IFHTSE Global 21: heat treatment and surface engineering in the twenty-first century: Part 11 – Survey of the heat treatment and surface engineering industry in Argentina at the beginning of the twenty-first century

Abstract

Heat treatment and surface engineering are enabling technologies for modern industry in technologically developed countries. However, the technical requirements of industry in the developing countries, and particularly in Argentina, are often not so demanding. This article is an attempt to reflect the current status of heat treatment and surface engineering in Argentina at the beginning of the twenty-first century, particularly in terms of available technology and human resources. Emphasis is also given to the future prospects of this area of engineering.
