commercial heat treating market. I have no idea who puts these things together or<br />
where they get their information but this most recent one was so far off the mark<br />
as to be laughable. Our personal feeling is that any of these studies are at best<br />
educated guesses at most within 20% of being accurate but a number of studies we<br />
have seen aren't within 80% of being accurate. While there are probably a couple<br />
out there that are reasonably accurate our personal feeling is resist the urge to buy<br />
a complete study and contact list for several hundred dollars. Your money would be<br />
better spent at the race track. And to round things out our friends at commercial<br />
heat treat Metlab in PA sent us this press release. Metlab is worth mentioning in<br />
that the company is very specialized and has probably the largest pit carburizing<br />
furnaces available in North America.<br />
"Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz Visits Metlab Mark Podob (l) and Jim Conybear<br />
(r) owners of Metlab, Philadelphia, PA, welcomed the Honorable Allyson Schwartz,<br />
Congresswoman to Metlab on Thursday, April 4, 2013. <strong>The</strong> Congresswoman,<br />
Representative for the 13th District in Pennsylvania, toured the heat treat plant<br />
looking at the two largest pit furnaces in North America as well as such diverse<br />
projects as the manufacture of wire supports for the arresting cable mechanism on<br />
aircraft carriers, carburizing and hardening crawler shafts for steam shovels, and<br />
gears being nitrided for Navy destroyers. Also toured was the company's black<br />
oxide line used for finishing fasteners, machined parts and other components, its<br />
in-house metallurgical laboratory, and sandblast cleaning operation. Discussions<br />
focused on issues facing small businesses, Metlab concerns for the future of<br />
manufacturing in Southeastern Pennsylvania and ways for attracting and retaining a<br />
skilled workforce".<br />
