Bodycote or FNA? FNA or Bodycote? Throw your government forecasts out the window
we have long maintained that the best barometers of the health of the worldwide heat
treating is how commercial heat treater Bodycote is doing and the attendance at heat
treat exhibitions. The health of international heat treater Bodycote depends upon the
vitality of the metal working industry and with most analysts suggesting that Bodycote
shares are a buy we would suggest that the company is doing quite well these days. The
largest North American heat treating exhibition of 2014, Furnaces North America is being
held next week in Nashville, TN and attendance is predicted to be excellent. Now we can
tell you that no penny pinching captive or commercial heat treater pays good money to
send heat treaters, HT engineers and Metallurgists to a trade show unless they have at
least some interest in upgrading or adding to their equipment. So with Bodycote shares
doing well and predicted excellent attendance at FNA we need no further proof that these
are the good times for our industry. Hope to see you next week.

Texas!
Alphatek of Texas, a group of service oriented professionals,
ready to be of service to your operation! We are proud to look
back over the years, 3 to be exact, to the people that have
believed in our vision, of Service, ON TIME, ON Budget, and ON
Target. As we celebrate our third year, we reach out to those
of you who have asked for our assistance, in many states, in
many countries! To you we say Thank You! Without you, we
could not exist. We hope that you will always hold us to this
concept! When we started, in the garage, with a dream and a
desire for providing quality, reliable service, we had but one
question, “What do we do now?”. You soon responded, with
requests, to startup vacuum furnaces, update controls, find and
repair leaks, mechanical refurbishment, and many other
services that we have provided. You responded, over and over
again, with new projects, expansion equipment, and requests
to purchase parts and supplies, to provide for the uptime, that
you needed to run your shop! Again, Thank you for allowing us
to be of service!
If you had to look through our eyes, you would have seen a
journey that was amazing. Interstate, as well as International
acclaim, and requests for service.
It is with this International theme that we have reached out to
Econox, a company of Alle, Switzerland, providing a “Gold
Standard” of high quality Oxygen probes for Heat Treating
Furnaces. Where precision control of Carbon Potential is
essential, Uptime is a must, and local support and service is
economical, both in time savings and value for your
investment! What is the history of Econox, and how did it
become the Powerhouse of Carbon Probes, in Europe, and
what can the cooperation of Alphatek and Econox provide for
you?
Econox – Their Story, in Their Words:
“ECONOX is a company that was founded in 1984. It is located
in the Swiss Jura, 10 km from the French border. From the start,
ECONOX has developed and manufactured equipment intended
for measuring and regulating heat treatment atmospheres. The
adventure only really started in 1986 with the filing of the
patent for the first ball oxygen sensor. Since then, this has
proved to be the most reliable and robust solution, and has
continued to evolve. It was only from 2000 that ECONOX really
took off.
Since 2001, numerous developments have been carried out in
order to satisfy an ever growing and discerning demand. This is
how the "CarboProbe" range of oxygen sensors was born,
specially researched to meet the stringent requirements of the
ceramics industry, research laboratories, potters as well as
universities. As well as being the partner of choice for any
oxygen measurement system (or measurement of %C),
ECONOX also supplies metalwork/sheet metalwork parts in
steel, stainless steel or heat-resistant steel, ceramic
components for universities and laboratories as well as a
complete range of thermocouples (K, S, and N) in a wide variety
of lengths.”
To celebrate its anniversary, ECONOX has changed its look and
is offering 10% discount vouchers to be redeemed in its new
on-line shop. To benefit from this, simply use the following

Northland Heat Treating, Antigo, Wisconsin. We mentioned just last week about a
rumor about a commercial heat treat in Wisconsin closing down. It now sounds like it is fairly
definite that Northland Heat Treating in Antigo, WI has pretty much closed their doors. As a
small family business ourselves we always lament other family businesses closing down.
Northland was a small operation operating batch IQ furnaces and while we are not sure why
circumstances seen to have caught up with them, they obviously did. September 30/2014

“The Wallwork Group will showcase their extensive services for heat treatment, micro fine
surface coatings, vacuum brazing and research and development capabilities at the
Advanced Engineering Show. The company will be emphasizing service to clients, particularly
the rapid turnaround in processing components, in keeping with aerospace,
motorsport and engineering demands for lean and just-in-time production.
“The major challenge for all engineering manufacturers is to improve
component and business performance. We support these objectives with a
range of heat treatment and coating processes to modify the surface
characteristics of components and tools to enhance service life and
performance. To back this up we have a world class R&D facility and a
dedicated logistics operation able to collect and return components quickly
so clients can maintain production momentum,” explained sales and
marketing director Simeon Collins. Wallwork operate a national service from
three sites, Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge. This places them close
to major aerospace, engineering and motorsport centres and good proximity
to leading universities and research establishments. Facilities are accredited
by Nadcap, aerospace majors such as BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls Royce and
many other leading manufacturers. Carbon coatings include the full
spectrum of finishes from highly lubricious graphitic films to diamond
coating with extreme hardness. Diamond coating is particularly applicable to
tools used in drilling and cutting composites in aerospace and
motorsport/automotive industries. Conventionally hardened tools produce
ragged edged cuts causing secondary damage and weakening of the material. Diamond
coated tools cut cleanly and last longer. Fewer stoppages for tool changes give higher quality
yield and productivity to lower unit cost. The company also offer a full range of traditional
vacuum, sealed quench and salt bath heat treatment processes. These permit the metal
hardening of engineering components to improve their performance and cost effectiveness.
Wallwork has greatly extended its capability in bespoke and volume vacuum brazed
components, combining high strength joints with the ductility to cope with vibration and
stress. These properties arise from brazing under high vacuum eliminating surface oxidation
so that materials are more effectively bonded. Having a variety of vacuum furnaces available
to support this process, the company is able to scale up from development work to volume
production."

furnace and it marks our foray into the Middle East market," said Nagarjun Sakhamuri,
Managing Director of HHV. "It is a privilege for HHV to be recognized by KISR, having placed
an order for such a large size, complex heat treatment vacuum furnace. More than four
decades of experience in innovative design and development of vacuum equipment has
helped make HHV the market leader in the vacuum heat treating industry," he added".
Monday Morning Briefing. We will start off with a press release from furnace manufacturer
AFC-Holcroft. “(September, 2014) AFC-Holcroft has received an order for a complete Mesh
Belt Austemper Line from a major supplier of automotive components. The order is for a
complete gas-fired austemper facility, consisting of a computerized loading system to feed
the parts into the furnace belt; a gas-fired mesh-belt austenitizing furnace with three zones
of control to heat the parts to the process temperature; an integral, gas-fired salt
toquenching tank to quench the hot parts in molten salt; and a spray-dunk washer clean
the products after they exit the system. AFC-Holcroft’s BeltMaster Control System will
monitor and control the flow of product, as well as maintain load tracking, history and recipe
storage and management for the line. The mesh belt facility has been designed to meet the
requirements of CQI-9. The equipment is expected to be delivered to the customer’s plant in
Ontario, Canada in the first quarter of 2015. Mike Neumann of AFC-Holcroft stated, “Our
company has been building and operating continuous austempering equipment for nearly 30
years. Our extensive experience and reputation in austempering was a key consideration in
our customer’s decision to purchase AFC-Holcroft equipment.” Out in California a
manufacturer of process and temperature control systems is in the process of installing
2Abar-Ipsen HR24x36 vacuum furnaces which will be used for brazing. This is a
company which had always outsourced their brazing requirements however due to increasing
demand the company has decided to bring this work in house. So how are we doing? Metal
Treating Institute, MTI (the largest organization of commercial heat treaters in North
America) says we are doing pretty well these days. “Year-to-date sales for the Metal Treating
Institute through August 2014 were $627.7 million, an increase of 3.8% from JanuaryAugust 2013 when sales totaled $604.7 million. Sales for MTI in August 2014 were $79.2
million, an increase over August 2013 when ales equaled $76 million. Six out of nine MTI

Hind Vacuum Company/Bangalore India. While we have never heard of Hind Vacuum

years specializing in vacuum furnaces. Hind sent us this press release about an order they
received from a company in Kuwait. September 30/2014
districts reported higher sales in August 2014 compared to August 2013. The Southwest
district (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana and Utah) experienced the highest
increase at 15.4%, followed by Canada (10.2% increase)”.
And to round things out we have been bombarded as usual with e-mails about Marketing
Studies concentrating on the Heat Treating Industry. The most recent one is about global
demand for industrial furnaces and has this to say; “As stated by the new market research
report on Industrial Furnaces and Ovens Europe represents the largest
market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a
projected CAGR of 4.3% over the analysis period. As the global
manufacturing hub, increased manufacturing activity, large pool of low-cost
and skilled labor and close proximity to lucrative markets are providing a
major boost to demand, particularly in China and India. Strong
manufacturing activity, steady economic development, growing automotive
production, increasing demand for and production of various production line
machinery, and robust construction activity, represent other growth drivers
in the region”. Ok we agree with Asia having the fastest growth for
furnaces, possibly the European market is the largest for new furnaces
although our gut feel is that the North American market is larger with all the
growth in Mexico but the end of the sales pitch lists key players as; “AFCHolcroft, Airtec Thermoprocess GmbH, AVS Inc., Beijing Shenwu
Environment & Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Can-Eng Furnaces
International Limited, Carbolite Limited, CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace
Co., Ltd., Consolidated Engineering Company, Despatch Industries, Dijko

Industrial Furnace Company, Ipsen, Lenton, Nachi-Fujikoshi Corp., Pyradia,
Siemens VAI Metals Technologies GmbH, Solo Swiss Group, Tenova S.P.A, and Wisconsin
Oven Corporation, among others”. Now we do have a beef with this list. Yes some of these
are certainly amongst the largest in the world but how on earth could this report mention
some relatively small (and in some cases virtually unknown players) and miss out on Ebner
Furnaces of Germany, Aichelin of Austria and Surface Combustion in the US? Perhaps
we are being too hard on the producers of this report but we have seen so many reports that

Corey Manufacturing in Corey, PA just finished installing a brand new Ipsen Titan
vacuum furnace. Corey Manufacturing is an aerospace supplier with a reasonably large in
house heat treating department which is absolutely top notch. Induction heat treat supplier
Ambrell sold two EASYHEAT 10-kW induction heating systems for thread rolling to a
fastener manufacturer for the aerospace industry. The rods, depending on the material, need
to heat up to 482°C (900°F). The systems will be tested in the US before being shipped to
China. Whatever happened to heat treating of gears for the Wind Energy Business? It
appears every time we turn around another company is abandoning the industry with the
most recent one being located in Elgin, Illinois(we have a banner ad on this page about the
upcoming auction which will include some extremely impressive pit carburizing furnaces) and
mark our words more will follow. It’s a shame at it held such huge promise for the heat
treating industry just a few years ago but at the end of the day it “fizzled”. It is a week today

Al-Fe Heat Treat Press Release. As the largest commercial aluminum heat treater in
North America Al-Fe lives and dies by the auto industry. According to this press release the
company is not only living but living very well these days which is great to see-good
company. September 25/2014
"Saginaw, MI—A powerful expansion to the existing partnership between Al-Fe Heat Treating
and Ford Motor Company is building the foundation of a game-changing vehicle in the
passenger truck world—the new 2015 Ford F-150. Al-Fe Heat Treating is investing millions of
dollars in its Saginaw plant as part of Al-Fe’s alliance with Ford to process structural parts for
the all-new military grade aluminum alloy and high-strength steel F-150. This premier
flagship truck will be one of the first to offer lightweight design, dramatically increasing fuel
efficiency while still maintaining Built Ford Tough® strength. It is yet another smart step
forward in the ongoing relationship between Ford and Al-Fe to bring the best in new
automotive technology to the marketplace. Industry, government and consumer demands
are fostering the shift to lighter vehicles. In an effort to meet increased MPG standards, the
projected aluminum content in vehicles will increase from 343 pounds currently to 550
pounds by 2025. From engine blocks to impact beams, aluminum will be a vital component
of all vehicles going forward. However, using lighter weight aluminum in engines and vehicle
frames necessitates a unique method of heat treating, one that minimizes torque, distortion
and cracking, while still maintaining part integrity. Enter Precision Air Quenching (PAQ), a
revolutionary process which offers significant benefits over traditional quenching methods.

Spectrum Thermal Processing. It was not until recently that we learned that Hayes Heat
Treating in Cranston, Rhode Island changed ownership earlier this year. It turns out that
Steve Egan, Paul Squizzero and Rick Houghton purchased the assets of the company and
renamed it Spectrum Thermal Processing. All of these individuals each have over 20 years
experience in the heat treating industry we believe mainly with Hayes Heat Treating. While
Hayes Heat Treating was and probably still is a medium sized shop the company is so rich in
history that it is worth mentioning. Originally it was started by the Hayes family who also
owned CI Hayes Furnace Company (now part of the Gasbarre Group). In it’s heyday CI
Hayes Furnace Company was the pioneer in vacuum oil quench furnaces and turning out one
new furnace per week which is an amazing number. While you could dispute this statement
CI Hayes was a pioneer in vacuum carburizing. At this point we are not aware of any of the
Hayes family still being involved in heat treating but we wish Steve, Paul and Rick the best of
luck and hope that they continue this amazingly long lived story. September 26/2014
“All these parts that were traditionally made out of heavy steel will now be
manufactured using lightweight aluminum, which will have a dramatic impact
on fuel efficiency and vehicular design,” says John Holifield, Vice President of
Heat Treating Operations at Al-Fe Saginaw. “Precision Air Quenching is a
process that allows automotive part manufacturers to build frames, engines
and other parts out of aluminum, providing the best of strength and
lightweight design into one.” The 2015 Ford F-150 will be an industry leader in the push to
lighter vehicles, using more military grade aluminum alloy than any other vehicle on the
market. “We are proud and honored to be part of this truck of the future,” says Holifield. “At
Al-Fe Heat Treating, we are committed to designing processes for the future needs of our
customers—and this partnership is a perfect example of providing exactly what the customer
needed, at exactly the right time.”
About Al-Fe Heat Treating; Headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Al-Fe Heat Treating, Inc.,

In order to transfer heavier steel stampings to lightweight aluminum, Ford needed a solution
for heat treating these aluminum parts to the required mechanical properties while
controlling and minimizing distortion. Al-Fe Heat Treating is providing that
solution, by investing $7-10 million dollars into their Saginaw, MI plant to
build a state-of-the-art heat treating system that utilizes Precision Air
Quenching. The stampings will be manufactured by a Tier One stamping
supplier to Ford. Al-Fe is also partnering with Can-Eng International to
upgrade and customize the controls on Al-Fe’s continuous solution furnace,
as well as build and install the Precision Air Quench system. In addition,
Can-Eng will assist in adapting the configuration of the automated
conveyors, delivering the parts immediately to Al-Fe’s existing continuous
age oven, thereby completing the artificial aging process. These two
powerhouses in the heat treating industry are joining forces to help make
this incredible new truck a reality.

Worldwide Heat Treatment Pricing. Now this is very cool. Janusz Kowalewski,
Managing Director & CEO of ALD Dynatech Furnaces in India has put together this chart of
pricing of heat treating around the world. Now being a very experienced guy in the world of
heat treating he has also offered a couple of what we would call disclaimers; "The costs were
given (in range if possible) and doesn’t taken into consideration job lot sizes, services
provided such as transportation, or quality of heat treatment. Another example in question is
the cost of heat treatment for vacuum carburizing in China. The cost of vacuum carburizing
is the same as vacuum heat treatment. The data confirms extremely competitive prices in
the US, despite much higher labor cost compare to Asian countries. Prices were gathered
from commercial heat treating shops between May and September, 2014". In spite of this
disclaimer we are impressed as we have never seen such a comparison of pricing around the
world. One point which we have emphasized over the past couple of years is that heat
treating in North America enjoys much lower energy costs than the rest of the world which
should lead to lower pricing. Brazil puzzles us though-the market is not great for heat
treaters there and we were rather surprised to see such high pricing. We can only assume
that this is a combination of high energy and high import costs making all heat treating
related equipment from outside of Brazil amazingly expensive. September 25/2014

"I read the Salazar article on safety and could not agree with him more on training;
however, he fails to address as big an issue as lack of training - SAFETY CULTURE. When I
speak about safety I finish the discussion by addressing the culture side with the analogy of
traffic safety. Virtually everyone understands driving distracted, impaired, faster than
conditions permit etc.
Yet virtually everyone breaks the rules (law) at some time thinking they are "skilled" enough
to cheat the system. Most of the time we get away with this cheating resulting in future
transgressions feeling more safe. Read the paper, daily in our communities we read the
tragic results of failure to abide by the rules. Enter law enforcement. If you are not actively
monitoring safety compliance and delivering citations (progressive consequences) then YOU
are complicit in causing injury and death. You have created a culture that does not value
employee safety.
The worst experience of my career in thermal processing was to have fatalities occur on my
watch, especially when we focused hard on training, compliance, personal safety equipment
and systems. We thought we had safe work places when in reality safety came behind
production." Respectfully, John D Hubbard

Safety Issues. This being a potentially dangerous industry safety is always an issue.
Yesterday we had an article about gas safety issues in North America, today we are very
pleased to have these comments from Mr. John Hubbard, former CEO of heat treating giant
Bodycote. Knowing John as we do we know these thoughts are from the heart and based
upon a lifetime of experience in the heat treating industry. September 24/2014

TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority). Heat Treating can be a dangerous
business and most areas around the world (if not all) have created a vast network of rules
and regulations to make sure that safety is enforced. In Ontario and indeed most parts of
Canada the regulatory body for these safely issues is TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety
Authority) with the US equivalent being NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association). While
these standards are important it would be unlikely to find a heat treater who at one point or
another has not taken to profanity at some of the regulations which are covered. Greg
Salazar of Salazar Industrial Training has spent 35 years involved in the fuels industry with
16 being involved in training on these issues. Greg has provided this with this summary very
aptly named TSSA, Friend or Foe. To add a bit more background to this story this is what
TSSA is responsible for;
"TSSA's Fuels Safety Program regulates the transportation, storage, handling and use of
fuels as to ensure conformance to the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000, and
applicable regulations, codes and standards. These fuels include natural gas, propane,

"TSSA Friend or Foe? Many in the Heat Treat industry have had a run-in
with TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) at some point during
their careers. TSSA has been the dominant force in the Fuels industry in
North America for quite some time and is the force that upholds the law
regarding fuel safety and operation of gas fired equipment in Ontario. The
Technical Standards and Safety Act is a set of laws set out by the legislature
that govern the gas industry and the Regulations 212/215/235 etc, are the
regulations pertaining to the safe operation of gas fired equipment in
Ontario. These are all legal requirements. Everyone who works on, services,
maintains or installs equipment that burns a gaseous fuel in Ontario is
required to be licensed to do so. The codes B149-1 -2 -3 -4 -5 etc, provide
general requirements and directions on what can be used and how to use
it. These codes are National codes with regulations specific to Ontario as represented by the
Regulation 212/215/211 etc,. Each province has their own regulations to abide by, some are
the same as Ontario's and some may differ slightly. In the USA the regulatory body that
upholds the code is NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association). Their rules and regulations
are similar to Ontario's but are not routinely upheld to our standards. When a piece of

It’s almost a year ago since German auto parts supplier ZF Transmissions Gray Court,
LLC, located in Laurens County, SC announced it was adding a mammoth addition to their
plant an addition which included a heck of a lot more heat treating capacity. The company
certainly followed through and now has Ipsen pusher furnaces and one of the largest vacuum
carburizing installitons on the continent. All of this capacity is dedicated to the production
of an 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP), as well as the world’s first 9-speed automatic
transmission (9HP). We now move on to a press release from vacuum “guys” AlphaTek

Monday Morning Briefing. We are going to start off with a press release from AFCHolcroft referencing a new Batch IQ order the company received. If you cast your mind
back to last week you will remember that commercial heat treater Advanced Heat Treat
Corp. based in Waterloo, Iowa sent us a press release about a number of large investment
the company was making. We now know that the Batch IQ Advanced mentioned was being
provided by AFC-Holcroft. “September, 2014: Advanced Heat Treat in Waterloo, Iowa, USA,
has completed the purchase of a UBQ (Universal Batch Quench) furnace line for their
increased production requirements. The new line is designed to integrate with Advanced
Heat Treat’s existing Holcroft brand batch furnace line. The recent order consists of a family
of AFC-Holcroft’s integrated UBQ (Universal Batch Quench) products, and is comprised of an
integral quench furnace sized 36-48-36 with top cool, a UBT Temper furnace, UBW Washer,
UBTC double-ended Transfer Car and EZ Series 4500 endothermic gas generator. The
double-ended charge car will service both the new line as well as the existing equipment.
“Advanced Heat Treat Corp. is pleased to meet customer demand and invest in the future
with the addition of this new equipment. This furnace will allow us increased capacity of
carburizing, carbonitriding and quench and temper projects” stated Gary Sharp, President
and CEO”. Since we are on the topic of new furnace orders let’s mention that Bodycote,
Arlington, Texas is pretty pleased with a Surface Endothermic generator they recently
received. In the photo below we have from left to right; Michael Keca, GM, Shawna
Hooper, Customer Service Manager, David Bailey, Induction Supervisor, Rosalio
Rodriguez, Production Supervisor Joeseph Streubel, Planner and Jack Stevens, Plant
Manager. The Arlington location is most likely the largest single location that Bodycote has in
North America. Since we’re mentioning Endo Generators we might as well add that 95% of
heat treaters in North America use an atmosphere generated by an Endothermic unit as
opposed to a Nitrogen/Methanol for the simple reason that it is one heck of a lot cheaper.
down in Houston, Texas. “Alphatek of Texas, Inc. built and installed an electric drying oven
for an anodizing operation in Chicago, IL. The modular design incorporated Steel and
Aluminum Modular components both to minimize shipping cost and provide for ease of
expansion, has a top temperature rating(for this application) of 300 degrees F, and a fully
accessible load zone of 72”W X 72”H X 36” D, to meet the customer’s requirement. The
customer has been utilizing the oven for several months, and reports notable increased
productivity and reliable operation, since the installation".
Heat Treating in North America is booming these days but of course there are always

When we think of Oerlikon Metco we think more surface treatment than
heat treating but according to this press release the company is strongly
pushing Plasma Nitriding in China, "Oerlikon Metaplas, as part of Oerlikon
Metco, meets these demands and expands its global presence for nitriding
technologies. The IONIT treatment service is now offered to customers in
China. With roughly a half century of Heat Treatment technology experience
Oerlikon Metaplas is the technology leader. The plasma-supported IONIT
process, combining plasma nitriding and plasma nitrocarburizing, is
environmentally
friendly
and
already
used
for
many automotive components. In China, the international operating
automotive industry can benefit from the exact same processes as in
Europe. Current and future developments of state-of-the-art engines and
gearboxes will increase the need for heat-treated components. The most
common applications are automotive gear transmission components, like
synchronizing disks and bodies, disk carriers, clutch disks, differential pinion
shafts and selector shafts. Gearboxes convert engine speed and torque
along the drivetrain, thus putting the available engine performance literally
on the road. The latest engine developments, for example, work with more
powerful or multiple turbochargers. The goal is to combine the demand for
more torque and power, once considered complementary, with reduced fuel consumption
and emissions. Due to this reason, a surface solutions partner outside of Europe is required
to guarantee the same component quality and reliability". In people news we see that our
friend Fabien Marquis is now the International Business Development Director for GH
Induction Group, we will have to congratulate him at the upcoming heat treat show in
Cologne Germany in a couple of months. In where are they now news we ran across Randy

And last but not least fairly recently it was announced that Applied Process had taken on
High Street Capital as a majority partner. This press release recently came out and it gives
a couple of more details not available in the first press release. "LIVONIA,
Mich. Sept. 17, 2014—Applied Process Inc. (AP) has taken on High Street
Capital (HSC), Chicago, Ill., as a majority interest equity partner. This move
adds essential resources that will not only expand the company’s
capabilities, but will also continue to improve their industry-leading service
and allow them to expand even more geographically. High Street Capital is
a private equity firm that has been partnering with and growing successful
companies since 1997. High Street finds differentiated companies and
provides equity and experience to build winning businesses with strong
growth prospects. Dick McClain, an HSC principal, explained that they are
investing in Applied Process because they believe in the management, the
people and the business. “The High Street Capital partners are looking
forward to working with the world-class leadership team and employees at
AP and to continue ‘growing the pie for Austempering,’” he said. John
Keough, AP’s founder, stated, “We are pleased to have a strong partner in
High Street Capital going forward. I plan, as always, to be actively engaged
in the growth of the business and the profitable conversion of components

one.” Applied Process Inc. was incorporated in 1984 as a stand-alone
division of Atmosphere Group in Wixom, Mich., before President John (Chip)
R. Keough moved them to their current address in Livonia. In 1993, Keough transitioned out
of Atmosphere Group, and he, along with his wife and kids, became 100 percent owners.
Because of the demand for AP’s Austemper-focused technologies, the company expanded to
AP Westshore in Oshkosh, Wisc. Recently they have added a Monster Parts™ plant in
Oshkosh. Applied Process President John Wagner said, “Austempering offers our customers
a cost effective way to obtain stronger, lighter and less expensive parts. We have been able
to offer this practical and vendible experience in many different countries as we keep

Advanced Heat Treat Corp./Waterloo, Iowa. There is a very interesting story behind
Advanced Heat Treat. It was founded by Mr. Gary Sharp many years ago and based upon a
technology which at the time was relatively unknown in North America-Plasma or Ion
Nitriding. Gary started off on this basis of this technology and almost single handedly turned
Plasma Nitriding into a recognized and respected heat treating process in North America.
Since that time Advanced has turned into far and away the largest Plasma Nitrider in North
America and quietly become one of the larger commercial heat treaters on the continent.

Monday Morning Briefing. To start off we see that Bluewater Thermal one of the
largest heat treaters in North American has a new CEO by the name of Jeff Hemmer. We
have personally known Jeff for sometime and we will see he is a good very experienced heat

am thrilled to announce that Jeff Hemmer is being promoted to the position of President and
Chief Operating Officer of Bluewater Thermal. In this role, Jeff will be directly responsible for
all aspects of the Company’s strategic growth initiatives as well as daily execution.
Consequently, his responsibility set will include actively managing and leading the critical
functional areas of the business including operations, commercial, finance, engineering,
safety and technical, among others. Each of the Directors of those functional areas as well as
the plant General Managers will report to Jeff. Jeff will in turn report directly to me and the
other members of the Board of Managers of BWT LLC. As you are aware, Jeff was recently
promoted to Chief Operating Officer in March of this year. It is uncommon, and a testament
to Jeff’s integrity, leadership and tireless efforts to ensure the success of Bluewater and its
employees, to subsequently be promoted again to the highest levels of the organization in
just six months. I have learned much about Jeff from working closely with him these last
eight months, most of which you likely already understand about him. Jeff is trustworthy and
earns the trust of those he works with closely, both internal and external to Bluewater. He is
thoughtful about company resources, both our human as well as our capital resources. He is
respected by employees, customers, suppliers and others broadly in the industry. He has an
unfailing drive to win and has the confidence and experience to act decisively in order to take
us where we need to go. He is passionate about our Company, its bright future and the
people who work for it. Please join me in congratulating Jeff as he takes on this new role as

One of the largest commercial heat treaters in Michigan, Heat Treating Services suffered a
small fire last week. “An employee at Heat Treating Service Corporation was hurt while
working to extinguish a fire that broke out in an oil tank at the plant on Pontiac’s southeast
side Monday afternoon, but is expected to recover. The flash fire started in
what’s known as a quench tank, which is usually full of oil but had been
emptied for cleaning or maintenance, said general manager Sunil Jain. The
cause of the fire is unknown. The injured employee was using a carbon
dioxide fire extinguisher when the chemicals blew back in his face. He was
taken to St. Joseph Mercy Oakland and was expected to be released, Jain
said. The plant, which treats mostly automotive parts, suffered limited
damage and was expected to reopen in the morning, Jain said. The quench
tanks used as part of the heat treating process hold 5,000 to 6,000 gallons
of oil. The fire started at 5 p.m. Monday and generated thick, black smoke.
Firefighters used foam to smother the oil vapors and were able to put out
the blaze in about a half-hour, said Fire Marshal Matt Covey”. Of mild
interest to a number of industry suppliers is the fact that Federal-Mogul
Holdings Corporation of Southfield, Michigan, USA, has announced that its
Powertrain division has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to
acquire TRW's engine valve business. We say of mild interest because while
both have very large in house heat treating departments in a number of
different plants around the world at the end of the day probably the only
thing that will change is the name on the outside of the buildings.

Continuing on with “people news” we see a couple of promotions at commercial heat treat
giant Bodycote. The first is long time employee Paul Dymond who was formerly Technical
Manager at Bodycote in Empalme, Mexico is now Account Manager at Bodycote in Arlington,
Texas (this was Metroplex Heat Treat until it was acquired by Bodycote a number of years
back). We also see that Josh Longenette recently became the General Manager at the
Rancho Dominguez location after having been Plant Manager and Manager. In the world of
captive heat treating it would appear that Lambert Havelka who is in charge of heat
treating at fastener manufacturer Alcoa Fastening Systems in Waco, Texas is retiring next
February. We ran across Lambert and his son James this past weekend on a hunting

Norma Jean Dove Hunt. This weekend marks the last of the bi annual Norman Jean Dove
Hunts organized by long time Texas heat treat rep Danny McWilliams. This year the
gathering will include well over 100 heat treaters both commercial and captive and a number
of industry suppliers. As a prelude to this event heat supplier Wirco (heat resistant alloy
furnace components) arranged a small event which includes Carlos Torres of Mattsa
(Mexico), Bill Akre of Diamond Heat Treat (Rockford) and Ryan Fussell of Southwest Metal
Treating in Fort Worth to name a few. The photo below gives you an idea of the gathering
and shows you most of the "Wirco Team". September 12/2014

And what do heat treaters in North America do for fun? Why go hunting in Texas of course.
As mentioned last week this past weekend was the final bi annual “Norma Jean” Dove
Hunt in Goldthwaite, Texas organized by long time heat treat rep Danny
McWilliams. Roughly 100 captive and commercial heat treaters as well as industry suppliers
were in attendance and this gives you an idea about what happens when heat treaters get
together. A few more photos to come this week. September 15/2014
Birth of a Heat Treat/Doksan Heat Treatment. Over the past 2 weeks we have shown
you photos of the birth of a "greenfield" commercial heat treat firm starting with an empty
building and progressing to the equipment being delivered and gradually installed. We are
now up to the stage where some of the equipment such as the batch IQ furnaces and the
induction lines are producing parts. This must be a joy to the owner’s heart to be producing
revenue as opposed to an endless investment. September 12/2014

Service Heat Treating. Earlier this week we had a rumor that a large commercial heat
treater in the Milwaukee, WI area was in the process of adding 2 gas nitriding systems. We
can now confirm that long established heat treater Service Heat Treating
http://serviceheattreatingmilwaukeewi.com/index.html is indeed making a large investment
in the form of 2 Nitrex gas nitriding systems. The 2 nitriders are 1000mm diameter x
1500mm deep with an expected delivery date of late October 2014 with startup by mid
November of this year. Our understanding is that the company already has a great deal of
work lined up for these furnaces. In addition to gas nitriding Service also offers Vacuum heat
treating, Vacuum Carburizing, Batch IQ processing and Nitrocarburizing to name a few. All
in all we know that the President of the company Mr. Paul Armitage is pretty excited about

Mr. Sumida/DOWA Thermotech. We have a really fascinating interview today with Mr.
Sumida, President of Japan based Dowa Thermotech. Fascinating because Dowa is by any
measure one of the largest commercial heat treaters in the world as well as being one of the
world's largest new furnace builders with over 2,700 furnaces delivered worldwide over the
years. Mr. Sumida gives us a great deal of detail about the size of the company, where their
heat treat plants are, a breakdown of where their furnaces have been delivered and a peak
at where the company is going. September 10/2014
1) The history of Dowa is a long (well over 100 years) and interesting story. Would you be
able to give us a brief history of the company?
"Our foundation date was 1884 Sep 18th when our founder Denzaburo Fujita bought Kosaka
mining from Meiji government. We have a number of big and small excellent companies in
Japan, but there are few companies which have survived more than 130 years. These
prestige companies such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Furukawa etc all started in metal
mining or coal mining.
DOWA holdings Co., Ltd. which is the main stream of Fujita group, has not became as big as
groups such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo group etc., but has gone through a rapidly
changing social situation and currently consists of 5 businesses such as Environment and
recycle, Metal process and Heat treatment etc.
Dowa Thermotech was founded in 1958 as Tokyo Heat treatment Co., Ltd which was the
pioneers of the heat treatment industry in Japan. DOWA Thermotech actively developed its
business based on the automotive industry and has 8 plants in Japan and has developed
overseas business in India, Southeast Asia, China and USA.

Andrew Bassett/Aerospace Testing & Pyrometry, Inc. Since the ALS Ice Bucket
challenge went viral on the web, it was a matter of time that someone would put me up to
the challenge. So being one not to back down from a challenge, I went ahead with the
dosing of the ice water and then nominated all the employees of ATP and their spouses to
participate. With doing so, ATP will donate $100.00 per employee, spouse and child that
accepts the challenge to ALS Foundation. Thought you might enjoy a little bit of the lighter

Monday Morning Briefing. If you are in Cleveland, Ohio there is a new heat treat in town
by the name of Ohio Vertical Heat Treat (or O.V.H.T to you). We’ve never heard of this
place before but the company claims that can vertically handle parts up to 72” in diameter
and 16’ long and processes include Stress relieving, heat treating, normalizing, tempering,
annealing & aging. While the company website is brief the contact is an individual by the
name of Britt Morrow again a name which doesn’t mean anything to us. Our guess would
be that this is the old BFG Aircraft facility which had a large heat treat department but which
has been closed for some time. Our personal opinion is that there is a shortage of

In people news a very well respected individual by the name of Gajen Dubal just retired
after a remarkable 45 years in the industry. "Gajen Dubal first started working for Park
Chemical back in June 1969. During that time he worked as a “Special Project Engineer”
with his main function being working as a customer service engineer, but also worked on the
technical aspects of “No-Cy®” which is a carburizing salt that doesn’t contain sodium
cyanide. He had direct input in three different patents involving salt reclamation systems,
and was mentioned in “Who’s Who” Engineering Magazine in 1975. After leaving Park 1978
and returning in 1997, Gajen was hired back as a “Quenchant Specialist” in June. Gajen’s
responsibilities included offering customers technical support in using Park’s oil, polymer,
and salt quenchants. Customer visits included traveling to Canada, Mexico, China, and the
United States. Other accomplishments included giving numerous technical talks at Furnaces
North America and ASM Heat Treat shows, publishing quenching papers in heat treating
related magazines, and developed Heatbath / Park Metallurgical’s Enviroquench® which is an
environmentally friendly quenchant to replace fast oils. Gajen’s retirement was on

out very well. And speaking of new heat treats let’s move on to the largest US based
commercial heat treater, Bluewater Thermal who has a brand new plant in Ridgway, PA.
"Bluewater Thermal Solutions has expanded its solutions service offerings once again and
opened a new Induction facility in Ridgway, PA. The 12,000 square foot facility has been
renovated to support their full-service induction operation as well as a state of the art
metallurgical laboratory. The Saint Marys facility has been providing induction services to

from Saint Marys and the addition of a fully automated 5 spindle Taylor-Winfield unit have
allowed Bluewater to provide dedicated induction services to their customers. Production
started at the Ridgway facility in February 2014 and it is located at 337 North Broad Street in
Ridgway, PA. “We are very excited about the expanded capacity and capability that the
Ridgway facility is providing Bluewater Thermal Solutions customers. The dedicated facility
has room for growth which we anticipate will be needed as we continue to provide our

It looks like Lucifer Furnaces (we have always loved the name of this furnace
manufacturer) has sold a new box furnace to Quantum Machine Works Ltd. in
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. Quantum Machine Works is a manufacturer of core
drilling machines and components for the mineral exploration industry. The furnace has
working chamber dimensions of 12 inches high x 18 inches wide x 24 inches long and heats
to 2100°F. Did you notice where Quantum is located? Whitehorse is one of the most god
forsaken places in Canada and located not far from the Arctic Circle. Wonder if a sale call
was necessary? August 21 Seco Tools in Lenoir City, TN auctioned off their remaining
equipment due to the closure of this facility. Included was a number of heat treat items
mainly consisting of Lindberg batch IQ equipment. The auction was reasonably successful
with all of the heat treat furnaces. The buyers were a mix of used equipment dealers (who
paid less than market value) and end users (who paid reasonable market value). It is a sign
of the health of our industry that most heat treat equipment which comes up at auction is
bought at reasonable prices. We were disappointed to hear that Bodycote Istas Isil Islem
in Ankara, Turkey recently closed down. Disappointed because we visited this plant earlier
this year. While very modest compared to most Bodycote plants the employees were super
nice people and very hospitable. In India there is a new commercial heat treater by the
name of Modern Metals India Pvt Ltd., in Haryana. Modern Metals is owned by Metals
India one of the larger commercial heat treaters in the country. The new plant has a very
large Seco Warwick vacuum furnace and a Plateg Plasma nitrder which Modern Metals claims
is the largest in the country. The two rather poor quality photos below gives you an idea
about the new plant. September 8/2014

California Brazing Press Release. "California Brazing announces that it has been awarded
Nadcap Merit status for Heat Treating & Brazing. "Being Nadcap accredited means that you
are compliant with and have been audited to the most stringent quality standards in our
industry and are capable of processing aerospace components." Jeff Ager, General Manager,
California Brazing www.californiabrazing.com
California Brazing has held Nadcap accreditation since 2011. Having demonstrated their
ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry
specifications, the Nadcap Task Group has determined that California Brazing has earned
special recognition. This means that, instead of having their next Nadcap audit in twelve
months, California Brazing has been granted an accreditation that lasts 18 months.
“Achieving Nadcap accreditation is not easy: it is one of the ways in which the aerospace
industry identifies those who excel at manufacturing quality product through superior special
processes. Companies such as California Brazing go above and beyond achieving Nadcap
accreditation to obtain Merit status and they should be justifiably proud of it,” said Joe Pinto,
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the Performance Review Institute. “Benefitting
from a less frequent audit schedule reduces audit costs and associated pressures and
demonstrates the trust that the aerospace industry has in California Brazing, based on their
past performance in Nadcap audits. PRI is proud to support continual improvement in the
aerospace industry by helping companies such as California Brazing be successful and we
look forward to continuing to assist the industry moving forward.” About Nadcap; Created in

SECO/WARWICK Press Release. From furnace builder SECO/WARWICK this press release
is rather interesting in that our understanding is that most vacuum furnace builders
outsource their pressure vessels. September 5/2014
“SECO/WARWICK Corp. was awarded ASME pressure vessel certification earning both an “R”
and “U” stamp, enabling the facility to produce vacuum furnace shells along with a wide
variety of pressure vessel manufacturing services. According to Andrew Paris, COO, “ASME
certification is a confirmation of the quality and capability of our team here in Meadville. We
have some of the most talented fabricators and welders in the industry and this certification
gives SECO/WARWICK the opportunity to provide our customers more workmanship that
showcases that talent.” SECO/WARWICK’s Meadville manufacturing plant, an ISO 9001
certified facility since 1994, is a fully equipped, 110,000 square foot facility. The shop is
staffed with experienced technicians, including AWS certified welders. Allison Gabriel, Quality
Manager/Project Manager, commented, “Obtaining our ASME ‘U’ and ‘R’ Stamps can open up
new opportunities for SECO/WARWICK Corporation. With this certification, we can now
manufacture complete ASME stamped vacuum furnaces in-house – this ensures that we can
effectively monitor quality throughout the entire fabrication and assembly process.”

The Pusher furnace utilizes three rows in all of its main operating zones and is the first
continuous heat treatment furnace from Ipsen to feature the new, patented Lock up system.
This system incorporates an entrance vestibule and an oil bath, both of which are separated
from the Pusher furnace’s heat treatment chamber by gas-tight
doors. The furnace atmosphere thus fluctuates less in terms of
temperature and carbon potential, resulting in precise, steady
characteristics which are easy to monitor and can be adjusted
accurately. The Pusher system also employs time-tested, durable
Ipsen masonry consisting of refractory bricks for hot face insulation
and microporous material for backup insulation. Compared to
conventional designs, this results in up to a 30 percent reduction of waste heat, as
demonstrated by comparatively lower process costs. No matter your challenges or needs,
Ipsen is a source you can rely on to produce particularly demanding solutions, as well as
reduce the running costs of these systems. To read the entire article on this Pusher system
installed at Mercedes-Benz, the challenges Ipsen solved and the features this special heattreating furnace offers, visit http://bit.ly/3RowPusher." September 5/2014
1) Gurkan I know you to be a successful businessman involved in at least one venture
completely unrelated to heat treating. What made you decide to get involved in the
commercial heat treating industry?
"Gord, as you know, Heat treatment was my very first business venture. At the age of 21 I
left my small heat treating facility to one of my operators as a “Trustee” in 1998 and only
visited them 2-3 times a year until 2013. At that point the Trustee retired and I had to make
a decision at that point of time-go or not go. So I decided to invest time and money in April
2013 to improve and grow the facility. Not only for induction heat treating but also for IQ's
and Vacuum."
2) When did you start the planning for this venture and how long do you expect it will take
from the planning stages until you have a completed plant running full production?
"Exact decision date was April 2013, the first furnace started production in March 2014 and
full production will be March 2015."
3) To date you have batch IQ furnaces, Induction and vacuum capabilities either in place or
soon to be. Will this be it or are you already thinking about other technologies to add?
"Already thinking about nitriding and Vacuum carburizing."
4) I was quite impressed with the level of captive and commercial heat treating in Turkey
when I was there last year, obviously this is a growing area. Would you care to hazard a
guess as to what the growth rate for heat treating in Turkey is in terms of % increases per
year?
"My Hope is 15% annually."
5) When you are in full production you will have what anybody would consider a large
commercial heat treat. Have you worried that there is already enough capacity in Turkey or
are you very confident that another commercial shop can easily be filled with work?

most commercial operations Doksan is starting with a mix of new and used equipment. What
you see below is a used Ipsen triple chamber vacuum furnace with oil cooling and preheat
(this is the second vacuum for the company), a brand new Inductoheat Induction system
and a new storage facility being constructed. September 4/2014
"Let me say that yes I do worry about filling all of the furnaces".
6) You might not want to answer this question but would you care to give us an idea about
how large an investment this represents for you?
"No problem about it, in total with everything 3.8 mio tl ($1.8 mio usd)."
"I think Heat treat will grow like as double as Turkey’s grow rate."
8)What is your investment effect in the region?
"We think some of our regional competitors will leave the game, 2 of them are already out,
one was working with salt and the other you know about. We will keep on playing on the
game table..."
Heat Treating Quebec. A recent visit to a number of captive and commercial heat treaters
in Quebec produced a few interesting photos of which two are included below. The first
concerns commercial heat treater Metcor in St. Eustache the largest commercial operation in
the province. The photo shows one of the co-owners Mr. Yves Lachambre standing in front of
an Ipsen Titan vacuum furnace the company purchased about a year back. The second photo
shows commercial heat treater Les Trempes L.D. Inc., a small family owned operation in
Granby, Quebec. We have always had a soft spot for family owned companies and this
certainly fits the bill. What impressed us about the plant was that while small it was
absolutely impeccable-seldom do we see a shop this clean and well organized. We can tell
you that this company is expanding and that they will shortly be installing a 36 X 48 X 30
batch IQ furnace the first of several hopefully. September 3/2014

Tuesday Morning Briefing. We will start off today in the US where we recently heard a
very interesting rumor. Basically it says that a large commercial heat treater in the
Milwaukee, WI area is in the process of placing an order for 2 brand new gas nitriding
systems. We believe it to be true and will give you an update when we hear more. Another
interesting story has furnace manufacturer Surface Combustion accepting an order within
the past couple of weeks for 2 new 36 X 72 gas fired batch IQ furnaces from one of the
largest commercial heat treaters in WI. Delivery we expect will be about 26 weeks. Metal
Treating Institute (MTI to you and I) says commercial heat treaters in North America are
doing well these days. “Ytd sales for the Metal Treating Industry for July 2014 were $548.3
million, an increase of 3 7% from 2013 when sales for January July equaled $528 7 million.
Sales for the Metal Treating Industry for July 2014 totaled $78.1 million, an increase from
2013 when sales for July equaled $71.5 million. Eight out of the nine MTI districts reported
higher sales in July 2014 compared to the previous year”. In Upstate NY it looks like one of
the largest commercial heat treaters in the region, Jasco Heat Treatment recently suffered
a fairly serious fire. “Firefighters say a furnace malfunction is to blame for a fire at a metal
facility in Fairport. Crews were called to the scene at a Jasco Heat Treatment Plant on
Macedon Center Road just after midnight Friday. Extra crews were called to help battle the
flames after concerns of them possibly spreading to other parts of the building. News10NBC
has learned there were people working at the plant when the fire broke out, but they were
able to evacuate safely. Investigators say the building was not badly damaged. In April
2013, firefighters were called to the building for another fire caused by a furnace
malfunction. No one was injured”.
In India our friends at furnace builder Hightemp (which is largely owned by Japanese
furnace builder Dowa) are pretty pleased about an order they just received. The order comes
from Graziano Transmissions India Pvt. Ltd, (part of the Oerlikon Group). The order

From the UK we have this press release. “Wolfson Heat Treatment Centre's well
established three day 'Understanding Heat Treatment Course', designed to impart a general
insight into the metallurgical/technological background to heat treatment processing, is
taking place again this year from the 14th to 16th October. It provides an ideal basic
training in heat treatment for all involved with the industry without requiring any prior formal
scientific or metallurgical knowledge. Each delegate will be provided with a comprehensive
set of notes for future referral along with a certificate of attendance, quoting the contact
hours and specific topics covered. Should you require any of your employees to attend this
course, which hopefully would be a long-term benefit to both them and your company,
please complete the attached registration form and return it to the Wolfson Heat Treatment
Centre by post, fax or email. Please note that if you miss this course the next one will not
be taking place until October 2015! Should you require any further information or have any
other specific training needs relating to heat treatment, which might possibly be carried out
on a consultancy basis, please contact me at the Centre. Derek Close Metallurgical

free appraisal and an honest answer about market conditions-no BS. Before listing we will
require a signed copy of the "Terms and Conditions". Please use our Contact Form or
email Dale at [email protected] all pertinent information including asking price (which
we strongly recommend) age, condition and if possible photos. When selling please keep in

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.

Dissociator. Electrical; 440/3/60. Serviced by Sinterite, tested, but not put into production
www.themonty.com
Description: Electrically heated Ammonia Dissociator suitable for supplying up to 3000 CFH
of atmosphere with a composition of 75% Hydrogen and 25% Nitrogen. This atmosphere is
obtained by cracking anhydrous ammonia vapor in a catalyst filled vessel maintained at a
temperature of 1700°F to 1850°F. Incoming ammonia pressure is reduced before retort
entry. At the outlet of the retort the hot dissociated ammonia passes through a dry cooler
where the gas is cooled to near room temperature. It then passes through a flowmeter and
on to the consuming device. This dissociator includes a Sargeant & Wilbur Ammonia
vaporizer. This dissociator is provided with two (2)catalyst filled heat resisting alloy retorts.
The retorts are mounted within the insulated dissociator heating chamber. The heating
chamber consists of heavy Mullite T-Slot tiles. Retorts are heated with Sinuous-wound
Nichrome Ribbon Heating elements which are mounted in the tile slots. The element tails and
studs extend through the rear wall of the dissociator. Elements can be removed throught the
rear wall without having to unpack furnace insulation etc. A step-down transformer (480V to

Item #I162 Induction Press Quench System. EDMS Industrial Induction Heating and
Die Quench, New in 2003, 400kW Output Supply, 3kHz Frequency. This machine is currently
being used to reheat and die quench spiral bevel ring gears up to 500mm in diameter.
Installed to replace the rotary furnace and isolated die quench processes. This machine is
designed with an automatic conveyor and loading system to continuously heat, die quench,
and temper 500mm rings. This unit has an EFD 400kW output supply with a 1.7-3.0 kHz
frequency designed for deep and fast heat penetration which allows rings to be heated and
die quenched in just minutes. This system has an added setup to convey quenched parts to
and through a continuous Apar IPSEN tempering and preheat electric furnace with a 36" x
48" opening with a 3,000 lb load capacity. This unit also comes complete with its own
outside cooling system and monitoring to ensure flow, min/max pressure, and min/max
temperature. This fully integrated system allows the flexibility to handle parts from 125mm
to 500mm diameter. The transfer time is presently 5-6 seconds from induction to quench.
The pick and place system can be upgraded by purchasing and utilizing a robot to allow for
faster transfer time, for thin wall parts. Thus allowing the induction and quenching of
bearings, cones, and cups, as well as, outer rings and end rings.
Conversion available to make this unit a Heat and Quench station with variable high
frequency independant of the Die Quench.
