Introduction
The predominant feature of the April 2013 issue of "The Monty" the world's most
popular source of news about the worldwide heat treating industry is our coverage of
the heat treating market in the UK. A recent visit gave us the opportunity to visit a
number of heat treaters in the country and profiles of several are included in this issue
along with our thoughts about heat treating in the UK. Needless to say our UK coverage
is complimented with news items about the industry from around the globe.
We now move to another subject - Used Heat Treating Equipment. These are the good
times for the industry and the obvious result is a shortage of good used furnaces. Never
in our experience have we seen such a shortage of used furnaces with the result that
prices for equipment have risen dramatically in the past two years. There has never
been a better time to sell and we would like to help you find a home for your surplus
equipment. Drop us a line and we would be more than happy to give you a free
appraisal of your equipment.
Best regards,

This summer,
put your cooling problems
on Cloud 9.
Last summer the heat wreaked havoc on cooling equipment.
This summer there’s an easy solution for any air-cooled heat exchanger…
and it’s as simple as a cloud!
introducing
Whatever you have — chiller condenser… water cooler… or any aircooled
heat exchanger — when your existing coolers can’t give you the
temperatures you need, the SBS Cloud Cooler is the inexpensive fix.

A simple idea.
A smart design.
A powerful solution.
It’s cool down time.
Cloud Cooling is a brilliant new
design that simplifies a longproven
European technology. By
compressing a tiny flow of water
at 700 PSI and releasing it through
atomizing nozzles, a cloud forms
on the air inlet of your cooling
equipment which can cool incoming
air by as much as 25°F ...cooler air
means cooler liquid exiting your heat
exchanger.
In new applications you can achieve
temperatures not attainable with
ordinary air cooled heat exchangers
and eliminate the complexity, cost
and maintenance of a cooling tower.
SBS Cloud Cooling
Be Cool This Summer
For prices and details,

Compare the SBS Cloud to a
Traditional Cooling Tower System:
• No cooling tower
• No water treatment
• No remote sump
• No tower circulation pump
• No blow down
• No plate and frame heat exchanger

Heat Treat News
Monday Morning Briefing. We have just learned that Mr. John Hubbard
formerly CEO of International Heat Treater, Bodycote will be receiving the 2013
George H. Bodee n Heat Treating Achievement Award. "The George H.
Bodeen Heat Treating Achievement Award was established by the ASM Heat
Treating Society in 1996 to recognize distinguished and significant contributions to
the field of heat treating through leadership, management, or engineering
development of substantial commercial impact. The award is named in honor of
George H. Bodeen, ASM President 1983, ASM Distinguished Life Member, FASM,
and Founding President of the ASM Heat Treating Society. John will receive the
award at the 2013 ASM Conference in Indianapolis which is being held September
16th to the 18th". We at "The Monty" can't think of another person more
deserving of this award.
New vacuum furnaces for $2,600.00 USD. No this isn't an
April Fools joke. We were recently asked to list for sale a brand
new vacuum furnace made in China which sells for $2,600.00
USD. What you get for this price we would rather not
contemplate.
Looking to India we see that furnace builder Hightemp based in Bangalore has just
received a multimillion dollar order from "TML Drive Lines Ltd" for a two row
pusher carburizing furnace designed for processing Crown Gears and Pinions for
Heavy vehicles. The order includes automation which includes a Robotic system for
quenching the crowns in a Gleason press and dunk quenching Pinion Gears in the
quench tank. The furnace was built to an AFC-Holcroft design and is the second
large order Hightemp has received from this customer. In Canada a good friend of
ours Mr. Pat Quam, Maintenance Manager at commercial heat treater H & S Heat
Treating in Port Robinson, Ontario is retiring although he will continue working on
a part time, contract basis. People like Pat the industry can ill afford to lose. In the
UK PhoenixTM has just hired a new Sales Manager-we will let the company give us
the details. "Phoenix Temperature Measurement (PhoenixTM LLC) is pleased to
announce the addition of Jason Dervish in the role of National Sales Manager
www.themonty.com

covering territories in the UK and USA. Jason joined PhoenixTM on March 11 2013
after 8 years as regional sales manager with a major supplier of temperature
profiling equipment. He was responsible for developing the market in Japan and
Korea, and later in Eastern Europe, and Africa. Jason has considerable experience
in 'Hot Box' profiling applications where a high accuracy data logger is put into a
furnace protected by a 'Hot Box' heat shield to measure the temperature profile of
the furnace or carry out a temperature uniformity survey. Please join me in
welcoming Jason to his new appointment. Dave Plester, Vice President PhoenixTM
LLC www.phoenixtm.com"
Again in the UK one of the largest commercial heat treaters in the country,
Wallwork Heat Treatment is adding more capacity. "Thermal processing and
surface engineering specialist, Wallwork Heat Treatment, has commissioned a new
800 Kilo capacity furnace for the processing of aluminium and magnesium products.
The new furnace provides variable heat treatment for cast, forged, wrought or
fabricated components from single items of up two cubic metres to batches of
components as small as 0.5mm diameter. "Our core business remains the thermal
processing and surface coating of high value components for aerospace, motorsport
and medical device manufacturers. The new non-ferrous furnace adds to our
commercial processing capability and is part of a three year development program
that will see a further significant increase in this capacity," explained sales and
marketing director Simeon Collins. The furnace is equipped to use a variety of
quenchants and has the capability to achieve a rapid quench time of less than 10
seconds. Very small pressed or cast parts can therefore be processed effectively.
Business development manager for the project, Ian Lacey, commented, "All
processes are fully documented for quality assurance purposes, currently to AS9100
standard and we have on-site laboratory back-up for testing and validation. We can
process test items to prove the effectiveness of the treatment before scaling up to
full volume processing. Many of our customers welcome the opportunity to have a
single source for all their heat treatment needs." Operating from three UK sites at
Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge, with a fleet of over 40 vehicles providing
collection and delivery, Wallwork provide a rapid turn-around service nation-wide.
Plans are in hand to increase thermal processing capacity in the company with
further investment in equipment later in the year". The photo below was taken
recently at one of the firm's locations.

In Poland furnace builder Seco Warwick has two new furnace orders to mention;
"Carburizing & Nitriding Team signs contract for furnaces for Polish coal mining
industry; In March 2013 SECO/WARWICK Europe S.A. signed another contract for
two, tempering and annealing pit furnaces. The contract was signed with one of the
leading Polish coal mining companies". And for the second order we have this;
"Contract for rotary hearth furnace; SECO/WARWICK Europe S.A. announces the
signing of an contract with Toyota for delivery of rotary hearth furnace for aging of
aluminum castings and modernization of an existing mesh belt line". And to round
things out Mr. Bill Jones of Solar Atmospheres in Souderton, PA has this to say
in response to a recent press release from Ipsen. By the way the photo below
shows the first vacuum furnace VFS sold and the individual in the picture is Mr. Jim
Williams who was the owner of Metal Treating Inc. in Cincinnati (Metal Treating
is now part of Bodycote). "Setting The Record Straight. Vacuum Furnace Systems
Corporation was originally incorporated in late 1978 by the undersigned. VFS
became the logo and equipment nameplate for the company. On the formation of
Vacuum Furnace Systems Corporation, many former employees of the Abar
Corporation joined the company which was located just north of Philadelphia. In
1994, the undersigned sold Vacuum Furnace Systems Corporation to the existing
management team. Three years later, they sold Vacuum Furnace Systems
Corporation to Ipsen. Over time, as the larger company, Ipsen submerged Vacuum
Furnace Systems Corporation within its organization. Today, they are one total
company with off-shore ownership. In 2003, the undersigned founded Solar
Manufacturing Inc., with the primary goal, at that time, of building new vacuum
furnaces for their sister company Solar Atmospheres Inc. - a commercial vacuum
heat treater. Ipsen dissolved the Vacuum Furnace Systems Corporation name, but
retained the VFS trademark and, as such, is now reintroducing the product line.

Vehicle Production. To round out a short week due to the upcoming Easter Good
Friday holiday we have this news item about worldwide vehicle production in 2012.
Granted it is not directly about heat treating but with heat treating of vehicle
components the largest market in the world for our industry these numbers go a
long way in explaining why most heat treaters around the world are doing well

these days in spite of a mediocre world economy. World vehicle production reached
84.1 million vehicles (all types) in 2012, which is a record and up by more than 5%
compared to 2011. "After a dramatic fall in 2009 to 61.8 million units due to the
2008 crisis, the world vehicles production has clearly recovered globally" according
to one expert. "Asia maintained its leadership, with a total production reaching 43.7
million units in 2012, followed by the Americas at 20 million, and Europe trailing
with a figure of less than 20 million." Figures we read show that production in the
EU was down but every other area of the world was positive. So if you want to
know why heat treaters in most parts of the world are doing well these days look no
further than new vehicle sales combined with a relatively strong oil and gas
industry and strong aerospace demand and you have your answer. March 28/2013

Keighley Laboratories/Nadcap Accreditation. Commercial heat treater and
Testing Laboratory Keighley Laboratories in West Yorkshire, UK is understandably
proud of their recent Nadcap Accreditation. March 27/2013
www.themonty.com
"Keighley Laboratories Achieves Nadcap Merit Accreditation. The Technical Services
division of Keighley Laboratories has achieved world-class Nadcap accreditation for
a Materials Testing Laboratory (MTL), a status recognized by the majority of global

aerospace primes as a mark of quality assurance excellence. The West Yorkshire
Company also gained coveted Merit grade, which rewards superior performance in
Nadcap audits and reduces subsequent audit frequency. Accreditation has also
prompted affirmation and prolongation of its Airbus approval, the aircraft
manufacturer having adopted the Nadcap program for its global supply chain. As
one of the few Nadcap-accredited MTL facilities in the UK, Keighley Labs has been
successfully assessed for the evaluation of aerospace welds, tensile, impact and
bend testing, metallographic and micro indentation hardness procedures, and
specimen preparation and machining. Combined with UKAS accredited testing and
certification to many international standards and Civil Aviation Authority approval of
in-house weld specimen supervisors, this confirms the company as a centre of
excellence for weld testing, at a time when there is a Europe-wide shortage of the
necessary expertise.
“Achieving Nadcap accreditation is not easy; it is one of the ways
in which the aerospace industry identifies those who excel in
superior special processes. Companies such as Keighley
Laboratories go above and beyond achieving Nadcap accreditation,
to obtain Merit status, and they should be justifiably proud of
that,” says Joe Pinto, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer at the Performance Review Institute, which administers the
Nadcap programme. “We are determined to support continual
improvement in the aerospace industry, by helping companies such
as Keighley Labs become even more successful.” Established in
1990 by key aerospace industry and US government
representatives, Nadcap represents a concerted, cooperative effort
to improve quality, while reducing costs, throughout the global
aerospace and defence sectors. It defines a standardised approach
to quality assurance and establishes requirements for
accreditation, improving performance throughout the supply chain,
utilising expert auditors to ensure familiarity with special processes
and conducting technically superior in-depth quality audits. With
most aerospace prime contractors and secondary tier suppliers
now adhering to Nadcap, accreditation is vital for securing
subcontracting opportunities in this sector, as well as in qualityminded
markets like nuclear, marine, defence and rail, with more than half of
accredited companies reporting an upturn in sales and new business.
“This is an important breakthrough for the company, since it raises our profile and
reputation within the aerospace industry and enables us to obtain greater
recognition for our expertise in weld and materials testing,” says Keighley Labs’ MD,
Debbie Mellor. “It helps us to retain existing customers within the Northwest
Aerospace Alliance and beyond, establishes our technical credentials for fresh
market opportunities in other industries and paves the way for further export
business in weld testing and other special processes.” The Keighley Labs’ Nadcap
application, which was supported by numerous key aerospace customers and Airbus
itself, involved Divisional Technical Services Director, Matthew Mellor, Senior
www.themonty.com

Metallurgist, Peter Hanson, and Quality Manager, Tim Clegg, in a thoroughly
intensive programme.
Although modern composites are increasingly used in aviation, metal is still the
most prevalent aircraft construction material, including but not limited to steel,
aluminium, stainless steel, nickel and titanium alloys. The company’s in-depth weld
assessment and inspection expertise, across all metallic materials and current
manual and automatic welding methods, will ensure that welded joints comply with
the highest aerospace and equivalent specifications. The company already has quite
a number of aviation primes and tier 1, 2 and 3 supply companies amongst its
customer base, as well as overseas defence and aerospace suppliers, and is
confident of using Nadcap Merit status to leverage extra domestic and export
business. For further information, contact the Technical Services’ Commercial
Manager, Leonard Stott, at Keighley Laboratories Limited, Croft House, South

Solar Atmospheres/Furnace Donation. "In commemoration of ASM
International’s 100th anniversary, Solar Atmospheres Inc. is donating a vacuum
furnace to ASM for use in its Teaching Lab at their headquarters in Materials Park,
Ohio. William R. Jones, CEO of Solar Atmospheres, Inc. states, “This gift, valued at
$250,000, is being provided to educate future technical personnel on the latest
design and capabilities of the modern vacuum furnace.” This new furnace is
expected to ship in June 2013 and be operational in July. The furnace is being built
by Solar Manufacturing, a Solar Atmospheres company. Currently under
construction is a Model HFL-2018-IQ horizontal, internal quenching furnace with a
hot zone that measures 12”wide x 12” high x 18” deep and is capable of operation
to 2400oF. The hearth will accept a load of 250 pounds. The hot zone insulation
package will consist of a heavy graphite foil hot face backed by 4 layers of ½” inch
graphite felt, all supported in a stainless steel ring. The elements will be curved
solid machined graphite. The vacuum system will incorporate an Alcatel mechanical
pump, a Varian 6” VHS-6 diffusion pump and an Alcatel holding pump to allow the
furnace to operate in the 10-6 Torr range. Gas quenching will be via an internal 5
HP blower/heat exchanger combination that recirculates the cooling gas through
fixed gas nozzles located throughout the hot zone. Instrumentation will include a
Honeywell DCP100 programmer/controller, a Eurotherm 6100 temperature/vacuum

vacuum furnaces and electric components, their joint mission is to add significant
value to their customer’s operations." March 26/2013
Trivia Time. So where did the name of the world's largest commercial heat treater,
Bodycote come from? From Wikipedia we have the summary below of the
company. Incidentally as a foot note to this news item adorning the walls of
Bodycote's UK headquarters are a number of pictures dating back many years
which upon closer observation are actually textiles as opposed to paintings and
which come from the days long before Bodycote was involved in heat treating.
March 26/2013
"The Company was founded by Arthur Bodycote in 1923 as a textile business under
the name of G.R. Bodycote Ltd. It was acquired by Slater Walker in 1951 and
demerged from them in 1973. It refocused on its present activities in the 1970s: its
expertise in bullet-proof and flame retardant clothing facilitated its transformation
into the specialist materials sector. From 1979 onwards it made a series of
acquisitions, the first of which was Blandburgh, a heat treatment business. In 1980
it went on to buy Zinc Alloy Rust Proofing Ltd, which was the beginning of its
metallurgical coatings business. In 1990 Bodycote acquired Metallurgical Testing
Services Ltd (MTS) of Edinburgh from Murray International plc, laying the
www.themonty.com

foundations for what would become Bodycote's materials testing business. In 2008
the materials testing division was sold to private ownership leading to the founding
of the testing company Exova. In 1991 it bought HIP Ltd, a leading Hot Isostatic
Processing business. In 2001 the Company bought Lindberg Corporation, the
largest heat treatment business in the United States. The company changed its
name from Bodycote International plc to Bodycote plc in April 2008".
Monday Morning Briefing. ABB in Florence, SC had an auction March 19th/2013
and included were 2 CI Hayes vacuum oil quench furnaces and 2 CI Hayes vacuum
tempers. Selling price for the oil quench furnaces was $50,000 USD each and
$30,000 USD each for the tempers. All were in top notch condition with controls
updated in 2012. Based on the sale price we would assume they were bought by an
end user as opposed to a used equipment dealer. Where are they now-Pat Connor.
Pat has been in the industry for quite some time enjoying stints at companies such
as Bodycote and Bluewater Thermal. It would appear that Pat is now with Roller
Bearing Corp., a large captive heat treater with a number of locations around the
world. Wolfson Heat Treatment Centre, is British industry's focal point for
information, advice and education on processing aspects of metal heat treatment.
Established in Birmingham in 1973, the Centre now operates within the Surface
Engineering Association and is primarily staffed by a metallurgist with extensive
first-hand practical experience at the sharp end of industrial heat treatment
operations. We mention them today as the centre will be another three-day course
"Understanding Heat Treatment" which will be held October 15th to 17th of this
year. And speaking of events the ASM Chennai, India Chapter is organizing a
Heat Treatment convention and conference from May 16 to 18/2013 in Chennai.
Just a few weeks ago the Atmosphere Furnaces business segment of
SECO/WARWICK Europe S.A. commissioned a roller hearth furnace processing
line for the heat treatment of ARLHE-T-700 type bearing rings. "The technological
installation will operate at Company Harkovskij Podshipnikovyj Zavod (HARP), PAO.
It is a member of the Industrial Group UPEC. UPEC is one of the biggest Ukrainian
private-sector companies in the machine industry. This company manufactures
components and mechanisms for the automotive industry and for agricultural
machines, railways and metallurgy sector as well. This processing line is the first of
three that are being manufactured at SECO/WARWICK EUROPE S.A. At the same
time, at the customer’s site pre-acceptance tests of the second processing line
ARLHE-T is taking place". And while we are on the topic of new furnace orders
Metal Powder Products (MPP) headquartered in Westfield, Indiana, USA,
recently installed a 30 in. high capacity Abbott sintering furnace at its Washington
Street facility in St Mary, PA. According to what we have heard business is
booming for the company due to increased business because of the success of
www.themonty.com

Chrysler's 3.6L Pentasta engine, which is used in various applications, and Ford's
5.8L supercharged V-8 engine powering the Shelby GT500 Mustang.
And to round things out to start the week we have this press release from Alfe Heat
Treating about a very impressive order the company has just received. "Alfe Heat
Treating Signs Multi-Year Contract With Big Three Automotive
Manufacturer: Saginaw Facility Secures Contract and is Expected to Expand
Workforce. SAGINAW, Mich. (March 18, 2013)—Alfe Heat Treating, the largest
aluminum heat treater in the United States, today announced that it has closed a
deal with a major automotive manufacturer to heat treat V6 engines at its Saginaw
operations plant. The long-term project will start in late 2014 utilizing the existing
facility and equipment. “Alfe Saginaw has a reputation for providing the automotive
industry with highly automated heat-treat operations, ensuring consistent worldclass
quality processes while minimizing costs,” said John Holifield, Alfe vice
president. “This contract underscores our ability to continually exceed the
expectations of our customers and further solidifies our long-term commitment to
the local Saginaw community. We expect to increase our workforce to meet the
needs in the fall of 2014 as we prepare to increase our capacity for the new
engine.” March 25/2013
Vacuum Carburizing Installations. A fellow who contacted us recently suggested
that the two largest suppliers of vacuum carburizing systems in the world ECM of
France and ALD in Germany have sold a total of 2200 systems over the years-a
number which surprised us. However needed to be kept in mind is that the vast
bulk of these installations are multi-chamber (both companies prefer to go by the
number of cells as opposed to number of systems which can be anywhere up to 8
cells in a system). If we assume lets say an average of 4 cells/system we still arrive
at a little over 700 installations over the years. Taking into account that some
percentage have been scrapped (lets take a guess at 15% which is just that a
guess) we still arrive at roughly 600 operating vacuum carburizing systems in the
world not counting those provided by other suppliers such as Ipsen, Seco, Solar,
Surface and several others. If again we take a wild guess that suppliers other than
ECM and ALD have 100 installations currently in operation we arrive at a total of
700 installations in operation around the world from single cell units up to 8 cell
systems. We have made quite a few very rough guesses to arrive at this number so
our readers input is appreciated to arrive at a more definite number. March
22/2013
www.themonty.com
Ipsen Press Release. We certainly agree with Ipsen on this, while VFS became
part of the Ipsen family a number of years back we still run across buyers that
insist on the VFS name. March 22/2013

AFC-Holcroft/ CAAB Order, India. Not much we can add to this announcement
about a recent Controlled Atmosphere Aluminum Brazing furnace built by High
Temp Furnaces in Bangalore under licence by AFC-Holcroft of Wixom, Michigan,
USA. March 21/2013
www.themonty.com
Radiator Manufacturer Receives New Design CAAB® Furnace "(March, 2013)
High Temp Furnaces Ltd., Bangalore, India, under license from AFC-Holcroft, has
recently shipped a new design CAAB® furnace to one of the largest radiator
manufacturers in Mumbai, India. The new design CAAB (Controlled Atmosphere

Aluminum Brazing) furnace minimizes the electric power requirements during the
brazing process. Preliminary calculations show the furnace is capable of significantly
reducing electric power consumption compared to traditional CAAB design. Janusz
Kowalewski, Managing Director, AFC-Holcroft Asia stated, “The new furnace design

Beaver Heat Treat/Portland, Oregon. Commercial heat treater Beaver Heat
Treat has announced effective March 18th that they will be operating from a new
location at 19830 SW Teton Avenue, Tualatin, OR, USA 97062. The company's
offices have been moved and the plant equipment is in the process of being moved.
Phone numbers and fax numbers will remain the same. Effective April 1 the new
name for the company will be Thermal Modification Technologies, Inc. Moving a
heat treat company is always a big job and Beaver is asking their customers to bear
with them during the transition process which will take about a month. Beaver has
been organizing this move for the past year so we would expect things to go fairly
smoothly. March 21/2013

Aremac Heat Treating, LLC. Manufacturer and commercial heat treater Aremac
based in City of Industry, CA has announced a large project in Eastman, GA for

which all the details can be found below. Two thoughts struck us about this press
release. The first being that industry in the southeastern USA continues to grow
largely at the expense of other regions of the US. The second is that the number of
jobs vs. the capital expenditure is out of whack in this press release. A $2 million
USD investment does not equate to 60 jobs in the commercial heat treating
industry, so our conclusion would have to be that there will be further investment
down the road which will justify more hiring or the other obvious thought is that the
local government has inflated the new job count in an effort to look good-we
become cynical as we get older don't we? March 20/2013
"Heat treating company will create 60 new jobs, invest $2 million in metal-treating
facility. Eastman, GA, March 18, 2013-Aremac Heat Treating, LLC
announced it will expand its heat treating operations in Eastman.
The facility is in the design-phase and the company plans to be in
operations in the Third Quarter of 2013. This project will result in
the creation of 60 new jobs in Dodge County within five years. "We
have finalized our decision to move here. It is nice to be wanted, to
be part of a community, where we can join in the moral and social
fabric and add to the functioning parts of this community," stated
Denny Butler, Vice President, Aremac Heat Treating, LLC. Aremac is
in the process of expanding its heat treating operations through the
establishment of a new facility in Eastman. This facility will benefit
currently underserved markets along the East Coast. Aremac's new
approximately 28,000 square-foot facility will be located on 10
acres adjacent to the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport and Middle
Georgia State College's Aviation Campus. This area is home to
several other industries serving the aerospace market, representing
a growing strategic industry cluster. Positioning itself near existing
companies such as Dynamic Paint Solutions and Heart of Georgia

Tuesday Morning Briefing. Starting with Germany we see that Franz Bless, a
very experienced product manager, is joining furnace builder Seco Warwick as a
Senior Consultant supporting sales activities and project management by
consulting. According to Seco Warwick; "Until his retirement Franz Bless was
Product Manager Vacuum Furnace Technology at Ipsen International GmbH and
might be known from this time still by many heat treaters in the industry". We
agree with Seco Warwick-he is a well known individual in the heat treating industry
in Europe. In the USA we see that Chris Chew another long standing heat treater
recently parted ways with commercial heat treater Bluewater Thermal. If you
have an interest in contacting Chris you can find his contact information at
http://www.themonty.com/seekingemployment.htm American Heat Treating in
Dayton, Ohio, USA a commercial operation recently suffered a small fire although it
appears little harm was done. "Fire crews worked to quiet a fire at American Heat
Treating in Dayton after heavy smoke was seen coming from the structure on
Sunday afternoon. Crews responded to Broadway Street and Nicholas Road at
about 2 p.m. Nobody was inside the heat treating business at the time the fire
started, according to fire officials. The fire appears to have started in a furnace,
said District Fire Chief Lester Flohr. "(It was) burning and operating in a faulty
fashion," he said. "We're in the process of getting building and company
representatives on the scene." Firefighters shut off gas to the structure. No formal
damage estimates have been made available and no neighboring structures were
harmed". There will be a small, informal get together in memory of Randy
Simmons this Thursday, March 21 at 6:30 PM in Cincinnati, Ohio. Location is the
Rancho Grande restaurant in Sharonville, Ohio on Route 42 by interstate 275.

Randy passed away this past weekend and I know a lot of
people would like to remember him. On a lighter note we have
a picture of a Lego Model of a Solar Atmospheres 12' car
bottom vacuum furnace. This was built by design engineers
Andrew Nagy and Ben Isaak of Solar. Pretty cool is our feeling.
Going to Indonesia we have these comments about the size of the vacuum
furnace market there. "Some days ago (February 26, 2013) you posted information
about the Indonesian market and in that it was cited that there are 5 known
vacuum furnaces in Indonesia. A few companies were listed -unfortunately, Ipsen
was not part of the list. Based in Malaysia, I am responsible for selling into
Indonesia for Ipsen and I would like to provide some additional information on the
topic. Recently, Ipsen has been very successful selling into Indonesia. This includes
5 vacuum furnaces, of which two (2) are TITANs - one TITAN H2-12 bar and one
TITAN H6-12 bar. We have also sold high pressure quench furnaces manufactured
by Ipsen Europe. The customers are quite diverse including one of the largest
Japanese steel manufacturers, a German medical instrument company and even
the Indonesian Government. Our customers in Indonesia especially value the local,
highly-trained service that Ipsen provides in the region. We have been supporting
this region for almost three years with great success, helping to move our
customers forward. Markk Wong, Sales@Ipsen-sea.com, Ipsen Industrial
Furnaces Sdn. Bhd.
Recently it was mentioned on this site that Klein Tools in Skokie, IL would be
auctioning off a surplus 4,000 pound/hour Rogers cast link belt line. While cast link
lines are not in high demand these days the furnace did indeed sell at the auction
to a used equipment dealer. We close off today's news with two pictures of the
newest location for commercial heat treater and vacuum furnace builder Vac Aero.
The company outgrew it's original furnace building location and this is the new plant
in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. As you can see in the picture below the hot zone
business for the company is booming these days. In the one photo the individual on
the right is Darrell Manente a Director of the company. March 19/2013

Randy Simmons/CHS, Asia. Randy passed away this past weekend at a relatively
young age in a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Randy had spent
his entire life in the heat treating industry starting at controls
company Marathon Monitors in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. A number
of years back he moved to Thailand where he started a very
successful furnace building/rebuilding company by the name of
CHS Asia. Randy like all of mankind had his strong points and
weak points, strengths and weaknesses but at the end of the day
all who knew him would agree that he was intelligent, honest,
hard working and a very loyal friend. The industry is a poorer
place without him. Good bye buddy, I will miss you. March 18/2013

Vacuum & Atmosphere Services/UK. Vacuum & Atmosphere Services in the UK
(VAS for short) caught us off guard. While we have known of the company for a
number of years what surprised us was the size of the company and how much of
their work is outside of the UK. Mike Long one of the founders provided us with this
description of the company and to round things out we have several photos to give
you a better idea about the company. March 18/2013
"Vacuum and Atmosphere Services Ltd, formed in 2000 by two former Ipsen
employees now boast a workforce of 22, including specialized Engineers. Despite
the current economic climate, VAS have increased their staff by 25% in the last 12
months. The early decisions gave VAS a solid platform to build on, employing
experienced Engineers, Sales staff and investing in apprentices. In total two
apprentices have progressed to become Service Engineers and a further two
currently progressing through their early years. VAS offer many services including
service and spares support, vacuum furnace relines, Atmosphere furnace re bricks,

TTI/Letchworth, UK. Out of a total of 7 locations in the UK we have (with this
news item) summarized 3 TTI locations of this large Surface Treatment/Heat
Treating company. Each location is different and Letchworth is no exception. While
they have the almost obligatory batch IQ furnaces what really sets them apart are
their "Hipping" furnaces which at the end of the day are not a real common item to
see in a commercial heat treater. So we have the batch IQ's, hipping furnaces, a
small amount of Induction, a fair bit of gas nitriding capacity and a very impressive
vacuum department. The vacuum department will shortly be growing with the
addition of another TAV 10 bar vacuum unit which should be rolling in the doors in
the very near future. We found it interesting that it would appear that Italian
furnace builder TAV is the dominant player in the UK when it comes to new vacuum
furnace orders. Below you can see a "hipping" unit and also some of the individuals
responsible for this impressive operation. From the left we have Gord Montgomery
(who had nothing to do with it), Mr. Stewart Griffiths (HIP Project Manager), Mr.
Tony Alderton (Plant Manager), Paul French and Duncan Harris (Vacuum &
Atmosphere Services Ltd). March 15/2013
Beaver Heat Treat/McLaughlin Services LLC. Not that long ago we announced
that commercial heat treater Beaver Heat Treat in Portland, Oregon, USA had
placed an order with furnace builder/rebuilder McLaughlin Services LLC of Fort
Wayne, Indiana for two carbottom furnaces. Each had working dimensions of 15'
long x 8' wide x 8' high with a load capacity of 40,000 pounds gas fired and
operating temperatures of 400F to 2000F. Nine weeks after the order was placed
the first furnace is being installed which is one heck of a feat. The three photos
below show the furnace from start to almost finish. March 15/2013

Wallwork Heat Treatment/Bury UK. This commercial heat treater surprised us
because of the sheer size. While the Group has four plants in total, Bury Wallwork
Heat Treatment Ltd., founded in 1959 by Robert Wallwork, Wallwork Cast Alloys
(1986), Wallwork Heat Treatment (Birmingham) Ltd. (1989) and Tecvac Ltd. (PVD
Coatings) in Cambridge (acquired 1997) the only location we saw was Bury and this
is a far larger than average commercial operation.
Going by memory this plant has roughly 10 batch IQ furnaces, a large salt
department, gas and plasma nitriding, vacuum carburizing, sub zero equipment and
numerous top of the line vacuum furnaces, as a matter of fact I
can think of very few commercial heat treaters which have so
many and such large vacuum furnaces. As you would expect with
this many vacuum furnaces the company concentrates on high
value heat treating such as aerospace, medical, racing components
and tooling. The group has 250 employees, 30 trucks on the road
every day and sales in 2012 were a little over $25 million USDWe
got a real kick out of the fact that everybody on the board is either
a metallurgist or an engineer which is not something you see every
day. The first picture you see has from the left Gord Montgomery,
Jim Oakes, SSI, Mike Jarvis, Chief Engineer, Richard Burslem,
Director, Matt Cross, SSI, UK and Steve Thompson, SSI. Now have
a close look at the second picture which shows Gord, Richard and
Matt. Just above their heads is a monitor one of many around the
plant which shows electrical usage. This shows total electrical
usage at all times, a graph showing trending AND a display which
shows electrical costs/hour. Apparently this has been a tremendous
benefit in reducing electrical costs due to energy peaks. No idea
who developed the system or whether it was Wallwork on their
own but whoever thought of this should be congratulated. For
more details of the company http://www.wallworkht.co.uk/ or get in touch with
Richard or Mike, both are very experienced and quite obviously love to talk heat
treating. On a final note we asked Richard (who has over 35 years of experience in
the heat treating industry and whose opinion we respect) our stock question about
where he thinks the industry might be going and he had the most intriguing answer
we have ever heard from anybody in this industry; "Additive manufacturing or
3D printing". This is a process we are starting to hear more about where a model
is created on a computer and sent to a 3D printer which creates the object using an
additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different
shapes. Recently it was revealed that some gun parts in the US had been made
with this process with mixed results. Combine this with laser heat treating and far
fetched as it might seem who knows down the road? A stretch perhaps but
technology keeps changing and at the risk of repeating ourselves we have never
had such an interesting thought about where the heat treating industry might go in
the future. March 14/2013

TTI Group Ltd/Birmingham, UK. The TTI facility we visited last week in
Birmingham, UK is quite a bit different from any other TTI facility we have seen in
that the plant is dedicated to Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coatings, the
"Nitrotec" process, Duplex Coatings and plasma nitriding which to our minds means
more Surface Treatment as opposed to heat treating (although you could certainly
argue the point). http://ttigroup.org.uk/birmingham The result was a fascinating
visit learning about processes in which we would never consider ourselves experts.
To expand upon this TTI has this to say about the Nitrotec process; "The
Nitrotec® family of treatments are trademarked and licensed to the world's
www.themonty.com

leading automotive manufacturers, hydraulic and actuation system providers,
machinery contractors and producers of consumer goods. In common with other
low temperature surface treatments supplied by TTI Group, Nitrotec® does not
introduce distortion into the part, this means that components can be used and
fitted directly after treatment. Nitrotec Services offer a range of surface treatments,
designed to provide exactly the right surface conditions for each application
required by customers." Certainly we know of a number of licensees of the process
around the world and each raves about the process. Moving from Nitrotec to PVD
Coatings we received a brief education about the technology. Basically (if we
understood the process correctly) PVD provides a Titanium Nitride coating which
provides a hard wear resistance and also a very memorable golden finish which can
be seen on a variety of different parts. Both the Nitrotec process and PVD coatings
are relatively unusual in commercial heat treaters and this has given the plant a
unique niche market. PVD coatings has proven so successful that 2012 was a
record breaking year for the facility which meant an investment of over $1 million
USD in a new system which can be seen in the picture below and which just
entered service. The individuals are from the left Gord Montgomery (holding an
example of PVD coating), Matt Cross (SSI, UK), Mike Fielden (Works Manager),
Steve Plumb (Technical Development Manager) and Keith Laing (Technical
Development Manager). March 13/2013

Monday Morning Briefing. Where are they now- Clayton Pinkos. Now here is a
well known fellow in the US heat treating industry, Clayton Pinkos who has worked
on both the captive and commercial side of things-most recently at auto parts
supplier and captive heat treater GKN Driveline in Mebane, NC. Clayton has
moved on and is now running the heat treating department at Baldor Electric in
Tennessee. Jim McNeal Managing Recruiter of International Search Partners, an
Executive Search firm based in La Mesa, Ca. which concentrates on the heat
treating industry will again be deploying to the Middle East. Jim is a Captain in the
US Reserves and was recently nominated for Promotion to the rank of Rear Admiral
Lower Half. Auto parts maker and captive heat treater Sona BLW Precision Forge
in Selma, NC who provide components for rear wheel drive vehicles recently
suffered a reasonably serious fire in their heat treating department. The plant is
located at 500 Oak Tree Drive in Selma and while we don't know all the details
some of the equipment will certainly have to be replaced. Commercial heat treater
TTI (part of the Aalberts Group) in Letchworth, UK is looking forward to
receiving their brand new TAV 10 bar vacuum furnace (more about this plant later
this week). RUBIG GmbH & Co. KG in Wels, Austria who is possibly the largest
supplier of Plasma Nitriding systems around recently landed an order from a UK
company for a new Plasma unit.
Dave Stanton another well known fellow in the US heat treating industry recently
left captive heat treater Rexnord for commercial heat treater IBC Coating
Technologies Inc., in Lebanon, Indiana. IBC Coating is a medium sized
commercial shop which offers top end processing such as vacuum carburizing, PVD
Coatings, Plasma Nitriding and Vacuum heat treating to name a few. And to round
things out we see that Wisconsin Oven had a record breaking 2012 and in
consequence is opening a new facility. The abbreviated announcement is below and
the full press release can be found at http://news.mywalworthcounty.com/?p=3745
"Wisconsin Oven Corporation, which has long been known as one of East Troy’s
biggest and most revered companies, will soon be expanding its brand in the Dairy
State. On the heels of a recent sale to PLC Group of France in April, Wisconsin Oven
announced plans last week to open another plant in Waukesha, adding about 20
new jobs. Dave Strand, President and CEO of Wisconsin Oven Corporation, said the
move is a result of record sales for the company in 2012. “We have a need for
immediate space due to backlog and what East Troy had available wasn’t going to
meet our needs,” Strand said. Wisconsin Oven will open up shop in an existing
30,000-square-foot facility on Pewaukee Road in about two weeks". March 11/2013

TTI Nitriding Services/Telford, UK. Yesterday we made the rather bold
statement that heat treating in the UK was quite advanced
compared to many areas around the world and while we freely
admit that this is based on rather limited knowledge of the UK
market as proof of this statement we hold up Exhibit “A” TTI
Nitriding Services in Telford. The basic background of the company
is that TTI Group is part of the Materials Technology Division of
Aalberts Industries NV which provides Surface Treatment and Heat
Treating services mainly in Europe. TTI group itself is based in
England and has a total of 7 locations of which Telford is one and
when combined the 7 locations are one of the largest commercial
heat treaters in the UK. For all the details you can visit
http://www.ttigroup.co.uk/telford however let us give you our
impression of this location. What we saw was a building specifically
built for heat treating with allowances made for furnace
infrastructure on a large lot with room for future expansion, a
number of large gas and Plasma Nitriders, several big vacuum
furnaces (including a bottom loader) with quenching capabilities up
to 10 bar and some vacuum brazing capacity. We also saw a
company with a large percentage of aerospace work and ambitious
plans for future growth including more floor space and additional
equipment. A picture is worth a thousand words so the photos below will tell the
story far better than we ever could. The photo of the bottom loading vacuum
furnaces shows from the left Gord Montgomery, Martin Dyson (Works Manager,

(Technical & Quality Manager, TTI). March 8/2013
Heat Treating UK. Over the course of the past week have had the chance to visit
a number of heat treaters around the UK and to date it is not what we expected.
The British economy has been hollowed out over the years and what remains are
industries that can compete with any in the world on the basis of quality and
innovation with the result that most heat treaters offer the most advanced heat
treating processes that can be found and which are largely dedicated to the
aerospace, medical, defence, oil and gas and automotive industries. Over the
course of the next week we will offer profiles of several of these companies but in
the meantime we leave you with this photo of the headquarters of the world's
largest commercial heat treater, Bodycote based in Macclesfield , UK. Below you
can see from the left Steve Thompson (SSI), Matt Cross (SSI UK), David Landless
(Bodycote Finance Director) and Gord Montgomery. David Landless has been with
the company for a number of years and without meaning any offense to finance
people (any certainly none whatsoever to David) I would have to say that I have
never yet met a finance person in this industry with so much actual heat treating
knowledge-rather an unusual combination in our experience. March 7/2013

Advanced Heat Treat Corp. (AHT) "completed the Quality Systems section of the
Nadcap (National Aerospace Defense Contractors Accreditation
Program) audit with zero findings. The audit took place February
25-March 1st at their Waterloo, Iowa facility, and although it
doesn’t officially grant the company final Nadcap accreditation, it
is a major step in the process and final approval is expected
within the next 30-60 days. The Nadcap Audit & Accreditation
Process, according to the Performance Review Institute (PRI)
consists of the following steps: Nadcap certification is something
Advanced Heat Treat Corp. has been considering over the last two
years. Advanced Heat Treat Corp. employees undergo intense
training to ensure proper procedures are in place for ion and gas
nitriding processes. AHT staff proficiency is tested every two
years and AHT will be subjected to an annual audit with
recertification every three years. According to PRI: “Nadcap is an
industry-managed approach to conformity assessment that brings
together technical experts from both Industry and Government to
establish requirements for accreditation, accredit Suppliers and
define operational program requirements. This results in a
standardized approach to quality assurance and a reduction in
redundant auditing throughout the aerospace industry because
Prime contractors, Suppliers and Government representatives
have joined forces to develop a program that:
• Establishes stringent industry consensus standards that satisfy the requirements
of all participants
Step AHT just passed
• Replaces routine auditing of suppliers with one approved through a consensus
decision-making process of members from the user community
• Conducts more in-depth, technically superior special process audits
• Improves supplier quality throughout industry through stringent requirements
• Reduces costs through improved standardization
• Utilizes technically expert auditors to assure process familiarity
• Provides more frequent audits for Primes, fewer audits for Suppliers”
"Advanced Heat Treat Corp. takes pride in holding ourselves to the highest quality
standards and looks forward to providing the Nadcap certification for our aerospace
and defense customers." Quality Director, Tom Hafele, stated. “The certification is
something we’ve been discussing for a couple of years and are very excited the
audit went well”. Advanced Heat Treat Corp. (AHT) is a recognized leader in
providing heat treat services and superior metallurgical solutions to companies
across the globe. In just over 30 years, AHT has developed into a multi-service
heat treat company that takes pride in fitting the ideal solution to any application.
AHT’s UltraGlow® family of processes includes Pulse Plasma Ion Nitriding, Ferritic
Nitrocarburizing (FNC), Gas Nitriding, UltraOx®, Through Hardening (i.e. Quench &

Heat Treatment 2000 Ltd./UK. We’re learning a thing or two about heat treating
in the UK, namely that generally the volumes aren’t as large as in areas such as the
US, Germany, China or Taiwan. Large volume cast or mesh belt continuous furnace
lines for heat treating fasteners in all of the areas just mentioned are not
uncommon but in the UK they are relatively uncommon and to date the only
commercial heat treater we have seen or heard of that specializes in big volume
fastener heat treating is a company by the name of Heat Treatment 2000 located
West Midlands, England. http://www.heattreat2000.co.uk/ In 1998 the company
invested in a 6,000 pound/hour mesh belt line bought from Can Eng in Niagara
Falls, Ontario, Canada for an investment of roughly $2 million USD and just last
year purchased another very large mesh belt line from a supplier in Taiwan. While it
would appear that continuous heat treating of fasteners is a very strong area for
the company not to be missed is the fact that the company also has a very large
aluminum processing department. We would describe this as a medium to large
size commercial heat treater that looks to have captured an area of heat treating
not generally covered by other heat treaters in the UK and consequently the
company looks to be doing very well. The photo below shows the newest heat treat
line and in the one picture we see from the left Gord Montgomery, Adrian Ordidge
(Director, HT 2000), Matt Cross (SSI UK) and Paul Barber (Director, HT 2000).

Lush Heat Treatment/UK. So is captive and commercial heat treating any
different in the UK than anyplace else in the world? We all know the answer which
is that heat treating around the world is pretty much the same everywhere you go.
Just to make sure though we at “The Monty” are visiting several locations around
the country this week and our first stop was at a commercial heat treater by the
name of Lush Heat Treatment Ltd., Birchwood Industrial Estates, Hatfield, Herts,
UK. http://lush-heat.com What we saw was a medium sized commercial operation,
family owned which was started back in 1952 and is currently run by George Lush
son of the founder. While this company can provide batch carburizing, gas nitriding
and vacuum heat treatment it is pretty plain the direction the company is going,
vacuum heat treating for the aerospace industry. Lush was the first commercial
operation in the UK to offer 10 bar quenching and in addition to this furnace and a
few others has a fairly recent TAV bottom loading vacuum furnace with 6 bar
nitrogen/argon quenching. In our opinion this is not a large company but very well
organized, very clean and with technology and certification (such as Nadcap) which
is surprising in a company of this size. In the photos below you see the TAV furnace
and in front Mr. George Lush, Matt Cross (SSI UK) and Gord Montgomery.
Aalberts Industries/Financial Results. Recently we have summarized how two
of the largest commercial heat treaters in the world are doing these days, Bodycote
and Dowa. We can now also mention Aalberts in the Netherlands who is amongst
the five largest commercials in the world. Since heat treating is only a portion of
the company’s overall revenue it is hard to tell how this portion of their business is
doing but certainly the company as a whole is doing well and we would assume that
heat treating is doing just as well. March 5/2013
"Aalberts Industries realises a revenue of more than EUR 2 billion and a
5% higher operating profit (EBITA) 2012 Headlines
- Revenue +5% to EUR 2,025 million

Going Global – Gear Expo 2013 . Janusz Kowalewski of AFC-Holcroft, China sent
us this brief write-up about a recent heat treat show in Pune, India organized by
ASM. The report was actually written by BGL Furnaces of India a new furnace
builder and partner of AFC-Holcroft in India. March 5/2013
“The Pune Chapter of ASM International, India recently brought together experts in
materials & manufacturing technologies and user industries by organizing a
technical conference on Gear Metallurgy along with exhibition ‘Gear Expo 2013’,
where topics on gear materials, manufacturing, heat treatment, post heat
treatment and failure analysis were discussed. The conference and exhibition were
attended by manufacturers and suppliers of gears, furnaces, control systems,
fixtures, quenchants, gear boxes and commercial heat treaters. BGL FURNACES,
the Indian manufacturing partner of AFC-HOLCROFT were the gold sponsors of the
exhibition.”
Monday Morning Briefing. Let's start off with India where we see that
commercial heat treater and new furnace builder Hightemp Furnaces Limited is
having a good year. Starting with the heat treating side of things we see that the
company has expanded their facility in Chennai by adding 2 gas fired sealed quench
furnaces each having a capacity of 2500kgs and we also see that their Bangalore
plant has recently been NADCAP certified. On the furnace building side we see that
the company has booked the following orders; a repeat order for 2 Isothermal
Annealing furnaces for a Japanese Auto component manufacturer in South India, 2
Gas Soft Nitriding furnaces from a Japanese Auto component manufacturer in South
India, a repeat order For a Solutionising and Ageing furnace for Aluminum Cylinder
Blocks and Cylinder Heads from a customer in Western India supplying an American
Automobile manufacturer, a Stress Relieving line and a Gas Soft Nitriding furnace
line for a Japanese Automobile manufacturer in Western India and a repeat order
for a Mesh Belt Furnace line for Hardening and Tempering from one of the largest
Bearing manufacturers based in Western India. Very impressive! From the UK we
have this press release from commercial heat treater Wallwork; "Surface
www.themonty.com

engineering specialists, Wallwork Heat Treatment has announced a number of
planned senior management changes. In preparation for eventual retirement,
Manchester site director Richard Burslem is to step down from the board but will
continue to work part time with the company alongside technical director Peter
Carpenter. Richard's role will become the responsibility of production director Ian
Griffin. In other planned moves, Carole Chettoe is to join the Wallwork senior
management team as company secretary. Sales and marketing director, Simeon
Collins, will become site director for the Tecvac subsidiary in Cambridge. Mike Allen
will continue as site director for the company in Birmingham working alongside Tim
Pelari. Commenting on his new role Richard said, "I have worked for Wallwork
Heat Treatment for almost 35 years and been a director for 23, during a period of
unprecedented growth and development. I now feel that it is right to look for a
better work and life balance. I will continue on a part time basis, working with Peter
on development projects. I am happy to be able to step back from a front line role
and continue to make a contribution to the business so that there is continuity."
"Richard has made a significant contribution to the business and we are pleased to
have made a succession arrangement that retains his skills and experience in the
business as we enter out next phase of investment and growth," added Group
chairman Hamish Wallwork". You have to love this headline from new furnace
builder SECO/WARWICK; "SECO/WARWICK's Technology Conquers South
America". This refers to an order the company received from Tenaris, a tube mill
located in Argentina for a state of the art walking beam furnace which will be
commissioned in September 2013. In Canada we see that commercial heat treater
Metex Heat Treating has just placed an order for a new AFC-Holcroft batch IQ
furnace with working dimensions of 36" X 48" X 36". The furnace will go in line with
another AFC-Holcroft batch IQ line that the company already has. Metex has grown
into one of the larger commercial heat treaters in Canada with the ability to heat
treat 350,000 pounds/day which includes batch furnaces, continuous and Induction.
The company has recently seen a great deal of growth recently in automotive
transmission components. By the way this is not the only furnace the company is
buying, very shortly they will be adding a large mesh belt annealing furnace. The
photo below shows Gord Montgomery (AFC-Holcroft rep) shaking hands on the
order with the owner of Metex, Mr. Surjit Bawa.
In the US it appears that captive heat treater Klein Tools in Skokie, IL will be
auctioning off a surplus 4,000 pound/hour Rogers cast link belt line. It looks like a
pretty nice furnace and isn't that old (1996) but cast link lines have largely fallen
out of favor so I would not expect this to be an easy sell. Again in the US we ran
across a pretty interesting article about commercial heat treater MMS out in
Davenport, Iowa which specializes in vacuum carburizing.

Used Equipment
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.
Don’t see what you are looking for? Let us know and we will find it for you. Please feel free
to Contact Us.
Listing Used Equipment
Want to get true market value for your used heat treating equipment? themonty.com is

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.
