Journal of Heat Treating (JHT)

The Journal of Heat Treating is a specialized peer-reviewed engineering journal focusing on heat treatment processes and metallurgical engineering. It was launched in 1979 and primarily served researchers, industrial engineers, and metallurgists working in materials processing and thermal treatment technologies. The journal was closely associated with ASM International, a leading professional organization in materials science and engineering. The scope of the journal covered a wide range of topics including phase transformations, surface hardening, carburizing and nitriding processes, quenching and tempering, thermal processing of steels and alloys, and advances in heat treatment equipment and techniques. It also published research on mechanical properties of treated materials, failure analysis, and industrial applications in manufacturing and automotive sectors. The journal played an important role in bridging academic research and industrial practice, particularly in metallurgy and manufacturing engineering. It featured experimental studies, applied research papers, and case studies relevant to industrial heat treatment operations. Over time, publication activity declined, and its content became largely archived within scientific databases. Today, its legacy continues through ASM International’s broader materials science publications and successor journals in heat treatment and materials engineering.
