"The Monty"/March 2013. One of the things that we are most proud of about "The
Monty" is that we are the only website in the world that regularly includes photographs
of captive and commercial heat treaters around the world. For instance in this the March
2013 issue we include photographs of the heat treating departments of a large gear
manufacturer in the US, a gearbox manufacturer in Brazil, a forging company in Ohio
and commercial heat treaters in PA, Texas, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This is in
addition to our estimate of the number of vacuum furnaces in operation around the
world, an announcement of a brand new commercial operation in Texas and a summary
about how the world's largest commercial heat treater Bodycote is setting the world on
fire these days. We are also proud of our advertisers which represent some of the best
suppliers to the worldwide heat treating industry. In this issue you will see new
advertisements from PhoenixTM (temperature profiling systems), Ed Fagan Inc.
(molybdenum) and Aerospace Testing & Pyrometry (calibration services)-all in our
opinion are worth a quick look.
Heat Treat Problems?
Are you constantly re-calibrating or just performing a calibration check on
your instruments (drift/accuracy)?
Use a Precision PID Controller with accuracy levels better than 0.1%.
Can your data records be altered without detection - leading to audit issues?
When .CSV or .XLS do not satisfy your audit
requirements, select the Eurotherm secure
data format that is selected by many
industries (Aerospace, Automotive, Life
Science/FDA etc.)
Do you always have eyes on your process?
The ability to monitor your process data
from anywhere within your plant can help
when resources are stretched (new inbuilt
webserver feature – use your smartphone
to view your process).
All this and more available now in your

Cast Link Belt Line. A fastener manufacturer who outsourced their heat treating
requirements a number of years ago just asked us to list a cast link belt line for
them (details can be found in the continuous section of our
used equipment listings). Nothing unusual about that except
for the fact that the line was built in 1955. I have to say I
have never seen a furnace almost 60 years old in such
pristine condition, so much so that if there was a museum of
history for the heat treating industry I would suggest this
should be exhibit "A". Unfortunately because of the size and
the age I doubt that it will attract much attention which is a real shame for a
furnace that has had such a long and productive life. . February 28/2013

Bodycote Financial Results. The world's largest commercial heat treater has just
released their 2012 Preliminary Results (http://www.bodycote.com/ under the news
section) and the highlights are below. Reading through the results a few things
caught our eye. Brazil and Eastern Europe showed disappointing results, in the case
of Brazil our impression is that everybody is disappointed in Brazil these days.
Bodycote mentions a small acquisition in North America of 3 shops which is of
course Specialty Heat Treating Inc., in Michigan and Indiana but not by name
which surprises us. This in our opinion was an excellent acquisition for the company
and worth mentioning by name. Profit margins in North America are significantly
higher than in Europe which explains the enormous investments the company has
made over the past few years in the US with the result that geographically the US
is now the largest single market for the company. While these few points caught
our eye, reading through the entire report makes for fascinating reading as to
where the growing heat treat markets are. Market reaction was ecstatic with the
shares up almost 10% at one point today. February 28/2013
Souderton, PA. – "Dorran Schultz recently joined Solar Atmospheres of Eastern PA
and will serve the company as a project engineer. Mr. Schultz has over twenty-five
years of experience in research and development. and will be working on numerous
technical and R & D projects at Solar. His initial assignment is to conduct a study of

Worldwide Vacuum Furnaces. On the basis of several questions posed to us
about the number of vacuum furnaces in use around the world we embarked on a
quest to see if we could find out what the actual number is. The basic criteria was
vacuum furnaces currently operational in the heat treating and brazing industries
(this means we were not looking at the total number built over the years as many
have been scrapped, likewise we are not interested in vacuum furnaces in
industries such as crystal growing). To come up with the total number we
shamelessly relied upon a number of vacuum builders around the world who in

Metlab/Wyndmoor, PA. Commercial heat treater Metlab in PA is a pretty cool
place in that they have have to some extent filled a large void in the commercial
heat treating field namely carburizing of very large gears. Granted there are others
that do the same thing but Metlab is known as the heat treater with the largest pit
carburizing furnaces in the US. The press release gives us some more details.
February 26/2013
"Metlab Refurbishes Large Pit Furnaces Increasing Reliability and Uptime;
In anticipation of receiving several large gears and bearing races for carburizing
and nitriding, Metlab has completed the upgrade of both of its large pit furnaces.
The upgrades enhance the company's capability to process parts up to 14 feet in
diameter by 12 feet long and up to 50,000 pounds. The equipment improvements
included refurbishment of nickel base alloy retorts to maintain the appropriate
furnace atmosphere, new insulation, and upgrades to burners, burner controls and
other instrumentation. Now two furnaces, each of similar size and each with 4
million BTU/hour natural gas heating capability sit side-by-side, adjacent to two
quench tanks for oil or water medium quench. Twin overhead cranes, with a
combined lifting capability of 25 tons are positioned over the furnaces to load and
unload components. Temperature uniformity surveys of both furnaces performed in
accordance with AMS 2750D showed that the workzones were +/- 11.5°F at
1750°F, well within the specification requirements of +/- 25°F. After commissioning
of the upgraded furnaces, Metlab commenced carburizing two large 12,000 pound
gears, 11 feet in diameter by 7 1/2 inches thick. The gears were carburized to a
case depth in excess of 0.250". The temperature uniformity of the furnace, coupled
with special fixturing for supporting the gears during carburizing and hardening,
resulted in a heat treated product with minimal distortion and taper. An upcoming

most cases were quite open about their thoughts although
generally they preferred that their names not be used and a
number of acquaintances who have been involved in this industry
for far longer than us. The hardest part of our task was the sheer
number of vacuum furnace builders around the world; we easily
came up with over 60 manufacturers and this does not include
Chinese companies building for the domestic market which is
probably a completely unknown number. With this number of
suppliers and with most not sharing their sales figures at the end
of the day all that we can come up with is an estimate, an estimate
which we don't for a second claim to be anything more than just
that-an estimate. So with this preamble out of the way our
estimate would be 11,000-12,000 vacuum furnaces in
operation around the world with probably 5,000 scrapped out
over the years and well over a thousand in operation in China built
by local suppliers. We can say that with some certainty that the
number of foreign built vacuums in China is probably 200-300 but
the total size of the market is unknown. Whatever way you look at
it this is one heck of a lot of furnaces and the largest supplier of
all? Ipsen which we would estimate has built at least twice as many vacuum
furnaces compared to their nearest competitor. February 27/2013

INDOMETAL 2013 Heat Treat Show/Indonesia. Our friend Janusz Kowalewski
of AFC-Holcroft in China sends us this report of a recent heat treat show in
Indonesia. February 26/2013
"This month, I am again in Indonesia for the INDOMETAL 2013 trade show.
Indonesia with 238 million friendly people is a fast growing market for the heat
treatment services. Indonesia is also one of the “Next Eleven” emerging markets
with strong metalworking industries. Mining, oil/gas, foundry, casting and
automobile industries are growing with double digit speed every year. Only a few
commercial heat treating facilities operate in Indonesia, and the market is wide
open for experience heat treaters with attitude for adventure. The biggest
commercial heat treating shops are Dowa and Parker (editor’s note; these are
Japanese commercial heat treaters who are very strong in Asia, far more so than
any western commercial heat treaters who are almost nonexistent in this part of
the world). I was told that there are only 5 vacuum furnaces in Indonesia. AFCHolcroft USA, ALD Germany, TAV Italy, Ebner Austria (Ebner is one of the largest
nonferrous furnace manufacturer in the world with sales between $250 to $330+

contract for nitriding six large main propulsion ship drive gears, each 10' in
diameter by 8' tall, weighing in excess of 20,000 pounds each, will be run in the
furnaces. Company spokesmen indicated that the furnaces would see extensive use
for carburizing, nitriding and hardening large gearing as well as heat-treating large
carburized bearings destined for use in wind energy turbines. With over 30 furnaces
on-site, the largest 15 feet in diameter, and the longest 24 feet deep, and 40
employees working on three shifts, Metlab, located in Philadelphia serves an
international marketplace with an array of comprehensive thermal processes. These

Machinability
Facilitation of cold-work
Mechanical and electrical properties
Stability of dimensions
The primary purpose of the furnace is to evenly heat to an internal stabilized
temperature of 1,750°F. The furnace is held at this temperature for a
predetermined amount of time, and is then cooled using an external Venturi cooling
system. The furnace is first loaded with product in a work envelope of 17” wide by
17” high by 25” deep. It is purged with 10 volume changes of nitrogen or until the
oxygen level is below 1%, and is then capable of introducing hydrogen up to 100%.
The dew point of the hydrogen entering the furnace is -40°F or greater due to the
use of all-stainless-steel lines. The furnace control system is driven by a Honeywell
HC900 control system with touchscreen. This computer-based control system
includes a CPU and operator interface with Ethernet capabilities. Modular
construction makes the HC900 expandable, with many input and output options.
The HC900 software monitors and logs all of the thermal data from a remote
computer. The furnace is divided into six zones, each with independent PID loops.
The thermocouples are type K, allowing for consistent operation at 1,750°F.

recently had a need for salt heat treating of some very large parts and suggested
that the largest salt furnaces that he was aware of in the world are at a Babcock

Bodycote/Ipswich, MA. Today we have a quick look at Bodycote's (commercial
heat treating) facility in Ipswich, MA. While the Michigan area is largely automotive,
fasteners in the Midwest and energy in Texas, Massachusetts and a large part of
the North-eastern US is aerospace and medical (it was pointed out to us that these
are some of the only industries that can survive and thrive in this high cost area).
So it was no surprise to us to find out that this particular location is 90% aerospace
and 100% vacuum with a total of 7 vacuum furnaces the largest being 2 GM
Enterprises bottom loading vacuum furnaces one 72" X 72" and the other 66" X 72"
(incidentally the General Manager, Glenn Currie has another on his wish list). This
is what we would consider a pretty typical commercial heat treat concentrating on
vacuum heat treating and vacuum brazing for aerospace components albeit larger
and newer than most with a total of 35 employees. In the great scheme of things
the regional Manager is Mike Sakelakos, a long time heat treater who oversees 9
plants in the North East including South Windsor, CT and Cincinnati, OH which
again are mainly aerospace (by the way Mike became the regional manager
January 1/2013 when Dennis Smith retired). GM of this plant as we mentioned is
Glenn Currie who is now up to almost 40 years of being involved with the aerospace
industry either directly or indirectly. It is certainly open to debate about whether
this facility is the largest commercial heat treater in the region but if not it must be
pretty close and it is certainly one of the most visible. The photo immediately below
shows from the left; Gord Montgomery, Bob Buchanan – Quality Mgr, Glenn Currie
–General Mgr, Alex Borisyuk – Plant Mgr and Colin Misquita – Engineering Mgr. To
close out this story we should say that it was just a couple of years ago that this
plant closed for several weeks after the roof collapsed from the enormous amount
of snow accumulation (a story which we mentioned at the time). The response was
fast and furious by Bodycote, a "war room" was set up which diverted orders to
various other Bodycote plants around the US who worked around the clock and the
result? Customers were so appreciative at the incredible response that they
awarded this facility additional business. So the moral of the story is stuff happens
but it is what you do to rectify the situation which counts in the long run. February

Bruce Diamond Corp./Attleboro, MA. Recently we had a news item entitled "Do
captive heat treaters make good commercial heat treaters", which could easily
apply to Bruce Diamond Corp. About the company we can say this (or rather have
Bruce Diamond say it for us).
"Since 1952, Bruce Diamond Corporation, a family owned and operated business,
has manufactured over 50 million quality industrial diamond tools. While we still
produce some phonograph styli - our first product line - we have evolved into much
more. Known for our superior precision super-abrasive products, we have become
very adept at brazing and shaping diamonds in high-volume production. With this
experience, we have applied our knowledge into the manufacturing of our grinding,
dressing, surface measurement, scribing, fiber optic, engraving, metal bond and
vacuum brazed tools. Bruce Diamond Corporation now possess the capabilities and
techniques required to manufacture superior vacuum brazed CBN and diamond grit
cutting tools for today's Aerospace Industry. The use of strong, lightweight CFRP

RWTH Aachen University and is a continuous furnace. It operates in temperature of
1000 deg C, has four heat zones, a special electrostatic system that operates with
transformers of high voltage (150kV) and is used for catching nano product, and
additionally a separate vacuum pump system and aerosol generator. The
equipment can operate in hydrogen and acids like HCl, HNO3, H2S, NH3 and NaOH

As the company points out over 50 years of experience with vacuum brazing has
given them a knowledge which few others can match with the result that when the
company purchased a brand new Solar Manufacturing 2 bar vacuum furnace just
over a year ago and found that between this and their other vacuum furnaces they
had extra capacity the firm entered the commercial heat treating industry. While
they have started off slowly commercial heat treating has worked out very well for
the company and at the end of the day from what we can see it has been quite
successful mainly by concentrating on what their vast experience. One of the

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Striking a decidedly populist tone,
President Barack Obama stood in a resurrected factory
Wednesday, imploring lawmakers to work as hard as American
blue-collar workers as he pitched his plan to jump-start
manufacturing and expand opportunities for the middle class.
Hours after delivering his first State of the Union address of his
second term, Obama issued a new challenge to a nation still
picking itself up from an economic slump: "If you work full time,
you shouldn't be in poverty." "There's no magic bullet here, it's just some commonsense stuff. People still have to work hard," Obama said at an auto parts plant in
Asheville. He argued that just a few changes — like increasing the minimum wage,
investing in research and incentivizing companies to do business in the U.S. —
could go a long way toward a resurgence in American manufacturing. With sleeves
rolled up on his white dress shirt, Obama gazed up at giant, high-tech milling
machines, each the size of a small room — symbols of a dispirited American
manufacturing sector that Obama insisted can thrive once again. Joining him for the
tour were workers from Linamar Corp, a Canadian-based company that produces
heavy-duty engine and driveline components. The company moved in to a defunct
Volvo plant and has hired 160 workers at the Asheville plant, with plans to hire 40
more by the end of the year, Obama said.

generator modules arranged into a single array capable of producing a total of
13,500 CFH (382 m3) of endothermic gas. The new system will be installed in

Bodycote Share Pricing. If the share price of global heat treater Bodycote is any
indication of the state of the industry then we are indeed entering very good times.
As of today the share price stood at 513 pence (one of these days I should actually
figure out what a pence is worth in real money), this is up from 375 pence just
three months ago which is an amazing growth. Whether this has to do with the
acquisitions the company made in 2012, the general rise in stock prices,
anticipation of the upcoming financial results for the company or the fact that a
number of investors around the world have recently realized that commercial heat
treating can be a very profitable business or a combination of all of the above is
unknown to us (although we lean toward all of the above). One factor which we just
mentioned that can't be discounted is the fact that a number of investors have

10 years ago CI Hayes furnaces was sold to the Gasbarre Group in St. Marys, PA
while Hayes Heat Treating kept doing what they have been doing for almost 60
years-commercial heat treating under the ownership of Carl Hayes, the son of the
original founder. Hayes Heat Treating continues with their expertise which is
vacuum heat treating and vacuum carburizing with a mix which has proven
successful 1/3 aerospace work (NADCAP approved by the way), 1/3 medical and
1/3 automotive with 19 employees. For a fellow whose background is primarily
large volume automotive heat treating it is pretty strange to see 3 orders being
processed which in total weight less than 5 pounds but such is medical and some
aerospace heat treating. The photo below shows from the left Gord Montgomery,
Dale Montgomery, Steve Egan (General Manager) and Rich Houghton (QA Manager)

VMHT with working dimensions of 24" X 24" X 36", new SSI controls and a variable
speed fan which can be programmed according to temperature for better
temperature uniformity (Richs' eyes got a rather ecstatic glow to them when he
described this rather interesting feature). While Hayes Heat Treating and CI Hayes
are separate companies the two work closely together in developing new furnace
designs. Nice people and an interesting operation. From Hayes we will move on in

Vacuum Furnaces Operational in North America. Our continuing research into
the number of vacuum furnaces in operation in North America and around the world
keeps running up against a major obstacle, while we can with some degree of
accuracy figure out the number sold over the years-how many are still in operation?
Bill Jones of Solar Atmospheres sums up the dilemma. February 13/2013
“This seems to be the subject of considerable interest currently as outside sources
are seeking this information. The cold wall industrial vacuum furnace was
introduced to the greater metallurgical community in the mid to late 1950’s by
Brew, Hayes, and primarily Ipsen. These furnaces were built for the next 25 years,
and by others, prior to the knowledge of proper water treatment procedures or to
ASME design codes for vacuum chamber wall thickness requirements and other
specifications. As a result unless careful maintenance was followed most of these
furnaces have not survived 20 years after purchase because of corrosion attack to
the core vacuum chamber or other mechanical failure. Therefore, like typewriters
most of these early vacuum furnaces have either gone to the scrap yard or soon
will. So, even if one could reconstruct the manufacturing base numbers knowing
operational units is nearly impossible because of the above and additional
obsolescent issues. William R. Jones, CEO,Solar Atmospheres Inc.”

all of their products), 3 people in China which is a growing market for the company,
annual sales of about $10 million USD and growth of over 20% per year for the
past number of years it is a growing thriving company. Founded in 1956 and now
run by the founders son Mr. Dan Nanigian the company has changed over the past
decade from being known as a specialized engineered manufacturer to more of a
high volume supplier. A bit of trivia that we learned is that with the more
commodity type products (lower temperatures) labor is the largest cost component
whereas with the higher temperature products using more exotic materials labor
costs represent roughly 1/3 of the cost to produce. The photo below shows Dan

Vacuum Furnaces Worldwide. Since we started our mission to calculate the
number of vacuum furnaces in operation around the world we have received a
number of top notch suggestions. To date we have had comments on the site from
Bill St. Thomas of Seco Warwick and Janusz Kowalewski of AFC-Holcroft in China. In
addition to their comments we received a number of others from individuals who
would prefer to not have their names mentioned, which we will of course respect.
For the purposes of this informal market study we are considering only vacuum
furnaces in operation NOT the total number built over the years-we are guessing
probably a third that have been built over the years have been scrapped for a
number of reasons. The big question is the number built by Chinese companies for
local use. We are hearing this number is at least a thousand and possibly up to
2,000 but I doubt that anybody in the world has a very good grasp of this number.
Many of these copy cat furnaces are sold for well less than half of the price from an
established, well recognized furnace builder but as always you get what you pay
for. We are hearing that there are probably about 200-300 vacuum furnaces in
China currently that were built by US or European companies but we are still trying
to pin this down. Our research continues. February 12/2013
Recently a reader asked us where he could get 16' diameter parts
heat treated in a salt bath. We have no idea and would ask for our
readers suggestions. We were told that the largest salt baths in the
world are at a Babcock & Wilcox facility in the US but we have
not been able to confirm this. ArmorWorks Enterprises, LLC in
Chandler, AZ, USA has for quite some time been trying to peddle a
number of impressive vacuum furnaces some used and some new.
The problem is that they are for vacuum sintering and their
quenching characteristics are really not suitable for most heat
treaters. ArmorWorks makes ceramic body armor used by the US
military. New furnace builder Ipsen in Cherry Valley, IL, USA is
adding 6 new field service engineers. "Ipsen has announced that
they will be adding six new Field Service Engineers (FSEs) to their
already strong support crew, increasing their field service team by
25% to better support customers. The new FSEs are currently
participating in the Ipsen Corporate Academy (ICA), a three month
program designed to give each participant valuable tools to help
them adjust and excel. The program incorporates a number of
hands-on opportunities to build both their mechanical and electrical
skill sets, as well as test their problem-solving methods. They are
also receiving training specially aimed toward enhancing their
customer interaction skills by implementing best practices. A Research &

Approved Supplier for approved process sources D1-4426. The approved processes
include Lake City Heat Treating's quality system and heat treat of corrosion
resistant steel. Lake City recently made our news section when they purchased a
new vacuum furnace. Signature Vacuum in Meadville, PA, USA, is a vacuum
furnace rebuilder and new furnace builder that we know slightly. The company
recently shipped a tungsten carbide reclamation furnace to Kohsei Co., Ltd., in
Japan. The furnace utilizes the molten zinc reclamation process to produce friable
tungsten carbide. The unit is a two zone horizontal vacuum furnace designed to
operate under vacuum, partial pressure inert atmospheres and up to 5 psig. The
furnace is capable of processing 1000 kg per cycle. We had no idea the company
was into such state of the art systems but we are suitably impressed. Last week we
visited new furnace builder AFC-Holcroft in Wixom, MI one of the larger furnace
builders in North America and around the world. It was a sight to bring joy to any
furnace builders heart with numerous furnaces under construction including a multi
row pusher and several large batch IQ furnaces (photos below). Speaking of AFCHolcroft we will shortly have an interview with the President of the company Mr.

http://www.dowa.co.jp/index_e.html. The company just released their Fiscal 2012
Third Quarter results and while we don't for a second claim to be experts at reading
financial reports it doesn't look to us like the company is exactly setting the world
on fire when it comes to heat treating (that is of course an understatement from
what we can see). And to round things out for today we continue with our
estimates of the number of Vacuum Furnaces in Operation Around the World.
Today we have some excellent comments from Janusz Kowalewski of AFCHolcroft in China to help us in our quest. "Gord, To estimate correctly the vacuum
market size, first we should define vacuum furnace field. ALD is using two
categories to describe the vacuum fields: Vacuum Metallurgy and Vacuum Heat
Treatment. Vacuum Metallurgy covers processes for making high purity metals and
near shape parts under vacuum condition. This segment is huge by Dollar amount
and only few companies specializing in this field such as ALD, Consarc, SMS Mevac,
Vac-Long, Suzhou Zhenwu, KV - Titan, Antares, Arcom AB, Ulvac, Retech, AB
(ASEA) and Sinofonia Technology. Vacuum Heat Treatment is a field that most of
your readers are interested and covers processes that change metallic parts

vacuum furnace companies with sizable production. In China alone there are 30

Vacuum Furnaces Worldwide. Earlier this week we posted a brief note about our
quest to figure out the total number of vacuum furnaces in operation around the
world (please note that we are NOT interested in vacuum furnaces for industries
such as solar and crystals). We have had a number of very informed suggestions
such as the one below from Bill St. Thomas of Seco Warwick
st.thomas@secowarwick.com As Bill mentions he has been in this industry for some
time (actually a long time with all due respect to Bill) and we value his opinion.
Based upon Bill’s comments and a number of others we at “The Monty” feel that
we will be able to provide a fairly accurate estimate of the number of vacuum
furnaces currently in operation around the world by the end of next week. February

"Vacuum Furnaces- Worldwide...Gord great question about the number of vacuum
furnaces worldwide. Having sold many in the last 35 years while at Lindberg, Ipsen,
ECM and Seco Warwick my guess would be in the 8,000+ range. That number
represents each heating chamber built for all metallurgical processes such as:
brazing, sintering, annealing, hardening, carburizing and melting. In the North
American market my guess is there are about 5,000+ units currently operating
today. Current trends are for larger chambers, higher gas quench pressures and
www.themonty.com
vacuum furnace companies mostly small but at least two Chinese companies are
making around 80 vacuum furnaces per year. I will agree with 10,000 vacuum
furnaces are used currently worldwide. Long time ago Paul Heilmann from ALD and
after STS used the following estimate: 100 per year are sold in the US/Canada, 100
furnaces are sold in Europe and 100 furnaces are sold in the rest of the world. This
changed, Chinese companies currently manufacture between 300 to 500 vacuum
furnaces per year and 20 to 30 vacuum furnaces are imported into China. The US
and Europe markets demands most likely are the same as Paul has estimated."

Vacuum Furnaces. For reasons completely unbeknownst to us we have had over
the past few months over a half dozen companies approach us about how large the
worldwide vacuum furnace industry is, specifically how many single chamber
vacuum furnaces are currently in operation around the world? Our answer is not a
clue and I doubt that anybody knows this number but it did peak our curiosity. With
some degree of accuracy it could be estimated what the largest suppliers have built
over the years, companies such as Ipsen, BMI, Solar, TAV, VFS (now part of Ipsen),
Vac Aero, Centorr and a number of others but what about the thousands of knock
offs built by relatively unknown companies such as in China? Of course even if we
know the number built how many are still in operation? We are operating on the
assumption that the Ipsen 924 model which I believe they produced for 30 years
sold somewhere in the area of 3,000 over the years but this is at best an educated
guess. One company which approached us was guessing at 10,000 vacuum
furnaces currently in operation-maybe, maybe not. So we are going to ask a few
knowledgeable people in the industry, hope some of our readers can provide some
input and see where this takes us. Feel free to offer your thoughts anonymously or
not. February 5/2013

Generally we're not a big fan of auctions for surplus heat treating equipment.
Unless they are very well publicized the equipment quite often goes for a fraction of
what it is worth and we saw this just the other day. Beaver HT out in Oregon just
auctioned off some of their equipment due to moving to a new location and a lot of
the equipment went for virtually nothing in spite of the fact that there were some
very desirable items. Our opinion is that generally heat treat equipment auctions
are good for the buyer, bad for the seller. New furnace builder Can-Eng in Niagara
Falls, Canada just recently shipped a 700 pound/hour marquench line to a customer
in Mexico. Where are they now? Johnny Hatchet. We thought long time heat
treater Johnny Hatchett was a lifer in the industry but it turns out no. Johnny was
General Manager at Bluewater Thermal in Athens, Alabama (now Bodycote) but
he parted ways with the company and is now working for himself at Dixie Electric,
LLC as an Industrial and Electrical Contractor. The International Federation of
Heat Treating and Surface Engineering (IFHTSE which is a heck of a lot easier
to say than the full name) recently had a special issue of their magazine dedicated
to the Secretary of the organization Bob Wood who just turned 75. Well deserved
in our opinion as Bob is a top notch fellow. IFHTSE is a very
impressive organization but in our opinion is focused more towards
theory than actual heat treating. Automotive Racing Products
out in Santa Paula, California will be adding another Beavermatic
batch IQ furnace in the near future. Moving to the UK we have two
small heat treating tidbits. Alloy Heat Treatment, UK, has been
awarded Nadcap Merit status by the Nadcap Task Group for its
aluminum heat treating capabilities. This means that, instead of
having its next Nadcap audit in twelve months, AHT has been
granted an accreditation that lasts until July 31, 2014. Second
commercial heat treater "Wallwork Group" is pretty pleased with
their new website. "The Wallwork Group, has launched a new web
site (www.wallworkht.com) to bring together their complete
portfolio of services. Group companies major on metal heat
treatment, thermal processing, application of advanced coatings,
bespoke PVD coating equipment and temperature resistant
castings. In addition, the company's laboratory services research
new metal improvement processes including their development for
full scale production." And to round things out according to MTI
(Metal Treating Institute) 2012 was a better year for commercial
heat treaters in North America than 2011. "The Metal Treating Institute,
Jacksonville Beach, Fla., reports that total sales for the Metal Treating Industry for
the year 2012 amounted to $1002.3 million, a gain of 7.4% from 2011, when sales
for January-December totaled $933.5 million." We will point out that when you
include commercial heat treaters that do not belong to MTI the total sales will be
substantially higher. For instance Bodycote in North America who is not a member
must be getting pretty darn close to $300 million in sales in NA and this of course
would not be included in MTI figures. February 4/2013
Ed Boll/John Oakes. In our opinion Mr. Ed Boll of the Edward A. Boll Company in
Holland, PA is the best Heat Treat manufacturer’s representative in North America
(and that includes ourselves). Ed has been in this industry for as long as I can
remember covering the US Northeast and represents some
of the best known suppliers to the heat treat industry. I
never thought this would happen but Ed has teamed up with
another fellow, Mr. John Oakes who is actually the brother
of Mr. Jim Oakes of SSI (oxygen probes, control systems). I
have no doubt but that the two will work well together and
that by the time he is finished Ed will have John thoroughly
"whipped into shape". John will be concentrating on the New England area. The

http://www.bwen.com/BradFoote_8679.aspx In our opinion this has been a
successful venture for Brad Foote due to the fact that what they have to offer is
relatively unusual in the commercial heat treating industry, very large pit
carburizing furnaces. But should all captive heat treaters consider commercial heat
treating as an additional revenue stream? We offer up one other success and one
failure. Magna Powertrain in Syracuse, NY (since moved to Mexico) had a top
notch in house department which consisted of 14 multi-row pushers with state of
the art controls and a very complete knowledge of automotive heat treating. Their
experiment with commercial heat treating a number of years ago was not a success
due to the fact that they were trying to fill the furnaces with relatively low end heat
treating. The experiment ended after a year. On the other side of the coin Gleason
Works in Rochester, NY (press quenching systems, gear machines) has always had
an in house department and their experiment starting a few years back with
commercial heat treating has been a tremendous success. In their case we put this
down to the fact that few commercial heat treaters offer press quenching and
Gleason with their enormous inventory of dies and their "not to be beat" knowledge
of press quenching entered an area with little competition. Yes captives can turn
out to be good commercial heat treaters but only if they have a particular expertise
not readily available from other sources. Below you can see the in house heat
treating department of Brad Foote including the coolest furnace control room we
have ever seen. February 1/2013

Asian Furnace Builders. Recently we had comments about Asian furnace builders
and their ability to break into the European and North American heat treating
markets. Janusz Kowalewski of AFC-Holcroft in China responded to our thoughts
with some really interesting facts and figures about furnace builders around the
world. His comments are based upon the fact that he took it upon himself not that
long ago to put together a very comprehensive list of furnace builders around the
world. To his comments we will add these points. When he refers to the three
largest furnace builders having annual sales of $480 to $530 million USD he is of
course referring to Aichelin GesmbH in Austria, Ipsen in German and Seco Warwick
of Poland (Seco by the way aims to have $300 million USD in annual sales by
2016). Another point to mention is that the majority of these companies are private
or institutional investors and their sales figures are not published so any estimates
of the total size of the market is to some extent educated guesses. January

Intensive Quenching Workshop. April 24, 2013 IQ Technologies Inc., will be
holding a one-day workshop designed to provide you with an overview of the
IntensiQuench® processes and production IQ equipment, examine the data from
actual case studies, and give you a forum to discuss the use of intensive quenching
for your products, this will be held in Cleveland, Ohio. If you are not familiar with
IntensiQuench® it is a process which uses water as a quenching medium as
opposed to oil, water, salt or gas quenching. It is an interesting process, it has
been around for some time and it undoubtedly offers some very impressive
benefits. For one reason or another it is has not to date enjoyed widespread
acceptance in the worldwide heat treating industry but for those of you with an
open mind and interested in considering alternatives to oil, salt, gas or polymer
quenching this workshop would probably be of a great deal of interest. The photo
below shows from the left Mr. Joe Powell and Dr. Michael Aronov who are the
experts on the process and Mr. Gord Montgomery on the right. For further details I
would suggest contacting Joe at jpowell73@neo.rr.com January 31/2013

"On my furnace manufacturer list, there are 217 companies that include 90% to
95% of heat treatment furnaces made in the world. This list does not include
induction furnace companies, vacuum melting and companies specializing on
furnaces for the steel industry. Total annual sales of these 217 companies are
around $2.4 to $2.7 billion. The annual sales of the three biggest furnace
companies in the world are in range $480 to $530 million. The world 10 biggest
companies’ annual sales are in the range of $850 to $890 million. If we take to
consideration the number of furnaces built per year, some Chinese companies
should be included in the first 10 biggest furnace builders group. Fendong arguably
one of the biggest Chinese furnace company sales is in range $35 to $45 million.
The biggest Indian furnace company is about $12 to $15 million. Without question,
the strongest and most advanced furnace builders are located in the US, Canada,
Japan and four European countries. In the past twenty years, we can observe
worldwide an equalization of heat treatment competence and general furnace
designs. What are still missing from most Asian’s furnaces are quality components,
manufacturing process efficiency and technical documentation. Building furnaces
and heat treatment are considered a truly local market oriented industry. The
national electrical, environmental, safety codes and most importantly efficient
service and spare parts requirements favor the local companies. Only few furnaces
are designed from a global prospective, and these furnaces are manufactured in the
US and Europe. Material cost equalization between Asia and the USA will make 80%
of imported furnaces cost prohibitive to ship across Atlantic or Pacific. Some
furnaces that fit into standards 40 feet container will cross Atlantic and Pacific but
not in significant numbers. So, Gordy, you have historical and statistical data on
your side. We will not have a noticeable penetration of the US market by Asian
furnace companies any time soon."
Used Equipment
Listing Used Equipment
Want to get true market value for your used heat treating equipment? themonty.com is
the only way to do this! Unlike used equipment dealers we work on a commission basis
meaning no high overheads, no buy and resells, no high expenses which means that you as
a seller get what your equipment is worth-not what a used equipment dealer will pay you
for it. Not sure what your equipment is worth or how saleable it is? Let us know and we can
give you a free appraisal and an honest answer about market conditions-no BS. Before
listing we will require a signed copy of the "Terms and Conditions". Please use our Contact
Form or email Dale at dale@themonty.com all pertinent information including asking price
(which we strongly recommend) age, condition and if possible photos. When selling please
keep in mind that we do NOT ask for an exclusive sales agreement - if we don't sell it we
don't get paid - PERIOD. You can’t lose by listing with themonty.com we sell your
equipment or we don’t get paid-period.
Notice: We have attempted to describe all equipment accurately from the information we
have available. Any mistakes are unintentional. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the

At "themonty.com" you are guaranteed of finding the best priced used equipment in the
industry due to the fact that we do not buy and resell and have no associated costs. Instead
we put buyers and sellers together on a small commission basis meaning that at the end of
the day you are paying what equipment is worth-not equipment with a huge mark up
attached! In addition you generally can see the equipment installed, running and talk to the
actual operator far better than seeing a used furnace in the back of a dingy warehouse.
