedicated exclusively to the business and technology of heat treating. Each bimonthly issue is designed to keep heat treating professionals informed and to help them do their jobs better. In-depth articles on existing and emerging technologies, profiles on new products, industry news, technical tips, legislative and business trends, and challenging commentary are all part of Heat Treating Progress's editorial line-up. Also be sure to check out the online HTP Thermal Source Book.

Heat Treating Progress eNews
Every month, the editorial staff of Heat Treating Progress brings you Heat Treating Progress eNews, an interactive email newsletter to keep you informed about technical, economic and business issues that affect the state of the heat treating industry. Catch up on the latest heat treating news or raise your voice on political, economic, or technological questions by voting on important issues each month.  In today's economic climate, you need the most up-to-date information available, and our editorial team is dedicated to bringing it to you - in print, in person and online.

Events
The biennial Heat Treating Society Conference and Exposition is the premier event for heat treating professionals, combining broad-based technical programming and the world's largest and best heat treating exposition. Many of ASM's other conferences and expositions feature programming and exhibits related to heat treating and surface engineering.

ASM Materials Information Online
ASM Materials Information Online makes it easy to search across all of ASM's online reference, property, and processing data to find the materials information you need. Featured resources include ASM Handbooks Online, the ASM Alloy Center, the ASM Micrograph Center, and the Failure Analysis Center. Of special interest to heat treaters, the ASM Alloy Center includes the Heat Treater's Guide datasheets as well as hundreds of time-temperature curves for metals and alloys. The Micrograph Center provides a unique environment to explore and understand the effects of heat treating on the microstructures of industrially important alloys.
