Introduction
1) The largest captive heat treater in the world in one location is KAMAZ-Diesel/Naberejnye Chelny,
Russia. Kamaz is an auto and truck parts manufacturer who over the years has purchased over 50 brand
new multirow pushers, aluminum processing equipment and various other forms of furnaces from
Holcroft alone (AFC-Holcroft).
2) When it comes to commercial heat treating we believe the largest single location heat treater to be
privately owned SHU Schwäbische Härtetechnik Ulm who at their location in Ulm, Germany has well
over 500 employees and we would guess over 100 furnaces (although we gave up counting during our
last visit).
3) If we were betting people we would put good odds on KingKwang Heat Treatment near Shanghai,
China as being the largest single location heat treater in Asia.
4) The worldwide heat treating market is estimated at over $30 Billion USD/year with the US accounting
for $20 Billion of this figure. No wonder every single industry supplier in the world wants a piece of the
action.
5) When it comes to new furnace builders the largest in the world is Austrian based Aichelin GesmbH
(although Ipsen is darn near the same size). Please note that we are considering companies that
concentrate on heat treating furnaces as opposed to steel or glass making furnaces.
6) In the world of vacuum furnaces nobody comes close to Ipsen who have built anywhere up to 15,000
vacuum furnaces over the years.
7) No contest when it comes to commercial heat treating, the undisputed leader is Bodycote with over 190
plants in 26 countries.
8) Surface Combustion in the US has built over 2,000 of their immensely popular “Allcase” batch integral
quench furnaces over the past 60 years.
9) The largest pit carburizing furnace in the world with working dimensions of almost 18’ in diameter and
15’ deep is located at commercial heat treater REESE in Bochum, Germany.
10) Oxygen Probes were introduced to the heat treating market over 40 years ago and proved to be so
successful that it is now unusual to see a heat treating furnace anywhere in the world without one.
And there you have “Absolutely Useless (but interesting) heat treat trivia”. Let us all hope that one of
these days Heat Treating is a category on Jeopardy. Best regards, Gord

commercial heat treater REESE in Bochum, Germany. The company fascinated us because
of the size of the gears that the company can heat treat, up to 200“ in diameter which
means that they draw product from all around the world because of the lack of furnaces
large enough to be able to handle parts of this size. The gears shown in the photos below

Heat Treat Case Study. (Please note while the basic facts of this story are correct we have
made minor modifications to allow the companies in question complete anonymity). A
manufacturer in North America produces 30,000 to 40,000 components made of 17-4
Stainless Steel per year. The parts are approximately 4” long with a fairly small diameter.
The volumes are relatively consistent with lots sizes of roughly 500 pieces. Heat treating of
this material is described as such; "17-4 stainless steel is a martensitic, precipitationhardening stainless steel. At the solution treating temperature, 1900°F (1040°C), the metal

Operating and Maintaining Vacuum Furnaces: “Up-time” Considerations - Part 2. Vacuum
furnaces are in use around the world for brazing, sintering, and a variety of heat treating
processes because they give a high quality result with little contamination. Maximizing “uptime” is worth the effort. Keeping a vacuum furnace in peak operating condition requires
diligence in planning and maintenance. A properly engineered and maintained furnace will
give decades of “up-time” performance. This webinar will provide an overview of methods
for getting the most value from the vacuum furnace. In this webinar, you will learn about:
Monday Morning Briefing. We start off with Saw-chain maker and captive heat treater
Blount International Inc., out in the Portland, Oregon USA area. Blount manufacturers
chain and bar at locations in Guelph, Ontario Canada and in the Portland area. In 2008 the
company acquired competitor the Carlton Company resulting in two plants in the Portland
area. Due to declining sales the company recently laid off 200 employees and will
consolidate the two Oregon plants which includes moving the heat treating department. The
company operates top notch heat treating facilities which concentrate on rotary retort and
mesh belt style heat treating. In India we understand that captive heat treater Uniports
Company a manufacturer of computer components suffered a fire in their heat treat
department which sent four workers to the hospital and which took over two hours to get
under control. Ironically (as the company makes computer components) the fire was
blamed on a short circuit. Again staying in India it would appear that aircraft components
manufacturer Mahindra Aerospace said it has inaugurated a 25,000 square meters
aerostructures manufacturing facility near Bangalore. We have been lead to believe that this
includes vacuum furnaces but this is unconfirmed.
In Poland SECO/WARWICK tells us about an order they just received from an Italian
company. The thing that amazes me about SECO is that it appears there is not one single
style of furnace that the company does not make. "SECO/WARWICK has received an order
for an aluminium annealing furnace that features a simple, compact design and an
innovative loading system that does not require power. The furnace is for an Italian
company operating in the heating market. The contract includes the supply of a furnace for
annealing of aluminum tubes along with the control system, supervision of installation,
commissioning, transfer devices and staff training. The simple design of the furnace ensures
reliability and low operating costs. A unique system for loading and unloading does not
require electricity and can be operated manually by one person. The compact design does
not require expensive foundations and permits the furnace to be placed directly on a shop
floor. Also, the furnace can be relocated without complete disassembly". While this press
release would appear to be of little interest to most heat treaters it caught our eye because
www.themonty.com
is austenitic but undergoes transformation to a low-carbon martensitic structure on cooling
to room temperature. This transformation is not complete until the temperature drops to
90°F (32°C). Subsequent heating to temperatures of 900 to 1150°F (480 to 620°C) for one
to four hours precipitation strengthens the alloy. This hardening treatment also tempers the
martensitic structure, increasing ductility and toughness". In this particular case the
manufacturer is considering bringing the process in house only because of the distance to
the closest commercial heat treater (this manufacturer is very happy with his heat treater it
is the distance that is an issue). The question in this case is does it make sense to bring this
heat treating in house to save on travel distance? Our conclusion is that while the volume is
relatively small it would make complete sense. The furnace required is relatively low
temperature (1150F), no atmosphere is required, no oil or polymer quenching and the
furnace is small, probably not much more than a couple of feet square. Investment is small,
footprint is small and as the parts are always exactly the same with the same process and
once the cycle is set it is easily repeatable even by an inexperienced operator. A no brainer
in our opinion-bring it in house and thank the commercial shop for all their help over the
years. October 29/2013
And to conclude things for today we have this report about a recent heat
treat seminar in Istanbul, Turkey which comes from Andy Chen of
PowerMax Furnaces in China. "The 4th HTS in Istanbul Turkey has
been the largest event in the Turkish heat treatment field for the past
four years. Mr. Baris Telseren is the chairman, who is also the general
manager of Bodycote Istal, a group of 4 heat treatment plants. With his
charm and effort, this symposium was attended by over 200 experts, professors, students,
relevant suppliers and most of the heat treater in Turkey. All participants were very
enthusiastic about the symposium. As part of the symposium, there was a small scale trade
show with 13 booths. Marc Ruetsch of AFC-Holcroft, Europe and I were very honored to be
invited to attend this big event and be the Silver Sponsor. Turkey is a rapidly growing heat
treating market with technology that can rival most areas of the world". October 28/2013

if you remember a few years back VSMPO installed a couple of the world’s largest most
advanced carbottom vacuum furnaces from a US supplier at their plant in
Russia. “Alcoa and Russia's VSMPO-AVISMA Corp., one of the world's
largest manufacturers of titanium ingots and forged products, agreed to
join forces to meet growing demand for high-end titanium and aluminum
products for aircraft manufacturers”. In Europe one of the largest
commercial heat treaters Aalberts Industries based in the Netherlands
just released third quarter results for 2013 which tended to look fairly
positive. A quick scan didn’t really tell us too much about their heat
treating results except that they tend to be in line with the company as a
whole. Details can be found at http://www.aalberts.nl/en One thing we
did note is that the share prices have been doing well over the past year.
Pfeiffer Vacuum announced that they have a new President a Mr.
Robert Campbell. Pfeiffer Vacuum is a fairly well known supplier of
vacuum pumps for the vacuum furnace industry but as far as we can tell
still one of the smaller players.
Parker Trutec. While the press release below is interesting in and by itself the background
is what is most interesting. The parent company of Parker Trutec is a Japanese company by
the name of Nihon Parkerizing which offers surface and heat treatment services around
the world although the company is best known in Asia. We have consistently rated the
company as one of the five largest commercial heat treaters in the world largely because of
their salt heat treating based on the former Degussa Tennifer (MELONITE) technology.
While the name might not be well known in North America when you see the sales figures
for North America below you can recognize that this is a large well run company. October
28/2013
"Springfield, Ohio- Trutec Industries Inc., and subsidiary MMI-Trutec Inc., have announced
the companies will now operate under a new company name of Parker
Trutec, at the same time the company will unveil their new logo, and
website address www.parkertrutec.com. The company’s ownership under
Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd. remains unchanged as does the companies
staff. President Bill Moore said, “Our leadership team believes the unified
branding more closely associates Trutec Industries, and MMI-Trutec with
our parent company Nihon Parkerizing Co. Ltd., one of the largest metal
protection companies in the world. Since founding more than 85 years
ago, the Nihon Parkerizing group today operates 87 global processing
facilities in 16 countries”. The newly named Parker Trutec Group operates
5 facilities in North America, providing metal protection services
including, heat treatment, surface coatings, and chemical blending, to the
automotive, appliance, and firearms industries. The current Parker Trutec
facilities are located in Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Aguascalientes,
MX. with yearly revenues of $50,000,000.00 U.S. Dollars.
The Parker Trutec group began operations in Urbana, Ohio in 1988,
followed by the Springfield, Ohio plant in 1989, the MMI-Trutec facilities
in Tennessee and Arkansas were acquired in 2003, and the

Gas carburizing at atmospheric pressure without surface damage. At first glance,
the heat treatment specialist may think, there must be a contradiction
or a misprint embedded in the statement of the title. This is actually not
the case. For many years experts from industry and university worked
in order to make the controlled gas carburizing precise and reliable. The
success was outstanding: by means of an oxygen probe a C level can
be controlled and regulated. Together with the diffusion calculation a
defined carburizing depth as well as surface carbon content can be set
precisely. Unfortunately, the established gas carburizing procedure has
the disadvantage that for control reasons one can work only in
carburizing atmospheres, which contain oxygen. That leads inevitably to
a damage of the component surface in the form of surface oxidation. In
a joint research project, Rohde Schutzgasöfen GmbH and the
Foundation IWT Bremen systematically investigated carburizing gases,
which could reduce or avoid the surface oxidation completely. In order
to suppress damage by the effusion of manganese and also to keep
investment costs low, research has been conducted specifically at
atmospheric pressure. Recent heat treatment results in an industrial
plant offer a promising perspective. With pulsed atmospheric nitrogenacetylene processes 1 mm CHDs were reproducible accomplished with
18CrNiMo7-6 (1.6587) avoiding surface oxidation almost completely.
The left side of the picture shows the distribution of hardness in the
distance to the surface and the metallic micrograph on the right side of
the picture verifies that there is neither surface oxidation nor carbide
precipitation. The material shows a high hardness up to the outermost edge. The procedure
opens the possibilities to case-harden components without surface damage up to large
CHDs: no surface oxidation, no manganese effusion, and no carbide precipitation. This
automatically leads to higher component quality and in many cases surely to increasing
component lifetime. Even the so possible elimination of the final hard machining of
components can contribute to further increase of the efficiency. This method was presented
at the HK2012 in Wiesbaden in the presentation of Mr. Bischoff, et al.
www.themonty.com
Vacuum Carburizing (Without the Vacuum). The rather technical press release below
comes from German furnace builder ROHDE Schutzgasöfen GmbH working in conjunction
with the Foundation IWT Bremen a research institute in Bremen, Germany that we
profiled a couple of weeks ago. The advantages of low pressure vacuum carburizing are well
known and we do not need to elaborate upon them. However according to this press release
similar results can be achieved in an airtight sealed quench furnace using a nitrogen
atmosphere to remove all oxygen as opposed to using a vacuum to remove the oxygen. The
system described below and shown in the photo below has been in operation at German
commercial heat Treater Hanomag at their Hanover plant since May of 2013 (by the way
Hanomag is one of the 5 largest commercial heat treaters in the country. The gases used
are acetylene and nitrogen and the control system uses two mass flow meters in
conjunction with a Siemens S7 PLC. October 25/2013
1) Ed in my opinion you are one of the most professional, experienced reps in the
industry and with all due respect have certainly been in the business longer than
most. How did you get started?
"Gord, thank you for the compliment. One of my first jobs after college was with a
company in Philadelphia that made metal mesh belts. Their primary markets were captive
and commercial heat treaters, sintering, etc. They exclusively used independent
manufacturers representatives as their sales force. As an application engineer I got to travel
and work with them and became intrigued with the concept. Fast forward about 12 years,
after working as a sales engineer for several companies, I had the opportunity to establish
myself as a independent representative. A company called Lumsden Corp in Lancaster Pa
offered to put me on a draw against commissions to help me get started. Six months later I
dropped the draw and never looked back. Thirty five years later I still represent them and
am still appreciative of the opportunity they gave me."
2) What product lines do you cover and what is your territory?
"We cover from Virginia up to and including New England. This also includes the eastern half
of Pa and NY states. Our products include new capital equipment (furnaces, atmosphere
control systems, etc) as well as replacement components (high nickel alloy fabrications,
castings, belts, etc). We're pretty well covered as far as product mix goes that we can offer
to our customers."
3) I gather you recently started working with another fellow, Mr. John Oakes.
How is this working out and does this mean you are planning retirement?
"He is working out fine. John is an experienced industrial salesman who knows what it is to
travel and be away from home. The only problem I'm having is with my ego, when he sells

Ed Boll Interview. Most suppliers to the heat treating industry in North America use
manufacturers representatives who are independent sales agents working on a commission
basis who cover all of their related expenses. The pluses and minuses of Manufacturers reps
are well documented and we feel no need to bring up this debate today. Suffice to say that
in our opinion one of the best is Mr. Ed Boll in the US Northeast. Here we have a brief
interview with Ed. October 24/2013
an account that I couldn't. I get over it when we get the commission check. As far as
retiring we have a tentative date no later than the end of 2014."
4) What is typical heat treating in your territory? Aerospace? Automotive? Energy?
5) Would you say the bulk of heat treating in your area is captive or commercial?
"I don't know the exact statistics but would say we have about an equal amount of both."

Ipsen Press Release. "CHERRY VALLEY, IL – The recent tightening of process regulations,
such as Nadcap and AMS 2750E, have been in the spotlight for a few months now.
Customers looking to ensure that their production lines make the cut are reevaluating
maintenance best practices. Ipsen’s Engineered Components Group has been hard at work
collaborating with customers for cost-effective and compliant-capable solutions to keep
production up and running. Aerospace, Commercial Heat Treating and other industries
affected by the recent specification changes are focusing their time and energy on compliant
controls, hot zone retrofits, increasing process control and improving temperature
uniformity. Previously, companies were able to sustain compliancy by making slight tweaks
and changes to their current hot zone or by simply replacing their thermocouples. Some
regulation updates now require temperature uniformity testing after every alteration, so hot
zone replacement cannot be delayed the way it had been in the past should that hot zone
perform below set standards. This has certainly drawn the attention of brazing customers
who are now investing more resources in hot zone retrofits, due to the destructive nature of
the process to the integrity of the hot zone.
A recent article featuring Ipsen’s advanced controls systems outlines how advanced controls
technology can give you the operational flexibility needed to measure and analyze your
equipment and processes with ease. You can then use that analysis to refine and adjust the
settings and parameters of your equipment to enhance your process. With advanced
controls, this optimization is simple and also ensures less human error in the production
process because it eliminates several manual processes, automating them for precise,
repeatable control. Read the article at http://bit.ly/IHControls to find out more about stateof-the-art controls technology and how it can help you refine your processes as well as meet

Surface “Super 30” Allcase Furnaces. Yesterday we listed on this website on our batch
page a used Super 30 Allcase furnace. Nothing unusual about that except for the asking
price of $125,000 USD. This unit is approximately 20 years old, will come with updated
controls, good alloy, good brickwork and as it is a newer unit has dual quench cylinders a
design change Surface made many years ago which is the preferred design by all users. All
in all the asking price considering the condition and age is reasonable and I have no doubt
but that the vendor will end up with close to his asking price. Listing this furnace made us
consider the history of the Allcase furnace which we would hazard a guess is the most
common type of heat treating furnace in North America. Surface Combustion of Maumee,
Ohio started building this design over 60 years ago with the end result that over 2,000 have
been installed over the years in different sizes with the most common being the “Super 30”
which usually has working dimensions of 30” wide X 48” deep X 30” high (although Surface
did produce a number with a working height of 24”). As Allcase furnaces are relatively
uncommon outside of North America we should add a couple of points for readers outside of
North America. While in NA this design is called a batch integral quench furnace in Europe
and Asia they are usually called a sealed quench furnace. Again for readers more familiar
with metric this converts for about 762mm wide X 1219mm deep X 762mm high. The
furnace is so common and so widely used in North America that it is unusual to find an
atmosphere heat treater that has not at one time or another operated an Allcase furnace
and while the design is relatively unchanged except for controls and recuperated burners it
is still pretty much like the first units built. It was predicted a number of years ago that this
size of furnace would disappear in favor of larger furnaces but the recession changed this
and demonstrated that smaller furnaces were more useful with fluctuating volumes. While
the trend these days is certainly towards larger sizes such as 36” X 48” X 36” and 36” X 72”
X 36” it appears that the Super 30 is not going to be disappearing any time in the near
future and as you can see they still command a high asking price largely due to the
shortage on the used market. At the risk of appearing mercenary if you have a surplus
Super 30 please let us know as there has never been a better time to sell one of these
“workhorses”. The photo below shows a typical Super 30 installed in the Cleveland area.
Well used, electric in this case but basically in good operating condition. October 22/2013

Interested in another interview with Mr. Stephen Harris, CEO of commercial heat treater
Bodycote? We have a very abbreviated version below of a recent interview and the entire
article can be found at http://www.gtglobaltrader.com/news/mexico-china-how-bodycoteshowed-its-expo "As someone who, while pursuing his favorite sport of skiing in Austria,
avoided an avalanche by the skin of his teeth, Bodycote chief executive Stephen Harris is a
man who is used to facing disasters. But nothing could prepare him for the disaster that was
the financial crash of 2008. Having spent an extended sabbatical on the ski slopes of
America, Europe and Japan following his tenure as a divisional boss of specialist instruments
company Spectris, 55-year-old Stephen – who has an engineering
degree from Cambridge and an MBA from Chicago University - was
tempted back into the industrial milieu by a headhunter who would not
take no for an answer. What could possibly go wrong, especially at a
company that was thriving? “I signed my contract two weeks before the
Lehmann Brothers crash – imagine that! So when I turned up for work,
the whole world had fallen apart. “There was me thinking I was coming
in to do this and that, but was told to get the bilge pumps out because
the company was sinking,” laughs Stephen, from his HQ office which
overlooks the rolling foothills of the Pennines on the edge of Macclesfield
in Cheshire". Fairly recently we mentioned how Certified Heat
Treating in Dayton, Ohio had purchased another commercial heat
treater by the name of Heat Treating, Inc., in Springfield, Ohio. We
have these additional details which includes the sale purchase price.
"SPRINGFIELD — The city reached an employment incentive agreement
with a West Carrollton-based business that recently purchased a similar
business here to keep 20 jobs and $890,000 worth of annual payroll in
the city. West Carrollton’s Certified Heat Treating Inc. made a $2.1
million investment this month to purchase Heat Treating Inc., 1807 W.
Pleasant St., according to public documents. On Tuesday night,
Springfield commissioners approved the incentive agreement with
Certified Heat Treating. The city will pay the business $18,690 over a
three-year period beginning in 2014, if the business maintains its 20
employees during that time. “We’re excited about the ability to service more customers,”
said Certified Chief Executive Officer Chuck Biehn. “We hope to make a lot more
investment.” Heat treating is metalworking process used to alter the physical properties of a
material. The merger will provide Certified the capacity to treat up to 150,000 additional
pounds of material each day".

Monday Morning Briefing. First up we have learned that Stackpole based in Ancaster,
Ontario, Canada has been sold. This caught our attention because at one point (to use a
worn out phrase) Stackpole was truly a pioneer in the use of low pressure vacuum
carburizing for powdered metal parts. Going back 15 years their location in Mississauga,
Ontario had 5 Ipsen continuous vacuum carburizing systems, two CI Hayes systems all of
which were followed by an ALD Modutherm furnace making them the largest vacuum
carburizing location in the world at that time. While most of the furnaces are long since
gone the ALD Modutherm line continues to turn out parts. “Stackpole International Sold
to Crestview Partners. The Sterling Group, a private-equity firm based in Texas,
completed the sale of its portfolio company, Stackpole International, to funds managed by
Crestview Partners. Sterling had acquired Stackpole through a corporate carve-out from
Tomkins in August 2011. Headquartered in Ancaster, Ontario, Stackpole is a manufacturer
and supplier of highly engineered oil pumps and powder-metal components to automotive
original equipment manufacturers”. Commercial heat treater Century Sun in Traverse City,
Michigan who recently had a fire will be auctioning off the damaged equipment in the near
future. When we have more details we will let you know.
Remix. Based in Poland, Remix has been in the heat treatment and foundry industries for
over 20 years and is one of the largest players in the Russian market. The company is a
partner of AFC-Holcroft and is growing rapidly in the vacuum field. Karol Forycki (second
from the left) is an interesting fellow who deserves further mention. He has been in the
automotive industry for 35 years half of that time working for Opel, GM and Delphi, leading
their expansion into Eastern Europe & Russia. In 2005 he was asked by Bodycote's Jan
Elwart to help the company in their expansion into the Eastern European markets, working
with 20 heat treatment shops in the area. Together with Thomas Wingens he left Bodycote
in 2011 establishing in Germany a Joint-Venture with a Polish furnace manufacturer and
building the company's name in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and
Netherlands. In a short time the company became well known but shortly thereafter the two
sold their 49% stake in the company. Since that time (and in Karol's words) "Since 2013 I
have concentrated on the growth of my own FOKA ENGINEERING business (consultancy &
engineering in the automotive and heat treat industry), a company founded 12 years ago.
We are member in the recently established GLOBAL HEAT TREATMENT NETWORK and we
are organizing that network here in Europe. This is a unique and manufacturer's
independent sales, service and consulting organization with 80 Senior Experts around the

Captive/Commercial heat treater ESCO a supplier of components largely for the aerospace
industry recently ordered for gas fired furnaces from Nutec Bickley. The furnaces are
identical in size, with inside dimensions of 8 feet wide x 8.5 feet deep x 9.5 feet high. The
units have a wide temperature range (300-2100°F) and will be used to process steel
foundry products. The furnaces will be up and running early 2014 at ESCO's Newton, Miss.,
facility. We hear that flow meter specialists Atmosphere Engineering in Milwaukee has
just signed up a very experienced field service individual Mr. Brian Harshaw. And to round
things out we move to the UK where commercial heat treater Alloy Heat Treatment (AHT)
is stepping in to tackle demand for heat treatment in the Southern UK following the closure
of a major aviation firm offering commercial heat treating last year. AHT has almost 30
years experience in heat treating aerospace components and was awarded the NADCAP
Merit Status last year. Obviously the company has recognized an opportunity. October

REESE Harterei/Germany. Over the years I have yet to see a small heat treat operation
in Germany and we put this down to geography. Germany has a large concentration of
manufacturers in a relatively small area with over 50% of total heat treating capacity
dedicated to the automotive industry. The result is that heat treaters either grow to meet
demand or perish on the vine which is quite different from the US, Chinese or Indian
markets where smaller heat treats can prosper because of small localized markets with vast
geographical distances in between. Commercial heat treater REESE (whose ad can be found
on this page) is a typical example of a large German commercial heat treater with 4
locations and hundreds of employees. Founded in 1948 it remains a family owned company
which offers every single heat treating process that our imagination can come up with. We
were only able to see the Bochum location (headquarters by the way) which consists of two
plants, the original going back a number of years with the newer plant being less than 10
years old the centerpiece being the largest pit carburizing furnace we have ever run across.
Built by German furnace builder Rhode the furnace went into operation approximately 2
years ago which represents an investment of over 20 million Euros. Working dimensions of
the unit are 5.5 meters diameter (a little under 18’), 5 meters depth (about 15’) and a
capacity of 100,000 pounds working with an endothermic atmosphere. The furnace was
built with an eye to very large gears and shafts for such industries as wind power, steel
mills and ship building. While the basic details are interesting to read nothing approaches
the photos below. For more information;

Tuesday Morning Briefing. US governments cutbacks that went into effect earlier this
year and an upcoming potential shut down of the US government have led to many captive
and commercial heat treaters speculating about whether these events will have an impact
on the industry. Until recently we have seen no concrete examples of setbacks to the
industry until a reader just yesterday send us an article from the Dallas Morning News about
Bell Helicopter. "Last month, Fort Worth-based Bell Helicopter laid off 290 employees and
85 contractors because of federal spending cuts — and more layoffs could come in 2014,
company officials said. Bell, in partnership with Boeing Corp., makes the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft for the U.S. military". The article went on to specifically mention the in house
heat treating department of Bell and that it was already feeling the effects. While it is
uncertain how many heat treaters have already seen a slowdown because of the cuts you

While we are on the topic of Germany the rumors at the recent show in Wiesbaden were
flying with the most interesting having two large furnace builders in Europe up for sale and
a potentially very large acquisition again in the furnace building business. At least one we
know to be true but beyond that we had better wait until we having something more
definite to go on. In recent new furnace orders we can mention a few. The first concerns
EFD Induction who recently received an order for an automatic induction hardening and
quenching system from NSK of Japan, a manufacturer of bearings. The system, which is
for automotive components, is scheduled for delivery before the end of this year. The order
marks the first time EFD Induction has sold a system made at one of its manufacturing
centers in China to a Japanese customer for use in Japan. Premier Furnace Specialists in
Michigan a furnace rebuilder/builder received an order for a gas-fired box normalizing and
annealing furnace from a manufacturer in Illinois. The effective load size is 10 feet wide x 8
feet deep x 4 feet high with a 4,000-pound capacity. Premier is owned by a fellow by the
name of Don Selmi who has been in the business for quite some time. Lucifer Furnaces
Inc., in Warrington, PA who concentrates on fairly specialized furnaces designed and built a
heat-treating box furnace for use with inert atmosphere for stress relief of springs under
www.themonty.com
can be sure that Bell is not the only company that will be effected. And speaking of in house
heat treating another reader sent us this article about the Costs Associated with a
Captive Heat Treat. "In many companies, utility cost is an orphan. I
remember one plant tour where the VP of manufacturing took me aside
and said in a conspiratorial tone, “Here is where we actually make all our
profits.” He was referring to the heat treatment department of the huge
transmission plant he ran. “We run seven days a week here, regardless
of how busy the rest of the plant is. We pull in work from all over the
Detroit metro area and mark it up by several times our cost. Our total
profit in the heat treat is more than the net profit for the whole plant.”
“That’s amazing,” I said. “Just so I understand — how is the cost of gas
for heat treatment charged?” “Oh, that doesn't’t matter,” he replied. “It’s
all in overhead.” I wish I could relate that his face went white at this
point and that he ran to accounting to see how much cost he was
ignoring in his pricing model. I can’t, though. He had answered the
question to his own satisfaction". Now this article struck a chord as I can
remember a gear manufacturer in the US telling me exactly the same
thing a couple of years ago. The point is that in spite of the fact that heat
treating represents roughly 10% of the total cost of most manufactured
products many captives do not have a firm grasp about what the actual
costs are. Moving to Germany we see that Mr. Jan Elwart who has
spent his entire working life in the commercial heat treating industry
most recently as one of the top people with Bodycote will be retiring as
of Jan. 1, 2014. The photo below shows Jan and his successor Mr. Peter
Selback who will be President GNA (Germany, Netherlands, Austria), AGI (Automotive and
General Industry Division).

Rohde/Germany. By rights we should have called this news item "Is there a place for
small to medium sized furnace builders"? Over the years we have seen some
consolidation of furnace builders with the world's largest getting larger through acquisitions.
Rohde with 22 employees would certainly be classified as a small to medium sized builder
but over the past few years the company has grown and prospered showing that there is a
place for furnace builders which are smaller, more nimble and able to react quickly. While
historically the company has concentrated on retort style furnaces (and not that long ago
installed what is the largest pit carburizer we have seen) Rohde also recently built their first
vacuum nitrider and has always had a strong product in their line of salt reclamation
systems an example of which can be seen in the photo below. In recent news about the
company plans are in place to move to a new location mid next year which will be double

IWT/Bremen, Germany. A holdover from my younger school days is that colleges,
universities and institutes of any form still make me nervous so I reluctantly accepted an
invitation from the Foundation Institute of Materials Science (IWT) in Bremen, Germany. As
it turns out I would have regretted not visiting this institute and I am sure that any heat
treater would feel the same. Very briefly IWT is an institute funded by private companies
and the German government to research various fields one of which is heat treating. To this
end IWT has installed over 12 different styles of heat treating equipment including Plasma
Nitriding, Gas Nitriding, Vacuum Carburizing, Induction, Batch carburizing equipment,
Vacuum Hardening, Salt and several other processes all in the form of very new state of the
art furnaces. IWT’s objective is that when approached by a manufacturer on a heat treating
question they are able to offer solutions based upon past knowledge backed up with testing
in the latest and greatest heat treating equipment available. Their list of current and past

Hanomag Lohnharterei/Hannover, Germany. We would hazard the guess that the
average commercial heat treat in Germany is far larger than in most countries and generally
they are based upon the automotive industry and to a lesser extent the energy sector with
wind power being a significant component. This generalization fits to a "T" commercial heat
treater Hanomag one of the five largest in the country with 5 plants around Germany, 430
employees and headquarters in Hannover. The company offers virtually every type of
process including large pusher carburizers, automated batch IQ lines, vacuum, pit
carburizing, aluminum, low pressure vacuum carburizing and Induction. The photos below
show the Hannover location and the General Manager, Mr. Dennis Wammes who like many
in this industry has followed in his father's footsteps. Recent years have been good for the
company with the recent addition of a large aluminum processing line (which will be
expanded in the near future), plans for a new location in Poland in 2014 concentrating on
aluminum processing and very definite thoughts of further locations around Europe and
possibly North America. You heard it here first. October 10/2013

Wiesbaden, Germany. Taking advantage of the upcoming German Heat Treating show in
Wiesbaden later this week we are taking the opportunity to see several captive and
commercial heat treaters in Northern Germany. To start off we have a photo of the staff of
furnace builder Rohde in Hanau, Germany and also a picture of what we would consider the
largest pit carburizing furnace in the world in a commercial heat treat shop. This monster
has a working diameter of almost 17’, a depth of 15 feet and a capacity of 100,000 pounds.
This is a very recent install and is located in a brand new building along with all associated
equipment. Give us a few days and we will have a full story about Rhode and also the
installation and details surrounding this enormous pit furnace installation. October 08/2013

Met-Tek/Beaver Heat Treat. So are heat treaters nicer than most
people? When you read a story such as this you have to think so. Beaver
Heat Treat Corporation (now known as Thermal Modification Techologies or
TMT) is a medium sized commercial shop located in Portland, Oregon that
just last year was forced to relocate due to a planned lightrail extension.
As you would expect this was a mammoth undertaking and while things went fairly
smoothly there were some issues such as the companys' new location not being ready when
the equipment had to be removed from the original building. Not a good situation but
competitor Jerry Shriner, owner of commercial heat treat Met-Tek just down the road in
Clackamas, Oregon stepped up the plate and offered part of his premises to Beaver to set
up their equipment until such time as the new building was completed and ready to receive
equipment by their new infra-structure. Jerry Shriner of Met-tek and Chris Tobin of Beaver
Heat Treating Corp. are longtime friends as well as business associates. The result was
Beaver moving and installing 2 batch IQ furnaces, related equipment and Induction systems
into the Met-Tek plant all of which was operated by six Beaver employees for a period of
several months. Keep in mind that the two companies compete on a daily basis and in some
cases actually share the same customers. I have heard of competitors loaning items such as
radiant tubes and fans on an occasional basis but this goes above and beyond anything we
have run across before.Tobin and Shriner both realize there is enough work in the region to
support both full service heat treat plants and consider their niche of industry family.
Having said that if you have ever met Jerry Shriner this would not come as an enormous
surprise. Restores your faith in your fellow man doesn't it? October 07/2013

Kentucky Heat Treating/Central Kentucky Processing. This past Friday we alluded to
the fact that we were going to mention another acquisition within the commercial heat
treating industry in North America. Acquisition was perhaps overstated but here is the story.
Located in Winchester, Kentucky, Kentucky Heat Treating describes itself as such;
“Kentucky Heat Treating Co., founded in 1967, provides many types of heat treating
services including tool & die, annealing, normalizing, neutral hardening, carburizing,
carbonitriding, & ferritic nitrocarburizing. KHT also provides barrel and rack zinc phosphate”
To this statement we can add that the company has made some very impressive purchases
in the past few years including brand new vacuum furnaces and new batch IQ furnaces.
What happened recently was that the company bought the assets of another commercial
shop in Kentucky by the name of Central Kentucky Processing which was quite a modest
operation. The result is that Kentucky Heat Treating is keeping the nicer items, selling off
the older equipment and Central Kentucky Processing will be closed. While Kentucky is not a
hotbed of manufacturing we would have to assume that this market will grow as companies
in the Northern US and Canada move to the lower cost areas of the US southeast. October

this press release perhaps a sign of this or are we reading too much into this? Next Monday
we will also be mentioning another small acquisition. October 04/2013
Solar Atmospheres Press Release. Solar Atmospheres of Western PA (SAWPA) has
extended the hot zone load dimensions in their largest commercial vacuum furnace from
60-inches-wide to 80 inches-wide. When faced with the possibility of processing catalyst
retention screens that were 80-inch-wide, Solar needed to take advantage of the 84-inchwide potential in the furnace.
Working together with their sister company Solar Manufacturing, they were able to
accomplish their goal by designing taller graphite load rails to fully support the 80-inch-wide
load. “This new tooling gives us a significant opportunity to gain new customers while
offering additional furnace capabilities to our existing customers” says Michael Johnson,
Sales Manager for Solar Atmospheres of Western PA. “Due to the versatility and stability of
our car bottom design, we have always realized an advantage over our competition, but
now we can utilize the maximum width-capacity of the furnace safely and efficiently.”

Applied Thermal Technologies/Warsaw, Indiana. When I entered the world of heat
treating at the ripe old age of 21 it never, ever occurred to me that at some point in the
future I would actually enjoy seeing heat treat shops but that is exactly what happened and
based upon the reputation of Applied Thermal I looked forward to a recent visit at their
company. The basic background is that the company was founded in 1992 by Mickey
Bradican who remains the president and from rather humble beginnings it has grown to 35
employees and over 22,000 square feet making it probably double the size of the average
commercial heat treat in North America. It has a narrow focus which has probably made it
as successful as it is-vacuum heat treating and brazing largely for the medical industry and
aerospace industry (the company is NADCAP approved by the way). If you are looking for

Joseph A. Powell, President of IQT and AST, told the attendees how "intensive water +
timed air quenching" (IntensiQuench®) works to improve material properties versus oil,
polymer, high pressure gas and traditional water quenching methods. The Ford group saw
the IntensiQuench batch and single-part quenching systems used at EHT. Dr. Michael
Aronov, CEO of IQT, presented part case studies detailing the application of
the IntensiQuench process and the many ways that IntensiQuench can reduce part costs,
increase part performance and at the same time improve the environmental efficiencies of
Ford's heat treating processes.
Applications of IQT's high-velocity IntensiQuench
process to
"case
hardened"
parts
made
from Optimal
Hardenability
Steels
(OHIQ®), for complete elimination of the carburization process, was also discussed. Since
OHIQ allows single-part flow for heat treating case hardened parts within the manufacturing
cell, the technology is of interest to all the automotive manufacturers." October 1/2013
