The high TemperaTure maTerials CommiTTee

The High Temperature Materials Committee (HTMC) is part of the IOM3 Materials Science and Technology Division. The primary aim of the HTMC is knowledge capture and dissemination of high temperature materials. The HTMC defines high temperature as the temperature above which materials are time dependent, ie when microstructural changes during services become a life limiting factor. Capture and dissemination is executed primarily through workshops and conferences but lectures and seminars at universities and schools are becoming more significant as we aim to enthuse the next generation of materials scientists and engineers.

engineered sysTems

Materials are not considered in a pure sense since the HTMC views a material as an engineered system. An engineered system is a material that has been formed into a component and subsequently worked into a useable component, eg machined, welded, cold worked etc and/or various thermal and surface treatments to produce the finished article. All these additional processes can alter the material properties, eg cold work can accelerate the degradation of austenitic alloys by strain induced precipitation hardening. Consequently it is important for the HTMC to consider not just the virgin material but how the material enters service and how the material changes with service.

The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) is a body incorporated by Royal Charter, Registered charity number 269275.

Knowledge CapTure & disseminaTion

A full list of past and planned workshops/conferences can be found on the HTMC web page www.iom3.org/HTMC

If you are a further education establishment or school and would like a talk, presentation or seminar on HT materials we have a range of topics/activities to suit all ages from 8 years old upwards.

how do i join?

Membership of the HTMC is accomplished by joining the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining online at www.iom3.org/join or using our printed membership form.

member benefiTs

Member benefits include free access to online magazine content and refereed journals, free member magazines, discounts on conferences and publications, access to information services and more.
