It is hard to believe that this is the final issue of “The Monty” for 2013 which gave us cause
to reflect on the past 15 years-yes it was 1999 that our first issue was faxed to a grand total
of 83 companies in the heat treating industry. If I recall correctly that issue was a total of 2
pages long and the chief news item was about a heat treater in Canada who had suffered a
minor stroke and what a blockbuster story that was! The journey since then has been a
tremendous amount of fun and has given us the opportunity to meet heat treaters from
around the world-an opportunity for which I give thanks. We at “The Monty” have no doubt
but that the industry is filled with some of the most interesting and honest people in the
world and the end of the day we can say that while this is a hot, dirty business we would
have it no other way.

Hartownia Bialystok/Bialystok, Poland. As part of our Monday Morning Briefing earlier
this week we included this rumor; “We are going to start with Europe today where we ran
across a very interesting rumor at the recent Wiesbaden, Germany heat treat show, a rumor
which we have heard repeated several times since then. Rumor has it that the EU is
subsidizing an investment of approximately 15 million Euro to build a brand new heat
treating facility somewhere in Europe. This story goes on to say that one furnace
European furnace builder was single sourced for this order which includes approximately 15
furnaces and ancillary equipment. We believe there is some substance to this rumor and we
will keep you updated”. As a result of this posting several readers elaborated upon the story
so at this point this is what we have been told. This is apparently a brand new
commercial/captive operation by the name of Hartownia Bialystok which will be up and
running in the spring of 2014 with up to 120 employees. The order for the equipment was
awarded several months ago to a major European furnace manufacturer and this will include
a number of different styles of furnaces including nitriding and vacuum furnaces which
amounts to a multi-million dollar order. If all of this is true this would be one of the largest
new furnace orders in Europe in 2013. As a footnote to this story we have been lead to
believe that like many large furnace projects this order was not without a certain amount of
controversy due to the fact that the unsuccessful bidders feel (rightly or wrongly) that the
buyers mind was largely made up before the actual bidding process. We can’t say whether
this is true or not but having been involved in a number of large furnace projects it is quite
possible. We do know that tensions are running high over the bidding process and we would
not be surprised to hear more about this story. November 28/2013

16th International Exhibition on Heat Treatment, Beijing. The last time we were at
this show was a few years back and at the time it was a relatively small show. However
over the years it has grown and we understand that the most recent one was fairly well
attended with a number of both domestic and foreign exhibitors most of whom felt the show
was worthwhile. To give you a taste we have these photos. November 27/2013
"Heat treatment is a combination of operations involving the heating,
holding and cooling of metal in the solid state for the purpose of
obtaining certain desirable metallurgical properties or surface
modification. Heat treatment consumes 17% of US Industrial Energy
usage and consists of 2 to 15% of the total production cost. (Source:
IHEA). The global heat treatment volume is in the range of $65 to $75
billion. This volume range doesn't included induction and primary iron
and steel heat treatment. The global heat treatment volume estimate
is gathered from local heat treatment association’s statistics and
correlated with countries’ car production and countries GDP. The
common belief is that North America is a $20 Billion industry with 15
million vehicles manufactured in the US in 2012 and $15 trillion GDP.
China manufactures 19.5 million vehicles, has more than half of the
US’s GDP ($8.3 trillion), and its manufacturing sector generates the equivalent of 30% of its
GDP (compared to the US where the manufacturing sector makes up around 12% of its
GDP). The China heat treatment market volume should be approx. $11 billion or more. The
European Union manufactures 12 million vehicles and has the same combined GDP as the
US – its heat treatment volume, cannot be much lower than the US". Continued

Monday Morning Briefing. We are going to start with Europe today where we ran across a
very interesting rumor at the recent Wiesbaden, Germany heat treat show, a rumor which
we have heard repeated several times since then. Rumor has it that the EU is subsidizing an
investment of approximately 15 million Euro to build a brand new heat
treating facility somewhere in Europe. This story goes on to say that
one furnace European furnace builder was single sourced for this order
which includes approximately 15 furnaces and ancillary equipment. We
believe there is some substance to this rumor and we will keep you
updated. Staying in Europe for the time being we see that Ipsen has
landed a pusher furnace order from Mercedes Benz. "Ipsen Breaks New
Ground in Heat Treating; Mercedes Benz recently ordered a custom
designed Ipsen pusher furnace for heat treating gear parts. The enormously powerful
installation takes up a comparatively small space but performs extraordinarily well – all with
very low energy consumption. The three-track furnace works with two gas-tight doors to
inhibit oxygen flow into the furnace and thus guarantees a highly pure atmosphere. To
assure the highest degree of flexibility the installation is able to quench parts in its oil bath
while also having the capability to quench them in a hardening press. Ipsen applied the
new, patented Ecofire-Preheat process, during which waste endogas is used as burning gas
in the pre-heating furnace, as well as a new insulation technology which reduces the heat
loss by approximately 30 percent in comparison to conventional designs".

From the US we received this press release from a furnace builder that we know little aboutANT Furnaces in which they announce a new order. "ANT Furnaces [All New Technologies
LLC] announces it has received an order from a leading Los Angeles, CA, aerospace
manufacturer for the supply of a high temperature, high vacuum and atmosphere furnace.
The end use is development of satellite and deep space propulsion systems. The furnace is
customized to meet the demanding specifications of this high performance materials
project. The tantalum metal hot zone includes exclusive design features for increased
uniformity, supported by a nickel-plated water-cooled copper coldwall and surrounded by an
SS 304L high vacuum chamber for use with a high vacuum turbomolecular system. Gas
delivery includes mass flow controls and residual gas analysis of the process environment.

While we are at it we will throw in two more Ipsen news items. The first concerns Ipsen,
Shanghai, China where we understand the company has 5 two row pushers sitting on the
floor ready for shipping by January, 2015. We have heard these are all for repeat
customers. The second item is in the form of a press release from the company where they
tell us about recent orders. "Over the last couple months, Ipsen has shipped furnaces to
customers in the U.S. and seven additional countries: Russia, India, Brazil, Germany,
Russia, Singapore and China. These shipments representative of Ipsen’s
diverse product portfolio, included TurboTreater®, TITAN® DS, TITAN
Temper and several sizes of TITAN vacuum furnace units, three of which
were 12-bar. Shipments also included a custom top loading furnace, a
VFS® HEQ and an Ivadizer® - Aluminum Deposition furnace. The
furnaces were shipped to companies in the Aerospace, Automotive,

ultra-high temperature and vacuum furnaces for accelerated lifetime testing of materials
now located in the farthest positions obtained by earth vehicles, and characterization
furnaces for ultralight armor materials used to protect satellites against micro-meteors and
their even more destructive vapor trails". Also in the US we see that Lucifer Furnaces has
landed an order from a company by the name of VOSS Manufacturing. "Voss
Manufacturing, a manufacturer of heat-transfer tooling and equipment, expanded its
facilities with the addition of an atmosphere furnace supplied by Lucifer Furnaces. Voss
Manufacturing decided to increase capacity and throughput by adding a furnace for larger
batches. The Sanborn, N.Y.-based company also wanted to eliminate costly and timeconsuming stainless steel wrapping of parts with a furnace operating with a nitrogen
atmosphere". And to round things out we have a “happy story”. The picture below shows

Ben Crawford Interview. We are very pleased to be able to offer an interview with one of
the better known individuals in the North American heat treating industry (and a heck of a
nice guy), Mr. Ben Crawford. November 22/2013
1. Ben you and I go back quite a while and as far as I know your entire working
life has been in the heat treating industry. Could you give us some background
about how you got started and what positions you have held over the years?
"Good morning Gord, you’re correct, we have shared drinks globally! I started my career
out of college working for Harbor Metal Treating in 1993 as a Lab Technician. My role
expanded quickly to Office Manager, Quality Manager and at the age of twenty-five I was
named Plant Manager. Following that experience I left thermal processing for
approximately six years and worked in the investment casting industry. During that time I
worked as Plant Manager for Independent Steel Castings Company (New Buffalo, MI) and
National Sales and Marketing Manager for Vermont American (Auburn, AL). In 2002, I
returned to thermal processing working for Bodycote-Indianapolis managing the heat treat
and NDT operations. Soon I was promoted to Senior General Manager overseeing the
Indianapolis and Cincinnati facilities. By the end I was Regional Manager-Midwest managing
thirteen facilities. In early 2008, I was recruited and hired as Division President-Midwest by
the private equity firm GSO Capital Partners which was acquired by Blackstone. Bluewater
had twenty facilities in 2008. By the end of 2009 we closed the plating facility in Chicago
and consolidated operations in Canada as well as the Coldwater/Fairfield brazing
operations. In 2009, I was named Chief Operating Officer by the board of directors."

2. You mention the two largest commercial heat treaters in North America,
Bodycote and Bluewater. Bodycote is of course publicly traded whereas Bluewater
is owned by a private equity firm. Does this lead to a different management style
in the two companies?
3. I realize Ben that you are a heat treater not a financial advisor but to what do
you attribute the rising share price of Bodycote? It has doubled in the past couple
of years and while this has slowed down recently it has reached levels I never
expected to see.
"Execution of strategic initiatives to achieve their global plan while improving YoY has led to
strong results the past few years. The company is globally diversified by location and end
markets that help mitigate risk. Bodycote has continued to make acquisitions that support
their strategic plan. They have made investments in coating technologies as well and have
developed partnerships with global companies such as General Motors, Rolls Royce and
many more. The attraction to investors is that the thermal processing industry has a high
variable cost component such as utilities and labor. Most facilities do not produce inventory
and the ability to change invoice to cash generation tends to be short compared to
traditional manufacturing. Based on interim statements, I gather that the executive team of
Bodycote has excelled in utilizing company assets matched with strong cost control
delivering overall improved performance thus the continued rise of the share price over the
years. This is currently in conjunction with many end markets lagging in sales. Essentially
the company has executed, delivered or exceeded investor expectations." Continued
Ben Crawford, Wagner Ribas (Maxitrate, Brazil)
www.themonty.com
"Having the opportunity to work for both Bluewater and Bodycote has been a tremendous
experience that provided me valuable skills, business tools, analytics, training, education
and wonderful friendships. Both companies have the drive to consistently improve YoY. This
occurs whether you are working in private or public sectors. Whether it is share price or a
private investment fund the demand for value creation is real in either company. Return is
created by improving shareholder value while having intense focus on safety, continuous
improvement activities and the development of customer partnerships. Tremendous
attention is given to benchmarking with heightened visibility on key metrics that drive the
overall business. The financial metrics maybe slightly different for the given sector but key
metric indicators are generally the same."

Solar Atmospheres/South Eastern US Expansion. It is rather ironic that just yesterday
we had a press release about how manufacturers and consequently heat treaters (both
captive and commercial) are flocking to the US Southeast. This press release emphasizes
the fact that this is the new land of opportunity at least in North America. November

"Bodycote is issuing its Interim Management Statement covering the period from 1 July to
18 November 2013. The financial and operational data set out below relates to the four
months from 1 July to 31 October 2013 (the “period”) unless otherwise stated. All
comparative comments in this statement reflect comparisons with the corresponding period
in 2012. Full year results for 2013 will be issued on 27 February 2014. Current trading;
Reported revenue growth for the period was 6.9% (3.6% at constant exchange rates, with
an organic decline of 1.3% and with acquisitions adding 4.9%). Sales in the Aerospace,
Defence and Energy (ADE) business were lower by 0.2% (2.6% lower at constant exchange
rates), all of which was organic. At constant exchange rates, sales in Western Europe
declined by 1.4% and in North America by 4.0%. Commercial aerospace revenues have
grown, as expected, in both North America and Europe, and industrial gas turbine sales
have further increased in all territories. There has been continued lower demand from the
Oil & Gas sector, particularly for onshore requirements in the USA and reduced revenues in
the defence sector which together have more than offset gains elsewhere. Revenues in the
Automotive and General Industrial (AGI) business were higher by 12.9% (8.9% at constant
exchange rates). Acquisitions added 9.1% and organic sales were lower by 0.2%. In
Western Europe, sales at constant exchange rates were ahead by 0.9%, all of which was
organic. North American organic revenues declined 6.8% at constant exchange rates, while
the acquisitions completed in 2012 added 48.0%. Car & light truck revenues have grown
well in both North America and Europe and at a higher rate than in the first half. Heavy
truck sales have turned positive in Europe but remain very weak in North America. In
contrast, General industrial demand has also remained weak, especially in the mining and
construction equipment sectors in North America. Emerging market sales grew modestly".
Where Are They Now? Alfred Hutwagner. We lost touch with long time commercial heat
treater Al Hutwagner a couple of years back when he parted ways with Bluewater Thermal.
However as very few people ever leave the industry it was no surprise that we just learned
he is working with commercial heat treater Aremac Heat Treating. Nice guy Al and we were
glad to renew his acquaintance. Digging through our notes about Aremac we came across
this press release from April of this year. November 19/2013

"April 2013. Aremac Heat Treating, LLC. Manufacturer and commercial heat treater Aremac
based in City of Industry, CA has announced a large project in Eastman, GA for which all the
details can be found below. Two thoughts struck us about this press release. The first being
that industry in the southeastern USA continues to grow largely at the expense of other
regions of the US. The second is that the number of jobs vs the capital expenditure is out of
whack. A $2 million USD investment does not equate to 60 jobs, so our conclusion would
have to be that there will be further investment down the road which will justify more
hiring.
Solar Atmospheres Press Release. "Solar Atmospheres of Western PA president, Robert
Hill, was presented the high honor of ASM Fellow (FASM) in the field of materials at the
October 29th ASM’s 100th Anniversary Annual Awards Dinner in Montreal, Canada. Industry
professionals and technical leaders alike recognized Mr. Hill’s achievements for “expanding
the applications and technical knowledge of vacuum heat treating titanium for the future of
lightweight and energy efficient commercial and military airframes.” Mr. Hill is a 33-year
member of ASM International and in 2000 served as the Chairman of the Philadelphia
Liberty Bell Chapter. Most recently, Mr. Hill served on the ASM Board of Trustees from
2009-2012. Additionally, Bob served on the ASM Technical Programming Committee for five
years culminating as the co-chairman of the Heat Treating Society Conference Programming
committee where he coordinated over 100 technical presentations for the Heat Treating
Society’s Conference and Exposition, aka The Heat Treat Show. Bob’s knowledge of the
highly technical titanium thermal processing marketplace is demonstrated by his receiving
the prestigious Titanium Achievement Award from the International Titanium Association in
2009. At that time, it was well documented by Boeing engineers that the Boeing 787
program was in great peril due to the Ti 555-3 heat treating dilemma. Mr. Hill, his team and
their equipment were largely responsible for getting the program back on track, trimming
the aircrafts weight and avoiding any weight or heat treat related cancellations.
Mr. Hill is currently serving a one-year term as President of the Metal Treating Institute
(MTI), an organization boasting the largest network of commercial heat treat companies in
the world with well over 350 member companies. ASM International established the honor
of Fellow of ASM (FASM) in 1969 to provide recognition to ASM members for their
distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering. Bob Hill notes, “I’m most
honored to be inducted into ASM’s Hall of Fellows. It is a high privilege and I look forward to
continuing the work of moving the industry forward with the help of ASM – the leading
society for metals and materials scientists and engineers.” November 19/2013

It is virtually impossible in our Monday Morning Briefing to not mention the largest
commercial heat treater in the world Bodycote. Today they are mentioned as they continue
to be in the hunt for coatings company Metco. If successful this would be a very important
acquisition for the company. "Swiss industrial machinery maker Sulzer has attracted strong
interest for its Metco coatings unit and the sale is well on track, the company's chief
executive said on Friday. Sulzer hopes it could get about 800 million Swiss francs ($871
million) from the sale of Metco, the world's largest producer of thermal spray coatings,
catering to the car, chemicals and energy industries. "We got high interest and we are well
on track," Chief Executive Klaus Stahlmann told an investor conference in Zurich. The
company hopes a deal will be signed in the first quarter of 2014. Sulzer is selling the unit to
concentrate on more lucrative businesses making pumps and equipment and providing
services for the oil and gas industry. Rival coatings companies, the Swiss group
Oerlikon and Britain's Bodycote and two private equity firms, including EQT, have made it
through to the second round of an auction process to be held on January 8, sources familiar
with the matter have said". We realize that many commercial heat treaters are scared to
death of Automotive Heat Treating due to the cyclical nature of the business and the
notoriously small margins but some companies might want to reconsider this. It is expected
that in 2014 North American auto production will hit 17 million units and that in 2015 the
industry will set a record at 17.6 million. With heat treating capacity already pushing the
limits we would expect that for at least the next two years heat treaters servicing the auto
industry should be doing quite well thank you. To back this up we see that automotive parts
supplier and captive heat treater Borg Warner Inc., reported a 65% rise in quarterly profit
with net income rising to $166.8 million in the third quarter ended September 30 compared
with the same period in 2012. This is in spite of the fact that the company closed an
operation in Cortland, NY earlier this year that had several sintering furnaces.

Monday Morning Briefing. We will start off by mentioning a brand new equipment
addition which was just added to this website-an ALD Single Chamber Vacuum
Carburizing Furnace. The only reason this makes our “Monday Morning Briefing” is
because it is very unusual to run across a fairly new vacuum carburizing unit on the used
market. From ALD we move on to Portland Oregon to have a look at one of the largest
commercial heat treaters on the west coast, Stack Metallurgical where we see that the
company has been adding a great deal of new capacity. Stack recently ordered a new
Surface Combustion gas fired batch IQ line with working dimensions of 36” X 72” X 36”, a
Solar Manufacturing vacuum furnace Model HFL 5748-21 Q, two large temper furnaces
from McLaughlin Services and a 12 bar Ipsen vacuum furnace. If you ever get the
chance (and assuming Stack will allow it) this is a commercial operation that is well worth
seeing. Bloom Engineering Company Inc., in Pittsburgh, PA which offers combustion
systems has a new President Mr. David Boyce. Dixie Heat Treating Company in
Florence, Alabama recently closed their doors. This was a relatively small operation offering
batch IQ and pit processing.
And to close things out for today and keeping with the item about Jeff Uhlenburg achieving
the MTI Merit award we have this press release about Bob Hill who will be the new
President of MTI for 2014. "Hermitage, PA. November 13, 2013 – Solar Atmospheres of
Western PA president, Robert Hill, was recently elected president of the Metal Treating
Institute, Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Mr. Hill becomes the Institute’s70th president. Mr. Hill
has served on the Institute’s Board of Governors since 2008. He was instrumental in
establishing the organization’s Technical Standards Committee in 2011 and has served on a
variety of different committees including the Programming Committee, the Executive
Committee, a Benchmarking Committee, and the Strategic Planning Committee. In 2011,
Mr. Hill was honored to receive the President’s Award, an award given by the then serving
president as the one person in the organization that had contributed most to the
furtherance of the Institute. In 2012, Mr. Hill’s company, Solar Atmospheres of Western PA,
won the Commercial Heat Treater of the Year Award from Industrial Heating magazine and
the MTI. Solar Atmospheres of Western PA has been a member of MTI since 2001. Mr. Hill
indicated that he was “very happy to serve the MTI in this capacity. I look forward to the
challenges ahead and embrace the opportunity to build MTI to be an even more allencompassing organization for commercial and contract heat treaters around the globe.”

A trend that we have seen develop over the past few years is vacuum heat treaters and
vacuum furnace manufacturers buying their Molybdenum From China. While there was
some initial reluctance due to fears about delivery and quality these fears seem to have
been alleviated and more and more users are willing to consider buying
from Chinese sources. Moving to Brazil we see that our friend Claudio
Brum of furnace manufacturer and commercial heat treater Combustol
in Sao Paulo, Brazil has changed direction slightly. Since the beginning
of September he is now the Technical and Commercial Manager of the
Combustol Commercial Heat Treating division. This is after working for
40 years working in the equipment area (33 years for Combustol). At its
recent Fall Meeting, the Metal Treating Institute (MTI), the world’s
largest network of heat treaters in the world, recognized Jeff
Uhlenburg, from Donovan Heat Treating in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, with the Award of Industry Merit. "This award is given to
the MTI member in recognition of their current and on-going
commitment to the betterment of the commercial heat treating industry
with one of more notable accomplishments. MTI President, Jim Roberts
stated during the award ceremony, “It goes with out saying, Jeff gives it
his all everyday. He is from a great line of heat treaters in his family,
being the fifth generation. He has served the industry with all his heart
being active on the local and national level. Throughout his career, Jeff
has been involved in numerous industry issues in manufacturing
testifying to Congress on many occasions through the National
Association of Manufacturers on healthcare, labor and energy. Jeff is
epitomizes the type of business owner who looks past his business to
see how he can help the industry be better for everyone.”
Ipsen Press Release. "PECATONICA, IL – Which of Ipsen’s special formulas do you prefer
– the refractory body of Alumina that can withstand exceptionally high temperatures and
reduces cracking during thermal cycling or the flexible, clay-bonded body of Fused Silica
which provides more thermal shock resistance? Ipsen engineers developed both formulas
over several years to be long-lasting, handcrafted and durable. Both can be cast into a
variety of shapes. And both come with great initial lead times and Ipsen’s committed and
responsive service.
“Who will you choose?” was the question posed by Ipsen Ceramics in the months leading up
to the Investment Casting Institute’s 60th Anniversary Conference and Expo Oct. 7-8, in
Pittsburgh, PA. Visitors, both at the Expo and online, were encouraged to vote for whichever
special formula they use in their custom firing processes. Voters for Alumina were large and
in charge, easily outnumbering those preferring to use Fused Silica for making their ceramic
parts. One lucky voter won an iPad! The prize went to Daniel Shelton, senior foundry
process manager at Consolidated Precision Products in City of Industry, CA. To see just how
tough the competition got between Alumina and Silica, check out Alumina’s not-so-modest
acceptance speech and the events leading up to it at http://bit.ly/IpsenCeramicsICI2013.

Marc Walters/Bodycote. Experienced heat treater and proven manager Mr. Marc Walters
joined commercial heat treater Bodycote in April 2012 as manager of the Metal
Improvement plants in Columbus OH and Ft. Wayne IN (Metal Improvement was of course
acquired by Bodycote). Shortly thereafter Marc was given responsibility for two more
plants, the existing Indianapolis IN plant and the newly acquired (Bluewater) Greensburg IN
plant. Bodycote must think highly of his capabilities as he recently was given the task of
overseeing the former Bluewater sites in the Southeast, Fountain Inn SC, Reidsville NC,
Morristown TN, Conyers GA, and Athens, AL. Mark has relocated from Columbus to the
Atlanta area, near the Conyers plant. Scott Calardo, VP of Strategic Projects, had been in
charge of the plants in the Southeast since acquisition and has been overseeing their
acquisition although the plan all along was to appoint a Regional Manager for the southeast
who would transition under Scott. Scott by the way must be a busy fellow as he also has
integration responsibility for the 3 former Specialty HT plants and is involved with
Bodycote’s expansion in China. We congratulate Marc Walters on his new responsibilities.

Is There a Helium Shortage? The vast bulk of heat treaters will never in their working
lives have the need for helium however it is not uncommon amongst vacuum heat treaters
entirely because of it's quenching properties. Helium is a preferred furnace quenching
atmosphere because it is is four times better than argon, with helium thermal conductivity
10 times better. As helium is truly a nonrenewable gas that is difficult to mine due to its
light molecular structure the issue came up several years ago that there was a shortage, a
shortage that would only become worse. Subsequent to this it appeared that efforts were
being made to increase the supply and this was the basis of an article
which recently appeared in an industry magazine, an article written by a
Mr. Barry Ashby. However according to the comments below there is a
very real and definite shortage of helium and if these comments are
correct the issue will only get worse. November 12/2013
"Barry, If you want to know the facts about industrial grade helium, CP
grade, I suggest you contact the major gas suppliers like Air Products for
the facts. Our plants collectively have been placed on restricted
allocations for over a year. We have a coming government defense
project where we will have to obtain a DOE rating in order to get the
helium to perform the contract. Several years ago we could buy helium in
quantity at about $8 per hundred CF. today the price is over $30 if you
can get it at all. The price for a helium birthday balloon today is about
$10. The price will soon be $30 if available at all. One of the problems is
the use of helium for the MRI machine where for public health they have
priority. This demand ever growing worldwide is driving up demand
exponentially for an ever shrinking commodity. Helium is only available
from very selected natural gas wells and is not a manufactured
commodity like nitrogen, hydrogen, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc. This is
a very sensitive subject to industry and the public needs to know the real
facts. William R. Jones, CEO, FASM Solar Atmospheres Inc. Bill Jones,
Solar Atmospheres.
Barry, I read with interest your article titled “Up, Up and Away -- Helium Issues” in the
October issue of "Industrial Heating" magazine. Barry, I could not disagree with you more.
There truly IS a worldwide shortage of Helium! Putting politics aside for a moment, you

purification systems, and industrial refrigeration systems. The detector will allow for
determining the amount of this gas in the atmosphere to ensure safe levels in the
environment. Without their own detector, the Fire Department, in the remote possibility that
ammonia needs to be measured in any location in Wyndmoor needs to rely on the
Montgomery County Hazardous Materials response team to visit the site and use their own
detector. The detector is accurate enough to measure ammonia in parts per million, and is
sensitive enough to measure extremely low levels of the gas".

need to realize: 1. Helium is truly a nonrenewable gas that is difficult to mine due to its light
molecular structure. 2. The BLM in Texas that you refer to is a finite storage facility only.
The Helium gas never gets replenished. It has been projected that by the year 2016 the last
molecules of Helium will be exhausted. 3. This BLM facility currently supplies 40% of the
world’s Helium. 4. The Helium sold from the BLM is artificially priced by our US government.
(In a true supply and demand situation, a child’s party balloon would cost $100+!) 5.
Helium is a byproduct of natural gas DEEP well drilling! Our current abundance of cheap
natural gas domestically is coming from relatively SHALLOW wells. Therefore, the deep hole
Middle East natural gas wells capable of producing helium have ceased operations. They
cannot compete with our domestic shallow well natural gas pricing. 6. The plant in Wyoming
that you referred to has never opened their doors and has been beleaguered with delays.
Barry, the Helium shortage is much more than a political football. It is much bigger than
that. At Solar Atmospheres we would typically and gladly spend $500K per year for helium.
This specialty gas enables us to meet certain metallurgical properties in quenching and gain
production efficiencies that no other gas can safely provide. Of course, our preferred gas
supplier would love to keep this revenue stream going, instead they curtailed our helium
supply by 50%. This curtailment has provided us the opportunity to openly search the
market via other gas providers. Some providers have reduced helium molecules to share
with current customers only, others have none at all. Therefore, my business plan going
forward is to eventually eliminate helium usage all together. Barry, we actually DO need to
get “our knickers in a knot.” Sincerely, Bob Hill President, Solar Atmospheres of Western
Pennsylvania."

their new Metal Injection Molding Operation. Dynacast is a global manufacturer
headquartered in Charlotte, NC. In February 2013 they announced they would be adding
Metal Injection Molding to their service offering. The addition of MIM as a manufacturing
process means that it will expand its ability to produce small, complex components using a
wider variety of metals, strengthening its commitment to higher quality, precision
engineered components for its customers. CVI has over 30 years of successful MIM furnace
building experience. It’s new business is comprised of a smaller research-sized unit
designed with a 2 cu ft hot zone (12x12x24) and a larger production size unit at 9 cu ft with
an 18x18x48 size hot zone. Other sizes are also available. The new MIM-Vac M (modular
design) has a number of design improvements including advanced Molybdenum hot zones
with “wide-flow” gas-plenum retorts using Sweepgas™ technology for consistent gas flow
dynamics over all parts. It has a compact furnace layout with construction on a structural
steel base for fast installation and easy hookup of all utilities, yet provides full access to
major components for ease of maintenance, with no cumbersome panels to remove.

Global Market for Heat Treatment Equipment. Over the years we have been asked a
number of times what is the size of the worldwide market for heat treating equipment.
According to Mr. Janusz Kowalewski, Managing Director / CEO of ALD Dynatech Furnaces
Pvt. Ltd., in India (an individual whose opinion we very much value) it is in the range of
$4.375 to $5.5 Billion USD/year. What you are seeing below is a small taste of what you will
see in a full report from Janusz which we are looking forward to publishing before the end of
the month. November 8/2013
"Global Market for Heat Treatment Equipment. The estimated annual global heat
treatment equipment sale is between $4.375 and $5.5 Billion excluding ovens, induction

Bill Jones/MTI Heritage Award. "Mr. William R. Jones, CEO of Solar Atmospheres, Inc.
received the Heritage Award at the Metal Treating Institute (MTI) Fall Meeting in Las Vegas,
Nevada, on October 12th. This most prestigious award is given in recognition of the
individual’s lifetime commitment to the betterment of the commercial heat treating industry
with one or more notable accomplishments. Only nine people in the seventy-eight year
history of MTI have ever received this award. MTI 2011-2013 President, Mr. Buster
Crossley, presented the award by introducing Mr. Jones as an “icon in the world of heat
treating.” He went on to say, “When you hear his last name, you know who is being talked

Approximately 250 furnace companies around the world manufacture a heat treatment
equipment. The list of 250 companies does not include oven, induction and steel and iron
equipment producers. The U.S. (54) China (40) and the European Union (27) hold the
majority in equipment manufacturers. The list of 250 companies is an arbitrary number
and doesn't’t match the countries’ national data. For example, the Chinese Heat Treatment
Association claims that there are 750 companies related to heat treatment, and India’s
furnace manufacturers claim there are 50, but not all companies are heat treatment
equipment manufacturers. Most likely, from the list of 250 furnace manufacturers, 10% of
the companies should not be on the list because of their low technical and production
capabilities. At the same time, an additional 10 %. should probably be on the list, but I
could not locate them and attach their technical significance. My omission of companies
that should be on the list will not change the total approximate number of furnace
manufacturers around the world. The 250 companies from the list are in 34 countries and
on every continent.
The majority of furnace manufacturers are privately owned with
several exceptions. Amongst the 12 biggest furnace companies in the world two are
privately owned (Ebner and AFC-Holcroft), three are owned by investment groups
(MHT/LOI, Ipsen,), four are owned by industrial conglomerates (Aichelin, ALD, Chugai Ro,
DOWA) and two are publicly traded companies (SECO/WARWICK, Fendong)".

Alfe Heat Treat/Defiance, Ohio, USA. It is always a joy to see a top notch, clean, state
of the art heat treat and this one fits the bill. Alfe bills themselves as the largest commercial
aluminum heat treater in North America, we have no cause to doubt it and the Defiance
location is one of their finest. This location is approximately nine years old and runs one and
only one type of product-aluminum engine blocks. This the company does on a grand scale
to the tune of 3500/day which equates to one engine block every 24 seconds which in turn
equates to 140 million pounds of product a year a truly impressive figure. This is
accomplished through 5 Can Eng basketless style solution/quenching/aging lines each
completely automated through robots which handle all the parts. The result is that while the
company runs 3 shifts/day, 7 days a week each shift requires only two operators. From
start to finish each block is identified by a S/N and can be tracked through the entire
process which also includes harness testing and machining (although machining is done by
a different company). All of these results are data logged and the results of heat treating,
hardening and machining can be accessed even 10 years after each part of processed. While
the fellow in charge of the operation, John Holifield has over 30 years of experience in this
field he hastened to add that a great deal depends upon the fellows in the photo below. To

Global Heat Treating Market. Just last week we suggested that the value of the global
heat treating market is in the range of $30 Billion/USD per year with the USA accounting for
$20 Billion of this figure. A number of readers suggested that this did not pass the “smell
test” and we can’t argue. Janusz Kowalewski, Managing Director / CEO of ALD Dynatech
Furnaces Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India sent us this report on what he feels is the true size of the
total market. We have a high opinion of Janusz and he has obviously researched this topic
quite thoroughly. Note that what you see below is just a small part of a report he sent to
us-the complete report will appear on this website shortly. November 5/2013
“Global Heat Treatment Industry; Heat treatment is a combination of operations involving
the heating, holding and cooling of metal in the solid state for the purpose of obtaining
certain desirable metallurgical properties or surface modification. Heat treatment consumes
17% of US Industrial Energy usage and consists of 2 to 15% of the total production cost.

(Source: IHEA). The global heat treatment volume is in the range of $65 to $75 billion. This
volume range doesn't’t included induction and primary iron and steel heat treatment. The
global heat treatment volume estimate is gathered from local heat treatment association’s
statistics and correlated with countries’ car production and countries GDP. The common
belief is that North America is a $20 Billion industry with 15 million vehicles manufactured in
the US in 2012 and $15 trillion GDP. China manufactures 19.5 million vehicles, has more
than half of the US’s GDP ($8.3 trillion), and its manufacturing sector generates the
equivalent of 30% of its GDP (compared to the US where the manufacturing sector only
makes up around 12% of its GDP). China heat treatment market volume should be approx.
$11 Billion. The European Union manufactures 12 million vehicles and has the same
combined GDP as the US – its heat treatment volume, cannot be much lower than the US.
Many countries have considered heat treatment as a strategic activity for the proper
development of its economy and standard of living. For example, Poland and China have
significant subsidies and grants provided to furnace manufacturers that develop advanced
technologies”.

In related Bodycote news we see that Bodycote is still in the hunt for Metco. If Bodycote
were to be successful with this acquisition it would position them as one of the largest in the
world when it comes to spray coatings. "Oct 31 (Reuters) - Bankers are working on
financing packages of around 560 million Swiss francs ($624.69 million) to back a sale of
Swiss machinery manufacturer Sulzer's coatings unit Metco, banking sources said on
Thursday. Credit Suisse was hired earlier this year to manage the sale of Metco, the world's
largest maker of thermal spray coatings, catering to the car, chemicals and energy
industries, which could fetch 800 million Swiss francs. The sale attracted interest from a
number of private equity firms and strategic corporate buyers, which submitted tentative
bids earlier this month. Two peers, Swiss Oerlikon and British Bodycote and two private
equity firms including EQT have made it through to the second round of an auction process
on Jan. 8. Oerlikon, Bodycote and Sulzer were not immediately available to comment. EQT
declined to comment. Bankers are preparing debt packages of 5.5 times to six times Metco's
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of around 98 million
Swiss francs to back private equity bids, the bankers said. The debt could be a mix of senior
leveraged loans and high yield bonds, denominated in Swiss francs, euros and dollars, they
added. Sulzer is selling the Metco unit to concentrate on more lucrative businesses making
pumps and equipment and providing services for the oil and gas industry".

Mexico; DANA Corporation has many divisions ranging from Light Vehicle to industrial
applications. DANA has two facilities in Toluca de Lerdo, Mexico. The facilities in Toluca help
DANA lead the industry with drivetrain innovations for the commercial vehicle market that
increase fuel efficiency, reduce maintenance, and lower life-cycle costs. Between the two
facilities there are over 20 batch furnaces. All of these furnaces run with generator produced
Endothermic Gas. It has to be a unique challenge processing parts at an elevation of 8750
feet (2667 m). This facility along with a nearby Hitchener plant may be the highest elevated
heat treatment facilities in the world. I was wondering if anyone knew of a facility at a
higher elevation. The team responsible for obtaining good metallurgical results are Ricardo

Recently we suggested that the Global Heat Treating Market is worth $30 Billion/year.
Well not everybody agreed with us and one reader sent us convincing proof that it is worth
more in the range of $65-$75 Billion USD/year. More on this later this week. Induction
heating company Ambrell recently announced that they have sold an EKOHEAT 35-kW/30kHz induction heating system to a fastener manufacturer. The company will use the
EKOHEAT to preheat blanks prior to forging to create fasteners. Commercial heat treater
Euclid Heat Treat in Euclid, Ohio has made an impressive investment in the form of a

Exo Generators (2 available)
Gasbarre.Sinterite Endo Generator
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
