2 PROMOTING RESEARCH, NETWORK AND INNOVATION The area of hot sheet metal forming of high-performance steel is under continuous development and the industrial and research community within this field is established all over the world. Since its innovation in Sweden in the 1970s, press hardening has become a global technology. The driving forces for this fast development, with focus on the automotive sector, are concern for the environment and passenger safety. Press hardening and related thermomechanical processes represent technologies with outstanding potential to meet global environmental challenges as well as the safety challenges within the transportation sector. What started as a niche technology has developed into a real mainstream area in lightweight design. To fully support this potential of the technology, further innovations in presshardening steel (PHS) technologies are essential. Research and development, both on academic as well as on the industrial level, is one of the most important prerequisites for continuing innovation. The Swedish German Centre of Excellence for Hot Sheet Metal forming of High-Performance Steel CHS² the University of Kassel (Germany) and the Luleå University of Technology (Sweden) have established a worldwide unique competence network to meet the future challenges of hot sheet metal forming technology. Through the cooperation with Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST), this community is further strengthened in the North American region. CONFERENCE SERIES & SCOPE The biannual CHS 2 conference series has after five very successful conferences since 2008 grown into the leading platform for scientific exchange in PHS technology. The CHS 2 conference undoubtedly constitutes the most important event for the international scientific community in the field. CONFERENCE TOPICS Material - High-performance steels - Tool steels - Microstructural properties - Surface design and coatings Modeling and Simulation - Process modeling - Microstructure - Heat transfer - Thermomechanical properties - Friction and wear - Component properties - Deformation, fracture and fatigue

Consequently, for the 6th International Conference on Hot Sheet Metal Forming of High-Performance Steel CHS 2 2017, specialists from all over the world are invited to join this unique exchange

Topics like tailored properties, microstructure, material and product performance, new surface coatings and new steels for press hardening, as well as pertinent tribological aspects, will be in focus

3 Consequently, for the 6th International Conference on Hot Sheet Metal Forming of High-Performance Steel CHS , specialists from all over the world are invited to join this unique exchange platform and to benefit from each other s experience and expertise. Topics like tailored properties, microstructure, material and product performance, new surface coatings and new steels for press hardening, as well as pertinent tribological aspects, will be in focus in the same way as thermal processing, monitoring, modeling, simulation and, of course, new PHS part innovations and design principles. VENUE 2017 For the second time, the CHS² conference will be held in North America, where the press-hardening technology is currently in a very expanding state concerning research, industrial development and implementation. CHS² 2017 will be held in Atlanta, Ga., USA, 4 7 June The venue is the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. As in Toronto 2015, CHS² 2017 will be organized in cooperation with AIST, a not-forprofit entity with 18,000 members worldwide. AIST is recognized as a global leader in networking, education and sustainability programs for advancing iron and steel technology. Process Design - Tool systems - Heating and cooling strategies - Automation and control - Process monitoring Products - Product innovations and optimization - Tailored material properties - Cutting and joining technologies - Applications and performance - Design and tests
