Who we are

A3TS (A

ssociation

from

thermal treatment

and

surface treatment) a

was founded in 1969

A3TS has around 800 members, including French and international industrial companies and organizations, engineers, researchers, experts and academics, who support it on a daily basis.

Its objective is to disseminate and promote advanced technological knowledge in the fields of materials processing, namely heat treatment and surface treatment.

A network of connected professionals

A3TS'svery active and friendly network is one of the association's key features. Our aim is to encourage exchanges between members in a warm and welcoming environment.

Members are listed in a directory that is updated every year. Joining A3TS means becoming part of a dynamic network, rich in shared experience and professional opportunities.

High-level events

A3TS organizes several events each year: an annual Congress and Trade Show bringing together professionals in the heat treatment and surface treatment sectors, andthemed conference days focusing on current scientific and technical topics: Etats Généraux des technologies sans Chromes VI, Techniques de Protection Thermique, Fabrication Additive, Hydrogène et traitement des matériaux ....
