About the Conference

Connecting Researchers and Industry Leaders in ThermoMechanical Processing

ThermoMechanical Processing (TMP) is a well-established and strategic approach for enhancing and controlling the mechanical properties of metallic materials. By combining deformation and heat treatment, TMP enables the optimization of microstructural features, allowing metals to meet the demanding requirements of modern mechanical and structural applications. The TMP 2026 Conference continues this tradition, while also addressing today's pressing challenges such as sustainability, digitalization, and the development of new material systems.
