The Scientific and Technological Council

One of A3TS's main missions is to promote the scientific aspects of the heat treatment and surface treatment industries. This involves disseminating information via various media (press, internet) and organizing technical days and conferences.

The Scientific and Technological Council ensures the quality of the information disseminated by the A3TS. Composed of about twenty members and animated by its President, the Scientific and Technological Council exercises a mission of proposal by generating ideas and by ensuring the renewal of the themes.
Representative of the diversity of the actors and the sectors, it claims a strong anchoring in the reality of the profession as well as in innovation through research.

It is the guarantor of the scientific quality of the information disseminated by the A3TS, and also has a mission of monitoring and control over the content of conferences and articles.

The Technical Committees overseen by the Scientific and Technological Council

The technical commissions are the "kingpins of the A3TS", they federate the skills of its members to promote the technical and technological developments of the moment.
Thus, within the framework of their work, the commissions contribute to making the capitalized knowledge available to the companies concerned. In addition, the expertise induced by this work in the field of heat treatment is widely disseminated to industries where these technologies are essential in the design and manufacture of products, components, mechanical equipment...

 

Generally the dissemination of the work of the commissions is carried out in four forms:

  • Writing articles in specialized magazines

  • Participation in technical days, seminars, conferences...

  • Realization of training courses specific to the field

  • Writing and publishing of specialized books

WEAR AND FRICTION Committee: Chair Yves Gachon

Improving wear resistance and optimizing friction properties are the goals of many surface treatments and heat treatments. This is an essential concern for design offices and a way to progress in mechanics, automotive, aeronautics, energy ... A number of conventional solutions are then questioned. It is therefore necessary to look for sustainable solutions with respect to future regulations and to evaluate them from a tribological point of view. This evaluation requires tests, which are not standardized enough, making it difficult to compare each solution. It is therefore essential to have a range of tests covering a wide range of applications.

In order to reduce development time and to validate the integration of tribological parameters earlier in the design process, it is necessary to have a tool for modeling the mechanics of contacts.

Before being able to provide solutions to all these problems, it is important to take stock of what has already been achieved and to lay the foundations of the technique.

For this purpose, the Commission has set itself several objectives which will be, in the first instance, the drafting of documents in the form of a collection, review or technical bulletin:

  • To provide the industry with sources of information and expertise on the subject of "Friction - Wear".

  • List the different tests characterizing friction and wear

  • To extract combinations of tribological functionalities (friction, wear) from sensitive components and key positions in the aeronautics, automotive and energy sectors

  • Establish a matrix of the different solutions applied to meet these functionalities

  • Propose simple test methods to control the drift of the different production phases with respect to the tribological performance of coatings

to propose at regular intervals an event of restitution of the work and exchange with the community. (conference, publication...)
