7th International Conference on Hot Sheet Metal Forming of High Performance Steel, CHS²-2017 was organized in Luleå Sweden, 2-5 June 2019. The conference organized in collaboration organized by Luleå University of Technology in cooperation with the research institute Eurecat, Barcelona, Spain and with the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST), USA. 223 participants from 20 countries joined in the conference in Luleå. The conference included 83 lectures in the field of thermo-mechanical manufacturing and related processes.

The lectures covered many new interesting research areas such as:

Topics like tailored properties, microstructure, mixed materials, performance of new materials and products, 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 innovations and design principles for components.

Next conference in the CHS² series

Already now it is decided that next conference in the CHS² series will be held in Bacelona, Spain, June 2021.
