monster Lindberg Hi <strong>Heat</strong> Gantry furnace which can be seen below. This thing<br />
has working dimensions of 72" diameter and 16' high and can handle parts up to<br />
15,000 pounds. Additional equipment includes a couple of generators and a few<br />
other pit furnaces including a large salt quench. While Goodrich does some heat<br />
treating in house a great deal is outsourced. I can't imagine a used equipment<br />
dealer buying something so specialized but you never know. We will be curious to<br />
know where this ends up. April 8/2013<br />
Moving to Brazil we see that commercial heat treater TÊCNOTEMPERA, a<br />
commercial heat treater, in Santa Catharina in southern Brazil just successfully<br />
started up their first vacuum furnace. This was purchased from Seco/Warwick<br />
and has working dimensions of 600 mm x 600 mm x 950 mm and 12 bar nitrogen<br />
quenching. Apparently the plan is that this will be the first of a number of Seco<br />
Warwick vacuum furnaces. I know that commercial heat treating in Brazil is<br />
struggling these days so I hope that this impressive investment pays off. Metal<br />
<strong>Treat</strong>ing Institute (MTI) the largest organization in North America of commercial<br />
heat treaters is having a regional meeting in Big Sky Resort in Montana July 19-20.<br />
Featured speakers will include our good friend the "Doctor", Dan Herring (boy this<br />
man gets around). Moving to the field of rumors we have an interesting one. A<br />
brand New Commercial <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> is being constructed in the Rockford, Illinois<br />
area. While we don't have a clue who is behind this we do understand that it will<br />
offer normalizing, annealing and continuous furnaces. Hey we have to mention<br />
something about Italy for a change (although we will have more about heat<br />
treating in Italy in a few weeks). We see that one of the largest new furnace<br />
builders in the country Cieffe is delivering to Salzgitter in France a turnkey<br />
furnace line for the heat treatment of steel tubes for the oil industry. This is an<br />
automated line capable of handling parts up to 13 meters long with a maximum<br />
temperature of 1120C.<br />

Moving to a particular "peeve" of ours we ran across another one of those "crappy"<br />
