As we turn the page and enter 2012 we will make one prediction and one prediction only-2012 will continue
in the footsteps of 2011 and be a profitable and busy year for virtually everybody in the worldwide heat
treating industry (it should be pointed out that our previous predictions were a mixed bag when it came to
accuracy with our biggest blooper being that salt heat treating would diminish-we still haven't lived that one
down). However we feel comfortable predicting that 2012 will be a good year in the industry and our best
advice would be to ignore the clouds of doom and gloom that seem to be hanging over the world.
Turning over a new leaf…

Odds & Ends. To start off the new year we have a number of "odds & ends" about the heat
treating industry that occurred over the past couple of weeks. Acument Global Technologies
in Belvidere, Illinois, USA suffered a small fire in their heat treating department over the
holidays. With damage estimated at $30,000 USD this is little more than a new paint job.
Acument is a global supplier of fasteners that does in house heat treating at a number of
their locations. Scott Calardo has spent most of his working life in the heat treating industry
in North America with quite a bit of that time spent with commercial heat treating giant
Bodycote. Recently he was splitting his time between Bodycote and some other customers
however within the last couple of months he again became a full time Bodycote guy doing
troubleshooting for the company's automotive division which means he will be spending
time in North America and also in Asia. Alphatek of Texas, Inc. based in Houston, TX is a
consulting company supporting the Thermal Processing industry started late in 2011 by Paul
Zetler a fellow who has worked with firms such as Mercer Inc. The company has started off
with a bang and Paul recently hired Randy Jones, of Terre Haute, to help him out as
Midwest Project Manager. Hayes Heat Treating in Rhode Island, USA is celebrating it's 50th
birthday this year-1962-2012 which is quite a milestone. Hayes is a Nadcap approved heat
treater and is certified to AS-9100C and ISO 9000:2008. At one point the company was part
of new furnace builder CI Hayes which a number of years back (if I remember correctly)
was acquired by Sinterite Furnace Division another new furnace builder in St. Mary's PA.
Anomatic Corporation in Newark, Ohio, a supplier of anodized aluminum packaging
equipment recently received a "Red Devil" heat treating furnace from Lucifer Furnaces.

The Five Worst Things About 2011. While 2011 was a good year for most it certainly
was not perfect. Below is our list of the five worst things to happen in our industry in the
past year. December 22/2011

"FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. -- A Greenwood man suffered fatal burns early
Friday after he fell into a superheated pit at a Laurens County plant,
according to the coroner. Laurens County Coroner Nick Nichols said
Jared Lee Rousey, 29, died as a result of the industrial accident. Nichols
said emergency crews were called to the Fisher Barton plant in Fountain
Inn at 2:15 a.m. The accident happened as Rousey was preparing a heat
treatment that is used to treat metals, Nichols said. The job involved
dumping salt into a pit that is heated to extreme temperatures,
according to Nichols. The temperature of the pit at the time of the
accident was at 600 degrees, Nichols said. The pit reaches temperatures
"much, much higher," he said. Nichols said Rousey was alive after the
accident and managed to get himself out of the pit, but no one saw him
fall in. Fisher Barton South Carolina Inc. is a supplier of precision metal
stampings, welded assemblies and heat-treated products, according to
its website. The company provides low-to high-volume metal
components for a variety of industries, including automotive, industrial,
lawn and garden, material handling, hand power tools, transportation,
outdoor products and agricultural, the website said. An autopsy was set
to be performed Friday afternoon in Greenville, Nichols said."
Human Resources. The number one complaint amongst heat treaters
worldwide is the shortage of good people. Metallurgists, Engineers, Heat Treat Supervisors,
QC individuals all are in short supply. Whether this is because the is a "mature" industry
with a high percentage of older individuals, whether the recession forced a number of
qualified people into other fields, possibly the industry is not attracting enough younger
people or most likely a combination of all three of these means that many positions are
going unfilled. Rather ironic when you see the persistently high unemployment figures.
Uncertainty around the world. Yes 2011 was a good year for manufacturers but not
according to the mainstream media which has consistently and persistently been peddling
"the sky is falling" story. There is this enormous disconnect between what we see as heat
treaters and manufacturers compared to what the media would lead us to believe. So while
things are good for the time being "the sky is falling" theory does tend to hold back new
investments.
Low margins. First came globalization which lead to increased competition and lower
margins and then came a global recession to really "put the boots" to healthy profit margins
meaning margins amongst equipment suppliers and heat treaters has shrunk to near record
lows. Well globalization is not going away and we all know price increases are a hard sales
pitch. Bottom line is "it ain't going to get any better". However a number of commercial
heat treaters have found that by culling their list of customers keeping the good ones and
ditching the low profit customers has turned into reduced overall sales but increased profits
so there is a small bright spot.
www.themonty.com
Accidents. Unfortunately at the end of the day heat treating can be a dangerous business.
While no exact figures exist about the total number of accidents that occur each year in the
captive and commercial heat treating industry there are unfortunately deaths within the
industry each year. 2011 was no exception with two in the US, one at a Bearing
Manufacturer and the second from February 2011 below. I still feel for this fellow and his
family.
The Five Best Things About 2011. From the depths of the recent recession the worldwide
heat treating industry rose to almost new records in 2011. Let's have a look at some of the
high points; December 21/2011
Natural Gas Pricing. The lifeblood of most heat treaters is natural gas and gas pricing is
currently at almost record lows and is expected to remain so.
Nickel Pricing. If natural gas is the lifeblood of most heat treaters nickel is the backbone.
As the basis for most alloy components for heat treating furnaces (radiant tubes, belts,
baskets, fixtures etc.) the price of nickel has a direct bearing on the bottom line of all heat
treaters. The chart below shows that nickel is close to its lowest price for the past 5 years
and all forecasts suggest that this will not change in the near future.
www.themonty.com
Turmoil in Mexico. With NAFTA and the proximity to the enormous US market many
manufacturers looking at lower cost areas to do business have selected Mexico as their
location of choice (in particular the auto industry). To date this has been a reasonably good
decision however the escalating violence in Mexico is at least making some companies
pause in their Mexico investment plans. Friends in Mexico claim that the violence is being
"overblown" by the media and that what violence there is, is generally relegated to a few
certain areas usually away from the central Mexico area where most of the manufacturing
facilities are located. I would not dispute this claim but violence in Mexico ranks as a
potential issue down the road.
Sales. MTI (Metal Treating Institute) figures show that sales for commercial heat treaters in
2011 were up substantially from 2010 which in turn was up from 2009.
www.themonty.com
Trade Shows. The year saw a number of very successful trade shows from Therm Process
in Düsseldorf, Germany in June, to Wiesbaden, Germany in October to ASM in Cincinnati,
Ohio in November. Every show saw almost record breaking attendance and enthusiasm not
seen for several years.
New Orders. Virtually every single supplier to the industry saw improved sales. From alloy
to controls, to new furnaces it was a banner year for most. AFC-Holcroft, Ipsen and ALD all
landed multi-million dollar orders in 2011-in some cases these orders were worth over $10
million USD. Name a furnace company, Aichelin GesmbH (Austria), Surface Combustion
(USA), Hightemp Furnaces Ltd. (India), Mattsa (Mexico), Combustol (Brazil), MTH
(Germany) and I will show you a company which had an excellent year.
Paulo Products/GM Approval. The press release below comes from Paulo Products, either
the third largest or fourth largest commercial heat treater in North America (when we finally
get out list of the largest commercials put together early in January we will know for sure).
December 20/2011
"Paulo Receives Approval as a Heat Treat Source for General Motors
Powertrain. St Louis, MO – December 13, 2011 – The St Louis, MO
facility of Paulo Products Company has successfully completed all
necessary testing and has received provisional approval as a supplier to
the Powertrain Division of General Motors. This approval authorizes
Paulo to heat treat per GM Casting Tooling Standard HPDC-G-2 for GM
tooling sources and others who utilize the GM Spec. GM Powertrain
primarily makes components for GM cars and trucks. The division also
sells engines, transmissions, castings, and components to many other
automotive, marine, and industrial customers. In order to heat treat
components for GM suppliers, the heat treater must successfully pass
furnace performance tests as well as material testing. This achievement
demonstrates Paulo’s capability and commitment to meet the world
class requirements of GM’s Specifications. Paulo – St Louis joins Paulo –
Nashville as two of the select few heat treaters who have the GM
approval. “We are extremely pleased with this accomplishment. It
reflects the capability and quality of our equipment and our people. It
will benefit us as well as our customers.” says Bob Innes, St Louis Plant
Manager. Paulo plants in St Louis and Nashville feature vacuum heat
treating with 10-bar quench capability. Paulo provides heat treating,
brazing, and metal finishing. The St Louis, MO plant is a full-service
heat treat facility offering batch and continuous atmosphere heat
treating, vacuum, induction, press and plug quenching, hot flattening,

"New Hot Zone Design Reduces Power Loss By 50%. Souderton, PA.
12/12/11- The R&D team at Solar Atmospheres has developed a new hot
zone design concept to reduce vacuum furnace power losses (kw) by up
to 50%. Energy loss has long been a concern among vacuum furnace
engineers. However, solutions to this problem have been extremely slow
in coming to market. Solar's new hot zone design will be a rare and
notable advancement for the heat treating industry. This innovation was
based on thermal loss calculations paired with extensive laboratory
vacuum furnace testing. The improved hot zone will be more energyefficient in the same insulation dimensions and without compromising
vacuum performance. Although initial costs are somewhat higher,
payback with reduced energy costs is expected within the first year of
operation with significant savings to occur in the following years. To testdrive the design and make a direct comparison to current hot zones,
Solar Atmospheres is rebuilding a mid-size production vacuum furnace
hot zone in its corporate headquarters, Souderton, PA. Very careful
power measurements will be obtained with a Fluke Model 1735, true
RMS, power computer and with fixed hot zone thermocouples placed
within the new hot zone insulation system at soaking temperatures of
1600 F, 1800 F, 2000 F, 2200 F, 2400 F, 2600 F and 2800 F to prove out
the design. Testing will begin in early 2012 so results "proving out" this
design will be released in the near future. ABOUT SOLAR ATMOSPHERES;
Solar Atmospheres is the world's largest provider of commercial vacuum heat treating
services. Through unmatched technical expertise, equipment, and quality assurance, Solar's
thermal processing produces bright, scale-free parts with minimal distortion. For clients
requiring an "out-of-the ordinary" application, an in-house R&D team of metallurgists and
scientists develop innovative, custom process solutions. Serving over 18 markets, Solar's
state-of-the art services include brazing, carburizing and nitriding. With over 50 furnaces
ranging from lab sized to the world's largest commercial vacuum furnace, Solar can
efficiently handle any size job. Headquartered in Souderton, near Philadelphia, Solar also
operates plants in Hermitage, near Pittsburgh and in Fontana, California, near Los Angeles.

Odds & Ends. I thought we had recently concluded our list of "Rising Stars" in the industry
however we had some late suggestions which we will mention (but this is it, promise).
www.themonty.com
Solar Atmospheres/Hot Zone Power Loss. The press release below makes the claim
that with a new design of Vacuum Furnace Hot Zone developed by Solar that the higher
initial cost will more than pay for itself within the first year (if we understand correctly). A
very ambitious, interesting statement. December 20/2011
Cryogenics vs.; Heat Treating. From the Worcester Telegram comes this rather
interesting article about the Cryogenic Institute of New England Inc. The basis of the article
is that this company which offers cryogenics can be an alternative to heat treating.
December 19/2011
"When will this 'institute' decide what it wants to be? In an unassuming building on a
residential side street off Shrewsbury Street sits the new home of the Cryogenic Institute of
New England Inc. Founded in 2002, the institute recently moved into a blocky office building
at 78 Chilmark St. After years of renting, the company finally owns its space. Robin A.
Rhodes, the institute's president, said the company will likely hit $1 million in sales this
year. With 10 employees and a solid business plan, the company is looking to triple its sales
and double its workforce in the next three years, he said. I call it a
company with good reason. Behind its lofty title, the institute is actually
more of a service business than a research facility. It's a private, forprofit business. Despite being called an institute, it does not have
classes or symposiums. It does not do research for research's sake.
"We're not a university, we're not a nonprofit," explained Mr. Rhodes,
"but we do applied research for industry. If industry presents with a
problem, we look for solutions." The institute's solutions generally
involve freezing stuff to ridiculously low temperatures, such as some
high-end gun barrels the institute recently chilled in liquid helium to
nearly absolute zero, which is a cool minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit. The
institute got the gun barrels to minus 453 degrees. So why is it freezing
gun barrels? Mr. Rhodes said that the U.S. government's big guns that
hang off helicopters and Humvees have the annoying tendency to
become less accurate as they heat up from repeated firing. The
alignment shifts slightly when the barrels are hot. But if they are frozen,
then heated up, he said, those alterations in the gun barrel's metal are
minimized. As added bonuses, the gun barrels last longer and are easier
to clean, he said. The institute does similar work for an ambulance
company, Vital Emergency Services, and a limousine business, Knight's
Airport Limousine Service, both of Worcester. The institute freezes the
brake rotors for fleet vehicles at a cost of about $50 per rotor. The

"Thomas Streng", Managing Director HEESS GmbH & Co KG. HEESS based in Germany is
the world’s largest manufacturer of press quenching systems. "Tom Nash" of International
Search Partners was also nominated. ISP is a recruiting company which concentrates on the
heat treating industry and in his first year he will blow by ISP's Rookie Sales record for the
year. "Nova Analytical Systems" of Hamilton was acquired by Tenova. Nova gas analyzers
and portable dewpointers can be seen in a number of heat treating operations. "SKF"
(bearings) inaugurated its Global Technical Centre in India (GTCI), in Bangalore, India.
Plans have this centre having 400 engineers by 2015 up from their current headcount of
115. Plans also include adding heat treating equipment to the laboratory at this location.
"Textron" in Rockford, Illinois is getting ready to install a brand new Titan horizontal
vacuum furnace. And there you have it for December 19/2011
Where Are They Now? This past week we ran across two individuals that we had lost
touch with. Chris Paxos started and ran a commercial heat treating facility in Canton, Ohio
by the name of PPC. The company specialized in annealing work and for a period of time
went head to head with Atmosphere Annealing (as a matter of fact PPC was almost directly
across the street from one of the Atmosphere Annealing facilities). Things change and PPC
closed down about a year ago. As it turns out Chris is now President of Scidera, Inc., in
Canton, a firm involved in Biometrics which is quite a change from commercial heat
treating. Bob Antaya was Sales Manager at Dry Coolers in Oxford, Michigan a company that
offers water cooling systems for the heat treating industry. Bob parted
ways with the company some time back and has ended up as President of
Fluid Cooling Systems also in Michigan and no surprise they offer water
cooling systems. December 16/2011
Bodycote. Yesterday on the website the "London Evening Standard"
appeared the interesting opinion piece below. Rumors about a possible
takeover bid for Bodycote (one of the world's largest commercial heat
treaters and the only truly international one) have swirled for a number
of years and will undoubtedly continue. Makes for interesting if rather
speculative reading. December 15/2011
"Bodycote warmer as it is tipped to wrap up a takeover soon? Could the
New Year bring in a new owner for Bodycote? The temperature was being
raised around the heat-treating firm today as investors switched on to
talk that it was "ripe" for a takeover. In 2007, the engineer rebuffed a
number of approaches from Switzerland's Sulzer, yet last July Bodycote's
honcho Stephen Harris admitted he was open to offers if the price was
right. Panmure Gordon's Oliver Wynne-James believes we could find out
what he means by this sooner rather than later. Noting the group's share
price has lost over a third in less than five months, the analyst said that
now was the "time to go private". Wynne-James complained the market
was ignoring Bodycote's recent repositioning work and added Bodycote was a much more
attractive proposition than peer Charter, which is being bought for £1.5 billion by Colfax.
"The compounded returns for a new owner are sizeable," claimed a bullish Wynne-James,
who kept his buy advice as Bodycote climbed 2.5p to 258.6p."
www.themonty.com
rotors work better, Mr. Rhodes said, and last three times as long. The cost of freezing the
rotors pays for itself in lower maintenance costs. The institute is going through its own
transformative process, Mr. Rhodes said. It has expanded its array of services beyond
freezing stuff, to cleaning stuff with dry ice. How does it work? A company called Cold Jet in
Loveland, Ohio, makes machines that propel dry ice through a pressurized nozzle to clean
with the same effectiveness of power washing or sand blasting, but without the water or
sand. That might not sound like much of an accomplishment, except when you consider that
the dry ice just turns back into a puff of carbon dioxide upon contact with the hard surface
being cleaned. That means no mess. And if you own a company that does precision molding
or manufactures medical devices, cleaning your equipment with dry ice instead of water or
sand makes sense. The institute recently became the Northeast sales and service vendor for
Cold Jet. The institute has aggressively entered the cleaning business. It is a bit of a
mystery to me why this company is not growing faster than it is. Perhaps too many people
associate cryogenics with cryonics, that quackery of a nonscience that has people believing
their frozen heads can someday be reanimated. Or perhaps the idea that freezing metal can
provide as many benefits as heat treating hasn't taken hold. Or, perhaps, the institute,
which is really a service business, is still figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up."
Nakal/Russia. Nakal is a Russian company

seminar the company hosted and gives us a
fun part of the seminar-hunting and shooting
December 15/2011
that has made some very impressive claims
Bratcher of SSI recently attended a technical
report about both the seminar and the really
(both of which are dear to this editors heart).
In the summer, he goes outside for his target practice. In the winter he sets up in the lab.
He uses a Kevlar blanket to stop the arrows. Marc Ruetsch and I were given the opportunity
to take aim on the fox that resides in the lab as well as the swinging target. You can see the
results of our shooting. Not bad for beginners! Vladimir was kind enough to show Svetlana
Petrova and Irina Shumova how to shoot, and, in the end, we had some homemade drinks
based upon…Vodka. It was a great conference attending by more than 20 companies from
all over Russia. It is an honor for Super Systems and AFC-Holcroft to participate in the
annual NAKAL technical seminar and, to be trained, by the great Vladimir!"

"NAKAL has a technical seminar every December for their customers. The focus this year
was controls and automation. Super Systems presented two papers and AFC-Holcroft
presented one. The other papers were presented by members of the NAKAL team including
Nikolay Ityaksov (President and Owner), Evgeny Ilichev (Sales Director) and the man who
many customers came to see, Vladimir Syropyatov. Vladimir Syropyatov runs the ‘lab’ at
Nakal. He researches new processes, new materials, new methodology and a host of other
technical topics for the benefit of NAKAL and their customers. Since he is in the ‘lab’ for long
hour watching what can be a slow and unchanging process, he has found a unique way to
pass the time.

NTN Bower Fire. From the McDonough County Voice we have this news item about a small
fire at captive heat treater and bearing manufacturer NTN Bower in Macomb, Ill, USA.
December 14/2011
"Macomb, Ill. — An early Monday morning fire at the NTN Bower roller bearing plant on
Bower Road destroyed switchgear electrical equipment and temporarily halted production on
the plant’s heat treat line. The Macomb Fire Department responded to an area in the center
of the plant just before midnight and was on scene for two hours.According to Jim Riggs,
vice-president of manufacturing for NTN Bower, the fire, which occurred during the plant’s
third shift, started when 45-year-old switchgear equipment “just failed and kind of melted.”
Riggs said the switchgear equipment was due to be replaced soon and was installed at the
time the Macomb NTN Bower plant was built. As of Monday evening, there was no estimate
on the damage. About 200 Bower employees were on duty at the time of the fire, but no
injuries were reported. Riggs said production on the heat treat line is expected to resume
Tuesday."
Piñata's in Front of the Furnaces? Carlos Torres of commercial heat treater CRIO in
Queratero, Mexico sent us this Christmas item about a Christmas party in front of the Batch
IQ furnaces which is a very interesting touch. December 14/2011
"Amigo I wanted to share this with you, every year on Xmas season we have something in
Mexico called “posada” it is a religious celebration to welcome Xmas, we have a mass
ceremony, then dinner together and the kids have a piñata which I have found foreigners
find interesting - I do not why, maybe because I am so used to those since I was a kid,
there a some cool photos of kids breaking the piñata in front of a UBQ and playing around.
It is worth to mention that all furnaces were down for some hours and safety was essential

Odds & Ends. Commercial heat treater Chicago Induction Metal Treating Corporation of
Chicago, IL will be closing for business December 16/2011. Chicago Induction is a family
owned business which has been around for a number of years and which as you would
guess specialized in Induction Hardening. CRIO a commercial heat treater located in
Queretaro, Mexico has just received their new Certificate under standards ISO 9001-2008
and AS9100 "C". This makes CRIO the first Commercial Heat Treatment facility certified
under AS9100 "C" in the State of Queretaro and probably in the country. I can't say I am
surprised, as you can see in the photo below it is a very clean, well organized operation.
Hercules Heat Treating Corp., in Brooklyn, NY, won an $88257.72 federal contract from the
US Naval Air Systems Command, Lakehurst, NJ, for heat treating services. Hercules is a
family owned and run commercial heat treater who is one of the few in North America
capable of and certified to heat treat aerospace landing gear (photo below). United Gear &
Assembly, Inc., in Hudson, WI is finding business to be so good that they are hiring more
workers for all departments in the plant including heat treating. United Gear makes gears
that go into oil pumps, water pumps, all the way up to transmissions that go into Allison
transmissions and Caterpillar transmissions for the heavy, off-road mining equipment. Their
captive heat treat department was mentioned recently on this website when they went with
UPC to update their furnace controls. Recently we had an excellent list of all of the worlds
new furnace builder which was put together by Janusz Kowalewski of AFC-Holcroft (scroll
down for a link to this list). I was very impressed but human nature being what it is a few
readers mentioned to us about companies that were not listed. Several suggestions included
KGO of Germany, Sarlin in Sweden, Rhode in Germany and WMU also in Germany.

Rising Stars. Recently we embarked upon a quest to find out from our readers who they
would consider the "Rising Stars" of the industry-those who will one day be taking over from
the older generation. We had a substantial number of suggestions all interesting, some of
these individuals we know, others we have not run across before but in all cases we
congratulate them. Our basic criteria were individuals relatively young, that are making a
difference and received several votes. We have to confess that several would not have
occurred to us and caught us by surprise but not up to us. Below are suggestions we
received and we will emphasize that they are in no particular order and have nothing to do
with the votes received. December 12/2011
Metcor Inc./St. Eustache, Quebec, Canada. Metcor, the largest commercial heat treater
in the province of Quebec is making some major investments as you can see below.
Interesting that the company purchased an Ipsen "Titan" vacuum furnace, this is the third
company we have spoken to in the last two weeks that has purchased a "Titan". December
9/2011
"We are pleased to inform the heat treating market and customers of the recent investment
done at Metcor Inc. in St Eustache Québec, to improve and give the best service to the
Aerospace and Commercial Industry. Metcor Inc. did acquire a new computerize tensile
testing machine to qualify our heat treatment processes and certify high strength steel
components. We are now in qualification for a new Titan Ipsen Vacuum Furnace that got
installed in November 2011, this action will increase considerably the heat treatment
capacity in our vacuum furnace department. In the Aluminum heat treat department Metcor
Inc. just did the purchasing of a new small – medium size bottom quenching air circulating
furnace. This equipment will also be able to perform solution annealing water and waterpolymer quenching and age hardening of aluminum alloys. By these major investments
Metcor Inc. will be positioned as one of the most important leader in Eastern Canada and
USA, performing state of the art heat treatment for the Aerospace and Commercial market.

Comments We Get Lots Of. We constantly get comments, some good,
some bad. Below we have two typical comments, one having to do with
our poll about "Rising Stars" in the industry, the second from Lindberg

"Gord, I recently read your publication highlighting the world’s furnace builders. I was sorry
to see that Lindberg was excluded from the list. I’m curious what Mr. Kowalewski meant by
companies classified “in pre-established order.” Going into our 100th year anniversary in
2012; Lindberg is still a very present force in the heat treating industry. While I agree with
Mr. K’s note of overuse of certain terms; we are proud to highlight that Lindberg is wrapping
up our best sales year in 2011 for the past 10 years. Business is very strong and 2012 looks
to be as strong as 2011. Merry Christmas, Tim Josephs , Sales Manager-Heat Treat ,

Nadcap Symposia in Asia. "For the first time in October/November 2011, PRI, the notfor-profit organization that administers the Nadcap program, held a series of symposia in
Asia. The aim of these events was to provide information on Nadcap, including how the
audit and accreditation process works, common non-conformances as well as to host
technical sessions focused on special processes. Two symposia have been held to date, one
taking place in Aichi, Japan and the other in Shanghai, China. Supported by the JAQG in
Japan and COMAC in China, PRI Staff Engineers discussed Nadcap accreditation in chemical
processing, NDT, composites and heat treating followed by question and answer sessions.
Topics covered included an introduction to the Task Group, how to prepare for a Nadcap
audit, what to expect during the Nadcap audit and a review of the relevant audit checklists.
The symposia proved popular with delegates travelling from China and Japan to participate.
In total, there were over 160 attendees in Aichi, and approximately 180 at the event in
Shanghai." December 7/2011

Codere/HTU AG. In the press release below Swiss new furnace builder Codere tells us
about an installation they have at commercial heat treater HTU AG in the Konstanz region of
Germany. December 5/2011
"HTU AF is a specialist in contract heat treatment, possessed various old fashioned
installations that neither met their requirements or the current standards expected in the
heat treatment market. HTU AG’s goal was to acquire a modern high-performance product
that would meet the highest standards in their industry. As the volume of parts to be
treated is relatively low, but very varied, the ideal product must be versatile and very
flexible. This was important in both the variety of requested applications and the regular
changes or variations in the treated priorities. HTU AG was looking for the alternative that
would allow cooling of the loads in salt quench tanks to obtain martensite or bainite
structures. This coupled with the possibility to vary various parameters with the aim of
reducing or even eliminating deformations/ distortions. HTU AG intended to reduce or even
eliminate residual austenite, the ideal product should be able to cool loads at -120°C. A
follow-up of past production results including history of events and treatment protocol for
each treated batch are stored. This can be viewed at anytime (user friendly). The
installation must work in continuous, constant and consistent flow and a storage capacity of

Is Heat Treating for Old Guys? Deservedly or undeservedly the heat treating industry
has a reputation for being a staid, mature industry filled with older males. I find it hard to
argue with this, unfortunately to some extent this is true and I am a good example
(although middle aged would be more appropriate). We are not involved with a glamour
industry that individuals will in most cases consider at a young age-rather most of us got
into it by accident. At the recent ASM show in Cincinnati it was pointed out to me by a friend
that there are some very bright, young individuals entering the industry and that they
deserve recognition as being the "rising stars" in this business. I know in the past that we
have had columns about the most influential people in the industry so it is high time that we
looked at the "rising stars" who deserve some recognition. So today we are looking for
suggestions, names of people relatively new to the industry that take it seriously and are
enjoying what they do. Feel free to send us your suggestions at [email protected] To
start things off some names that immediately come to mind are; James Cross (SSI, UK),
David Rascke (Atmosphere Engineering) and Carlos Torres (Mattsa Crio, Mexico). So send
us your suggestions and we will see what we come up with. Also upcoming is our annual list
of the largest commercial heat treaters in North America. December 2/2011

Rising Stars in the Industry. A recent conversation with a friend about how heat treating
is peopled with so many older fellows lead to the suggestion that we have a look at who are
some of the rising stars in the industry-those who through hard work are making a
difference. To date we have had a number of excellent suggestions as you can see below.
Our plan is to listen to your suggestions and at the end of this week put together a list of
those individuals whom you have suggested. To date our list includes Josh Longenette
