The 8th edition of TRATER DAY – Technical Conference on Heat Treatment, organized by the TABIRA FOUNDRY INSTITUTE and the AZTERLAN Metallurgical Research Center, in collaboration with TRATER PRESS and DEK Durangaldea Enpresa Ekimena, will take place on November 27th, 2025, at the AZTERLAN facilities (Durango).
The TABIRA FOUNDRY INSTITUTE and the AZTERLAN Metallurgical Research Center, in collaboration with TRATER PRESS, media focused in this sector, are organizing the 8th Heat Treatment Technical Conference (TRATER DAY 2025), which will be held on November 27th at AZTERLAN’s facilities (Durango).
The main objective of this workshop is to improve the technological and competitive position of companies in the metalworking industry by presenting important technological innovations stemming from the latest developments in the field of heat treatment. This technical workshop serves as a meeting point for professionals, technicians, and research teams specializing in the latest advances and innovations in various areas of the heat treatment industry (hardening technologies, surface treatments, characterization, measurement, coatings, etc.). The aim is to bring together both leading companies in the sector and the strategic sectors that apply them (automotive, wind energy, railways, aeronautics, foundry, among others).
Renowned experts in the field will participate in this technical meeting, representing KEYSIGHT, ADI TREATMENTS, INSERTEC, ONDARLAN, S.L. and MESUREX companies, as well as the AZTERLAN Technology Center.
Presentations for the day (morning session):
-
“Cast aluminum heat treatment simulation: dimensional and residual stress predictions in structural parts”. Igor Pérez. Solution Engineer at Keysight.
- “From a eleven-part assembly to a single part: an example of the advantageous combination of casting technology and heat treatments”. Dr. Arron Rimmer. Director at ADI TREATMENTS LTD.
- “Decarbonization and electrification in aluminum foundry. Alternatives to natural gas. Jorge Almeida. Senior Sales Engineer at INSERTEC Furnaces and Refractories.
