Summer Doldrums. We're now into the summer doldrums where nothing much happens in the
heat treating industry because of holidays and shutdowns throughout the Northern Hemisphere
so this issue of The Monty will reflect that-wrong! As a matter of fact we have taken strong
measures to make sure that this an exciting issue of The Monty and this includes interviews with
some of the top people in the industry around the world. Heat treaters and furnace builders from
as far afield as Germany, India, China and Australia each one of which has a story to tell and a
passion for the industry. In this issue we also lambast a recent report we ran across about the
heat treating industry-not worth the paper it is written on and mention new furnace orders, job
changes, heat treat fires and trends in the industry.

The Company Behind
“The Super Belt”
CAN YOUR BELT TOP 21 MONTHS OF BELT LIFE?
Our belts track straighter, better resist belt carburization, and provide for an
overall longer lasting belt when compared to the competition.
Customers have remarked that some of our belts have been nicknamed “The Super Belt” with
belt life up to 21 months (hearth) and 5 years (roller hearth). How do we do it?
Wire Mesh Products has developed a proprietary
material used in the heat treat industry known as 3519Cb Refined Chemistry. This alloy formula takes
the standard 35-19Cb and places certain limitations
on key elements that are vital to improving overall
belt life. Numerous field tests proved the alloy
delivered better results than the standard 35-19Cb.
The resulting alloy has shown significant
improvement in the areas of carburization resistance
and creep strength, leading to longer belt life and
higher furnace throughput.

Heat Treater. Belts have been running 3 plus years processing over 10,000 lbs/hour.
SUPERIOR
MANUFACTURING
To take full advantage of the 35-19Cb Refined Chemistry, WMP
takes great care in the ‘weaving’ of every belt to specification,
otherwise, the many advantages of the Refined Chemistry will
be severely diminished.

Bodycote Financial Results. Commercial heat treating giant Bodycote has just release
their Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (available at
http://www.bodycote.com/). Bottom line is the company is doing well although recently this
has not been reflected in the share price but this is probably due more to the fact that the
stock is very thinly traded and the stock markets in general have not been performing
particularly well. We have "cherry picked" some of the most interesting points from these
results and these can be found below. What we find most interesting is how the recent
acquisition of Metal Improvement is proceeding and the investments in Mexico, China,
France and London, Ohio. For anybody with an interest in the worldwide heat treating
industry we would urge you to see what the only global commercial heat treater is doing
and where they see the growth in the future. July 27/2012

· Good growth from North American Automotive & General Industrial and Aerospace &
Energy in all geographies
· Headline operating profit up 10%, with headline margin up to 15.8%
· 110% headline operating cash conversion6
· Free cash flow exceeded cost of US acquisition
· Net debt at £16.7m
· Interim dividend up 11% to 4.0p.
Bodycote completed the acquisition of the heat treatment business of
Curtiss-Wright Corporation at the end of the first quarter for a
consideration of £32.6m. This brought nine additional facilities into the
Group, one of which was closed as planned and the assets redistributed
to other Bodycote sites. (Editors note: the facility closed was in
Salem, Ohio which was acquired by Metal Improvement in 2000).
The remaining sites offer high margin services across the spectrum of
market sectors in the USA, but with a notable presence in aerospace and
energy. The fit into the existing Bodycote network is excellent, bringing
us into the key aerospace manufacturing hub in Wichita, Kansas. The
acquired sites also help to fill in gaps in our capability to service
automotive and general industrial customers from Indiana to New
Jersey. The business has performed somewhat ahead of our
expectations in its first three months of ownership.
All parts of the Group continue to focus on operational efficiency and
cost control. Excluding employees who joined the Group with the
acquisition,
average
headcount
was
unchanged
from
2011,
notwithstanding the continued increase in sales. Headline operating cash
flow conversion was 110%2, yielding an operating cash flow of £49.1m.
Net capital expenditure remains closely controlled, but did increase to
£26.6m (from £20.6m in the first half of 2011), a capital expenditure to
depreciation ratio of 1.1 (2011:0.8), in line with our stated intent to invest in capacity to
service specific areas of long term demand growth. The investment is primarily in our
selected focus technologies, notably in Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Speciality Stainless
Steel Processes (S3P), together with expanded capacity to service the aerospace market.
We expect to achieve accelerating growth from these activities as capacity constraints are
eased. Our facilities in Empalme (Mexico) and London (Ohio) are being expanded and a new
site is being built in Toulouse (France) as part of the increase in aerospace-orientated
capacity. In emerging markets we continue to prioritise China and a new facility is under
construction in Jinan. All of these significant investments are backed by long term contracts,
including those announced earlier this year with Precision Castparts Corp, Rolls-Royce and
ZF Lenksysteme.
Reaction to these results was swift and included this from the UK Investors

Solar Atmospheres Press Release. "Unique, New 20 Bar Furnace Expands Vacuum Heat
Treating Capabilities At Solar Atmospheres Of Western PA . July, 26, 2012 – Hermitage, Pa.
- Solar Atmospheres of Western PA recently commenced operation of a new custom-built
horizontal 20 bar vacuum furnace (40” wide x 50” deep x 36” high, 3500 max load) at its
Hermitage facility. Designed and built by sister company Solar Manufacturing, it is the
fastest cooling furnace in the Solar fleet and one of only a few of its kind in the U.S. The
excessive pressure and high speed gas velocities of the 20 bar furnace simulates oil
quenching. However, using inert gas as an alternative to oil minimizes distortion and
provides a much cleaner and greener process. Solar can also better serve customers
requiring vacuum carburizing by increasing core hardnesses of large cross-sections. This is a
particular benefit to those in the gear industry. President Bob Hill states, “By adding these
unique capabilities of the 20 bar quenching to our repertoire, we can now effectively process

currency impact. Yet the heat treatment specialist makes more money from fast growing
sectors, like aerospace and energy, than anything else, which should offset turbulence
elsewhere – leaving the shares looking too cheaply rated. That said, management admit
that 40 per cent of the business – the automotive and general industrial operations in
Europe – is softening. French car manufacturers are struggling and Germany was weaker in
the second quarter. This has rippled out to Poland and the Czech Republic and China has
been a "bit less exciting". Still, these trends have been well-flagged and weaker demand in
emerging markets – just 10 per cent of sales – isn't expected to last. Significantly, 60 per
cent of the business is in growth mode. Cars and trucks are still selling well in North
America and sales to the aerospace and defence industry grew nearly a fifth during the
period, with the headline operating profit margin having hit 24 per cent. That trend is
unlikely to change given the production ramp-up at Boeing and Airbus. Elsewhere, revenue
from oil and gas work was up a third, and North American mining and agricultural
equipment made a big contribution, too. Investec Securities has trimmed forecasts for fullyear adjusted pre-tax profit by 4 per cent to £88m, giving adjusted EPS of 34.8p (from
£80.9m and 32.1p in 2011).”
Ipsen Press Release. "CHERRY VALLEY, IL – "Based out of Saitama, Japan, Castec Inc.’s
overseas facility in Indianapolis, Ind. has recently purchased a 2 bar H2 TITAN® with a

a wider range of materials and assist more customers than we could with our 10 bar
furnaces.” The unique cooling capability of this high-tech furnace was recently put to the
test by processing a 2,000lb., 40” tall valve casing with a 3” maximum cross section. This
4140 fully- machined weldment was austenitized at 1575○F +/- 10○F. After the 20 bar
nitrogen quench, the resultant hardness was HRC54 with a fully martensitic structure. The
part was then tempered to specifications and delivered to the customer with minimal
distortion. These results were made possible through many innovative furnace features that
improve gas velocities by a factor of three. The newly designed fan and improved gas-flow
system minimizes pressure drops and increased gas velocities to nearly 200 MPH. State-ofthe-art technology is incorporated throughout the furnace including an interactive touch
screen SolarVac™ 4000 interface and a compact design. The furnace will be commissioned
to process to stringent pyrometry specifications for aerospace customers including Boeing.

Aberfoyle Metal Treaters/Guelph, Ontario, Canada. We have profiled this truly unique
heat treat in the past but it is such a fascinating operation that we couldn't help but take a
picture or two during a recent visit. What you are looking at is probably the only commercial
heat treater in North America with this size of furnace. Shown in the photos is the owner
and founder Mr. Harry Hall and Mr. Ryan Fussell, owner of Southwest Metal Treating
of Fort Worth, Texas. We pride ourselves on knowing virtually everybody in the worldwide
heat treating industry (especially in North America) and we cannot think of another
commercial operation that can handle parts up to 100' long. July 26/2012
Mercer Technologies/Vacuum Furnace Order. "A vacuum furnace supplied to a
Northeastern Aerospace Manufacturer with a free work area of 36”w x 48”d x 30”h and was
supplied with a surge tank, loader and a turnkey installation. The furnace system has
passed the NADCAP certification per AMS 2750D and is running production parts. The new
hot zone was constructed using mild steel with 1.500” graphite felt and .040” CFC on the
hot face. The front opening of the hot zone was covered utilizing CFC channel. A curved
graphite heating element assembly and a graphite hearth assembly complete the hot zone.

Patt Technologies Inc./St. Eustache, Quebec, Canada. Patt was a commercial heat
treater located just north of Montreal, Quebec that offered two processes, Ion Nitriding and
Coatings both from Rubig furnaces. The company recently went into receivership with offers
being taken for the company either as a going concern or on a piecemeal basis. Our latest
information is telling us that all of the equipment was purchased by an auction company
with the building and business not being purchased (although this is not confirmed). It is a
shame to see a well known company such as this in such straights, at one time it was a
booming business with one bearing manufacturer alone sending them over $1 million/year
in business. It will be interesting to see what happens with the equipment. July 26/2012
Tri-City Heat Treat Company/Rock Island, IL, USA. From the Quad City Times we have
a report of a small fire earlier this week at commercial heat treater Tri-City in Rock Island,
IL. "Upon arrival to Tri-City Heat Treat, firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the roof
and ventilators on the southeast corner of the building. After talking with workers it was
determined insulation in the roof was on fire. Most of the fire was extinguished by the
sprinkler system. The remainder was extinguished using dry chemical hand extinguishers.
The Rock island Fire Department was assisted by the Rock Island Arsenal Fire Department.
Fire crews were rotated in and out of the building because of the heat in the building and
the high temperature outside. There were no injuries. The cause of the fire, which caused
about $10,000 in damage, was due to a malfunction of one of the heat treat furnaces."
While a fire is always very unfortunate with damage estimated at $10,000 it must have
been a pretty small fire. For more details about Tri-City we would suggest the news item
below that we posted almost exactly 1 year ago today. July 25/2012
"Tri-City Heat Treat Company/Rock Island, IL, USA. With the turmoil in worldwide financial
markets it is very easy to lose track of the fact that all captive and commercial heat treaters
are finding business to be good these days (more on this tomorrow). A good example of this
is large, third generation commercial heat treater Tri-City Heat Treat Company in Illinois.
There is no reason for us to ramble on about the company itself, details are available at

HighTemp Furnaces/India. India is booming when it comes to heat treating-let's hear
what one of the top heat treaters in the country Mr. Gopal Mahadevan, President of
HighTemp has to say about his commercial heat treating business and furnace building
business and also his comments about the industry in India. July 24/2012
Greeting from us! Picking up from our last meeting – during your visit to India with Dale –
that was a memorable one, glad to be in touch with you again. It was nice having you visit
and experience India as we see it.
1) Gopal it is a few years now since we visited your plants in India but
Dale and I still have very fond memories of that trip. While it was
certainly a culture shock from Canada I was extremely impressed with
the people and the sights. While I have a very good understanding of
Hightemp our readers would certainly like to know the history of
Hightemp and how you came to be in both the new furnace business
and commercial heat treating.
"Hightemp was established in the year 1970, with the objective of
designing and manufacturing small Lab Ovens and Drying cabinets.
Founded by my Father, the company was based in Mumbai. The
technology was completely developed indigenously and initially catered
to the Government Institutions, and Public sector undertakings in India.
A highly motivated and focused workforce of 180 people worked
together taking the company from strength to strength. Our expansion
plans to increase our scale of operations; led us to move our operations
to Peenya, Bangalore in 1978. On completing my Degree in Electronics
Engineering in 1980, I joined the organization. We managed to secure a
Technical Licence agreement with THT (now DOWA) for building
atmospheric and continuous furnaces in Hightemp. Taking a leaf out of
Dowa’s business practice, Hightemp ventured into Commercial heat
treatment in the year 1991 by setting up our first furnace for BOSCH in
www.themonty.com
especially when it comes to the recession of 2009. With the background out of the way we
come to the point, Tri City is doing well these days and in an effort to improve turnaround
times for their customers they are making a very substantial (well over $1 million USD
would be our guess) investment in new equipment. The equipment will consist of 2 new
Surface Combustion Batch IQ furnaces with working dimensions of 36" X 72" X 36" with a
capacity of 7,000 pounds each. These will be in addition to their current batch furnaces and
will at the end of the day increase batch IQ capacity by over 40% to 24,900 pounds. One of
these new furnaces will have a top cool option and the equipment is expected to be online
by March of 2012. In addition Tri City started in July 2011 updating all the controls on their
furnaces to top of the line SSI controls and the new furnaces will also have SSI controls.
Control updates will be completed by December of this year. The industry is full of stories
such as this one, however everything in overshadowed these days by gloomy government
debt issues." August 20/2011
Bangalore. Today, I am pleased to inform you that, we have 62 furnaces in operations
across 4 plants in India, serving a host of MNC companies, meeting stringent quality
standards. All our plants are ISO, TS, 14001 certified with the Bangalore and Nelamangala
facilities being NADCAP certified."
"Hightemp’s strength has been its diverse manufacturing portfolio in
furnace building, leveraging alliances from world leaders from USA,
Canada, UK and Japan. This helped us in meeting diverse market
requirements and specific needs of our customers over a wide range of
equipment and processes. Our alliance partners include the best in the
business like AFC-Holcroft, Vac Aero International, Pyromaitre, TTI Group,
Applied Process and, of course, Dowa Thermotech Co. Ltd. The
Commercial Heat Treating business is located in close proximity to
automotive clusters in India at Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and Delhi,
running 24X7 with strict adherence to Cost, Quality and Delivery."
3) So which is your passion-new furnaces or heat treating? I would have
to assume it gives you a great deal of insight into the industry building
furnaces but also seeing the problems associated with running furnaces.
"The two are as closely related like building a car and driving it. Both
furnace building and heat treating require completely different skill sets
and capability to meet customer requirements. In India, it is expected
that a furnace being built must give operate 24x7 to yield maximum output, quality with
minimum or nil downtime. This is possible only if our designs and the manufacturing
process practiced complement each other to offer our customers trouble free equipment.
The furnace manufacturing activity depends on a committed work force with an efficient
supply chain ensuring timely receipt of components, free from transportation and logistics
problems. As in most cases, the furnace component vendor is located about 2000 kms away
and this can hamper operations as the furnace building activities heavily relies on them. The
heat treatment business needs robust infrastructure towards power, utilities and man
power, which in some locations, may be problematic. Over all, the potential for growth of
furnace building activity and heat treating activity is huge, driven primarily by the growth of
the auto sector."Click Here to Continue
Monday Morning Briefing. So what is worth mentioning today in the worldwide heat
treating industry? We see that commercial heat treater Bohler-Uddeholm Thermo-Tech
in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada has recently brought on line another gas nitrider. BohlerUddeholm is a worldwide company that offers heat treating services at a number of
locations around the world. This particular plant is one of the most impressive commercial
operations we have ever seen and has had gas nitriding capabilities for many years. We've
said it before but we'll say it again; when asked which heat treating technology is growing
www.themonty.com
2) So what can you tell us about the capabilities of the new furnace
business and the commercial heat treating side?
Hightemp Furnaces/India. We welcome our newest advertiser Hightemp Furnaces of
India. Hightemp is both a furnace manufacturing company and a commercial heat treater
based in Bangalore, India. On the commercial heat treating side of things Hightemp is one
of the largest in India with a total of 62 furnaces in operation spread over 4 locations.
Hightemp is also one of the largest new furnace builders in the country and recently took
great strides to expand their capabilities when Dowa Furnaces of Japan acquired a majority
stake in the company. Please do click on their banner ad to find out more of the company.
Tomorrow we will be featuring an interview with the President of the company Mr. Gopal
Mahadevan who tells us how the company got started, what are their future plans and also
gives us a very good idea about the booming heat treating market in the country. To give
you a clearer idea of what Hightemp is capable of we have these photos below showing a
typical installation. July 23/2012

the fastest our answer would be nitriding-both gas and plasma. Our friends at Atmosphere
Engineering have been busy recently; "Atmosphere Engineering has successfully converted
12 thermal processing furnaces for Dana's Heavy Axle Mfg facility in Toluca Mexico
from endothermic gas to nitrogen methanol atmosphere using the SmartMethT control
system and has recently secured an order to upgrade another 12 furnaces before the end of
this year. The main driver for the conversion from endothermic gas was to improve the
atmosphere quality and processing efficiency within the heat treatment furnace." Can Eng
Furnaces of Niagara Falls, Canada has made some personnel changes recently. Alan Van
Geyn, formerly President of the company is now Vice Chairman, Mike Klauck becomes the
new President and Greg Stanley is now Sales Manager for North America Steel Products.
Can Eng is the largest Canadian builder of new furnaces. Bodycote in Empalme, Sonora,
Mexico is now Nadcap accredited for vacuum heat treatment, brazing and sintering. While
the Mexican heat treat market is large and getting larger by the day there are still few
commercial heat treaters in the country that are Nadcap certified. Jeff McLaughlin a
furnace rebuilder in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA is doing well these days. Not only did he just
get married recently to the beautiful Trisha (photos further down the page) he will also in
the very near future be moving into a brand new 17,000 square foot building which will be
just down the street from alloy supplier Wirco. GH Induction Atmospheres in Rochester,
NY, USA recently built an Induction hardening system for an automotive supplier. The
system will harden, temper and quench ball studs at the rate of 240 pieces/hour.
Interesting company GH in that they quite often combine Induction heating and
atmospheres in the same system which makes them very unique. Moving to the UK we see
that commercial heat treater Alloy Heat Treatment in Dudley UK is quite justifiably
boasting about their new aluminum heat treating line which the company claims is the
largest in the UK with working dimensions of 103" X 95" X 90". This is how the company
describes themselves; "Alloy Heat Treatment AHT company is the largest sub contract heat
treater in the UK for aluminum alloys". While the oven is not yet NADCAP approved that is
the plan for the future. July 23/2012
"AFC-Holcroft Supplies Mesh Belt Furnaces to Multi-National Tier One Supplier (July, 2012)
AFC-Holcroft has received an order for supply of a new Mesh Belt stress relieving furnace, to
be installed in Europe. The belt type recirculating atmosphere stress relief furnace will be a
near duplicate of a furnace recently purchased by the same customer, which was installed in
North America. The equipment will be shipped in sections using standard sea containers.
Once in production, the equipment will be used for stress relieving of vehicle pistons. About

Ipsen/Gleason Cutting Tools. "Ipsen has shipped two 6 bar TurboTreaters® to Gleason
Cutting Tools Corporation located in Loves Park, Ill. The units are designed for a maximum
operating temperature of 2500ºF and are capable of quenching in nitrogen up to 6 bar
absolute pressure. Standard features include a 2-inch thick carbon composite/graphite felt
hot zone. As the furnaces will be used for hardening and tempering, the units were
purchased without a diffusion pump and will use convection assisted heating to 1600ºF. The
use of convection significantly reduces cycle times. These TurboTreaters are equipped with
the newly standardized industrial VPN router, a modem installed so software support
personnel can remotely perform diagnostics. In addition to hardening and tempering, the
energy-efficient TurboTreater is ideal for brazing, solution anneal and stress relieving
applications, while operating with a high pressure cooling system for fast quenching with
360º cooling uniformity. Its patented gas quenching system design reduces gas
consumption up to 40% without sacrificing its high-speed cycle time and reduces floor space

AFC-Holcroft/European Mesh Belt Furnace Order. It is relatively unusual for furnace
builders to build and ship large furnaces from Europe to North America or visa versa but
that appears to be the case here. July 20/2012
Heat Treating Reports. Recently an acquaintance in the industry sent me a report he
recently received from a company by the name of XXXX XXXX. This was entitled 2012
"Premium Report on Metal Heat Treating" and was billed as a report on the size of the
heat treating industry in the US with a summary of the major players.
Never have I seen a more worthless report in my life! Let's back up
though and tell this tale from the beginning. Every supplier to the
industry would love to have a nice concise list of every captive and
commercial heat treater in North America preferably with names and
contact information. However after 34 years in the industry I have yet
to see such a list that was worth the paper it was printed on. A listing of
commercial heat treaters is reasonably easy to come up with, as a
matter of fact our friends at Industrial Heating have a good list on
their website. However no such list exists for the captive heat treating
industry for the simple fact that captive heat treats are just a small
portion of the manufacturing process for any manufacturer and there is
very little incentive for a manufacturer to spread this information
around. For years we have been asked if we sell our mailing lists (which
we don't do) so at the end of the day probably the most complete lists
are held by long established furnace builders such as AFC-Holcroft,
Ipsen, Aichelin, Surface and a host of others who have no desire
whatever to share this information. So getting back to the beginning of
our story some industry suppliers end up buying reports out of sheer
desperation and as a way of hopefully gleaming some useful
information. The report that we read claims the heat treating industry in
the US in 2011 was a little over $5 Billion/USD, with the average heat
treater having sales of a little under $8 million USD with an average of
34 employees-all of these figures we violently disagree with. Let’s get to the best part
though; included in the report was a list of what we assume are supposedly the largest heat

requirements, making it the best solution for your most demanding heat treatment projects.

Southwest Metal Treating Corp./Fort Worth, Texas. Over the past couple of weeks we
had brief profiles of two commercial heat treaters in the DFW area of Texas now on to
another one Southwest Metal Treating in Fort Worth. Owned and operated by Mr. Ryan
Fussell it is worth mentioning how close the heat treating ties are in Texas. Ryan's uncle
John Fussell is owner of Q-Tech Heat Treating and Ryan's cousin (or second or third cousin
not sure which) Brad Luce is part owner of Modern HT another large heat treater in the
area. The relationships between heat treaters in Texas go even further than this but it
would take a few pages to go through them all so that is a tale for another day. The first
thing that strikes a visitor about Southwest is the vast area it covers, 7 or 8 acres with
various buildings spread out around the property each dedicated to a different type of heat
treating, batch IQ's, vacuum, carbottoms and Induction. Two of the photos below show very
recent additions to the company; one of a very impressive 2 bar vacuum furnace which has
just been added (standing in front is Gord Montgomery on the left, Martin Leos, Plant
Manager and the proprietor himself Ryan Fussell on the right). The second a large gas fired
carbottom which is just about to enter production. Another photo below shows the shot
www.themonty.com
treaters in the country (by the way it is almost impossible to tell whether this report is only
commercials, captives or both-this was never clarified another glaring defect in the report).
Of the 20 or so names on the list over half we did not recognize and of the ones we
recognized Paulo Products was towards the head of the list with sales under $20
million/year. Paulo is a fine company that we have listed as the third largest commercial in
the country but their sales are far higher than this and there was no mention at all of
Bodycote (far and away the largest), or Bluewater (clearly the second largest). How you can
put together a report which supposedly is an in depth look at the size of the industry and
miss most of the largest players is beyond me. Kind of like talking about car sales and not
mentioning Toyota, GM or Ford. Conclusion: It only cost this fellow a few hundred dollars
for the report but at the end of the day that few hundred would have been better spent at a
racetrack. People most of these reports are filled with fancy verbiage and culled from a few
government statistics available to everybody-don't waste your money on them. July

blasting area. During our recent visit we ran across one of the happiest guys in the business
Mr. Jimmy Morris of Conrad Kacsik Instrument Systems Inc. Jimmy we have known for a
number of years and without a doubt he is one of the most cheerful guys we have run
across in the industry. Southwest is fairly typical of a Texas heat treat although even after
all these years it throws me off not seeing walls on some of the buildings. No reason why
you would want to in Texas but for a Canadian boy use to snow drifts it immediately comes
to your attention as being "not right". July 18/2012

1) Jörn you and I met at FNA in Florida a couple of years back and since then have run
across each other at a number of shows, including Wiesbaden, Germany last year where we
enjoyed a few beers and too much Schnapps but at the end of the day I don't know a great
deal about your background. How did you ever get involved in the heat treating industry?
"Yes, Wiesbaden at night is always good fun and I also enjoy that every
year. Well, I got involved in the heat treating industry since I was a kid.
My father founded the company over 30 years ago and anytime I
wanted to get something like for example a new bike, I had to work
during the holidays and earn my own money. So I started by cleaning
the workshop and step by step I was allowed to do other work. Then I
did an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic before I started my
studies as a mechanical engineer. And today I run the business together
with my wife Natasha. So I could say that heat treatment or better said
industrial furnaces have always been and will be in the future an
important part of my life."
2) Your company ROHDE Schutzgasöfen GmbH would appear to be quite
well known in Europe but less so in North America and I think of ROHDE
mainly for pit furnaces but this impression could be incorrect. Perhaps
you could give us some details about ROHDE?
"This is correct. As we are a family business our main focus in the past
has been on the European market. But the last couple of years we
started to get more international and the North American market is also
interesting for us. We try to get known better and that's also the reason
why we attend the FNA and Heat Treat Shows in the US. I believe we
are mainly known for pit furnaces as we are very innovative in that field
and maybe even the technology leader. We constantly develop in that area and make
improvements. For example our "big furnace" which is 5,2m x 5m is a completely new
construction in pit design and this project was a great challenge for us. And we managed
that challenge as the furnace is now running. Besides pit furnaces we also manufacture
chamber furnaces, furnaces for special processes and salt recovery units. Basically I can say
that our product range includes every furnace with a retort."
3) Every furnace builder in the world is eyeing China, India and other developing countries
as the areas where most growth in heat treating will be coming from. Do you share this
view and if so how are you expanding your presence in these areas?
"I do agree that these are definitely growing markets. We do not expand our presence in
China, but in India we have a representative as it is not possible to handle that from
Germany. We believe that in the future India will be an important market for us. But we do
not want to establish production sites in one of these countries. We deliver our products
worldwide but we want to guarantee "quality made in Germany". Click Here to Continue

ROHDE Schutzgasöfen GmbH/Interview. As part of an ongoing series of interviews with
very interesting heat treaters and heat treat suppliers around the world we have this one
from Jörn Rohde, President of furnace builder ROHDE Schutzgasöfen GmbH in
Germany. What makes this most interesting is that German furnace builders rank amongst
the largest in the world and export around the globe meaning their influence is felt in the
heat treating industry in most countries. July 17/2012
Monday Morning Briefing. Our recent mention about Dan Herring's new book about
vacuum heat treating did not meet with everybody's approval. Bill Jones CEO, Solar
Atmospheres Inc. took offense at our levity. We would not argue that we expect that this
book will be a valuable addition to the vacuum heat treating industry. "Gord's
announcement concerning Dan Herring’s book is more than trite. This new book on Vacuum
Heat Treating is a rather complete work on vacuum, vacuum furnaces, and more important
vacuum heat treatment applications. It is a most important read for anyone practicing today
in the field and will be a good reference book for years into the future". William R. Jones,
FASM, CEO, Solar Atmospheres Inc." Ralf Giebmanns who was Director of Marketing &
Sales at Ipsen International Furnaces and Area Sales Manager for Southeast Asia is now
Managing Director at PEER Energy GmbH. PCC which is commercial heat treater
Bodycote's largest single customer is continuing to add acquisitions after their recent
addition of commercial heat treater Aerocraft Heat Treating Co. "Portland-based Precision
Castparts Corp. has an agreement to buy Klune Industries, which forms, machines, and
fabricates aircraft component structures in aluminum, nickel, titanium, and steel. The move
extends a series of PCC acquisitions that are focused on aircraft manufacturing, though it
has also purchased companies operating in the power-generation market". Walter Munhoz
who was with well known vacuum pump manufacturer Edwards recently parted ways with
the company. If hotel reservations are a good indication the upcoming FNA show and MTI
Fall Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee should be expecting a very good attendance. Rooms
are selling out and FNA has booked a third block of hotel rooms to keep up with demand.
Chris Wilcox who was involved in heat treating at auto parts maker and captive heat
treater Bosch in Charleston, SC, USA is leaving after 13 years for an assignment in
Shanghai, China. Recently we had some comments on this page about vacuum carburizing,
www.themonty.com
Burgess-Norton/UPC. "Burgess-Norton selected United Process Controls (UPC,
www.group-upc.com) to upgrade the pusher furnace controls at its powder metal plant in
Geneva, Illinois, USA . UPC supplied Protherm-based controls for an Ipsen pusher furnace.
The new controls use the Protherm 600 to monitor and control furnace line operations
including temperature, carbon potential, push time with temperature and atmosphere
tolerance, quench oil temperature, washer temperature, and draw furnace temperature. An
independent chart recorder was also interfaced to the Protherm 600 for automatic
redundant storage of the backup archives. ABOUT UNITED PROCESS CONTROL; United
Process Controls is an alliance of four companies all with a strong presence in heat treating
and combustion, whose aim is to provide prime control solutions through their worldwide
sales and services network with easy-to-access local support. United Process Controls
includes Furnace Control, Marathon Monitors, Process-Electronic and Waukee Engineering."

Bodycote/Farnborough Air Show. "Bodycote enjoyed another successful showing at the
2012 Farnborough Air Show. Visitors were treated to the first return visit by the US Marine
Corps’ Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor since 2006. Bodycote CA is considered a key
strategic supplier heat treating numerous components throughout the aircraft. (photo

Ipsen Press Release. "CHERRY VALLEY, IL – Ipsen has shipped a 1.9 Bar H6 TITAN® to
an industrial energy process management facility in Jiangsu Providence, China. TITAN’s
ability to fit in a standard shipping container provides cost-effective shipping overseas,
furthering the broad range of benefits offered through the TITAN customer experience.
Outfitted with an all-metal hot zone, this particular TITAN was installed by our
comprehensive, global service support team through Ipsen China. This particular furnace
includes the optional Hydrogen Partial Pressure system and Technical Service Package,
www.themonty.com
from a commercial heat treater in the US we have these thoughts; "Your comment Gord
reference vacuum carburizing: Like many vacuum processes vacuum carburizing is growing
modestly but steady among the select few commercial heat treat companies that have
taken the challenge. Our Solar Souderton plant has been running VC for five years. VC sales
for 2012 are modestly projected at $1 million, and represents approx 6% of Souderton's
gross sales. 25% of applications are centered on components for race cars, valve train, cam
shafts, and gearing. Aerospace gearing and engine components accounts for nearly 50%.
The balance of 25% comes from general commercial HT and paid R&D projects. The good
thing about R&D is this represents additional growth opportunities. We are running VC in
our Hermitage, Pa. and Fontana, Calif. plants also but at much lower production rates, as
their technology is currently centered on other production opportunities. Although 5 years
represents a long learning cure most of our growth is in 2011 and 2012. From this view
point our growth is exponential. William R. Jones, CEO. Solar Atmospheres". For the week
upcoming we have a number of photos of a very interesting Commercial Heat Treater in
Texas and also an interview with a fellow who runs a very successful New Furnace
Company in Germany. July 16/2012
Q-Tech Heat Treat/Dallas, Texas. Our friends at commercial heat treat Q-Tech Heat
Treat in Dallas, Texas are doing well these days. Like most captive and commercial heat
treaters in the great state of Texas they are hard pressed to keep up with demand but they
are taking steps to increase capacity and have recently doubled their roller hearth capacity
and in addition have added more atmosphere equipment. Like most commercials in Texas
this is a family owned business and the owner John Fussell is a life long heat treater who
has grown up in the heat treating industry. It is no surprise that virtually every company in
Texas lives and dies by the oil and gas industries and these are the boom times with all
suppliers to the energy industry expecting the good times to continue for at least a few
more years. The photos below give you an idea about this 60,000 square foot facility and

"Vacuum Heat Treatment is a new book focused on principles, practices and applications
providing the heat-treating industry with its first truly comprehensive resource on the
subject of vacuum technology, which is the fastest growing segment of the heat treat
industry today. This book provides the reader with practical advice, a diverse set of
application examples and a wide range of technical and engineering information necessary
to make informed decisions about how to heat treat and what equipment features are
necessary to do the job. What makes this book unique is that it is written in such a way that
engineers, metallurgists, heat treater operators, supervisors, managers, quality, industrial
and manufacturing engineers and just about anyone interested in thermal processing or
manufacturing can become skilled in the art and science of vacuum heat treatment. Vacuum

Texas Heat Treating. Back in March we had a number of photos of commercial heat
treater Texas Heat Treating and their brand new operation in Fort Worth, Texas. It is
fascinating to see the plant coming together and the great strides the company has made in
www.themonty.com
Vacuum Heat Treatment/Dan Herring. Well known speaker and Heat Treat consultant
Dan Herring has written a griping tale of sex and intrigue in the vacuum heat treating
industry. Ok we're sure it is gripping but with little romance or intrigue this being the heat
treating industry. As Dan has always had an excellent way of explaining things in a way that
all can understand we have no doubt but that this will be a very usefully tool for the
industry. July 13/2012
"Texas Heat Treating Inc./Fort Worth, Texas. It is relatively unusual to see "greenfield"
commercial heat treat operations set up in North America, we would estimate that there is
no more than a handful every year but you are looking at just such an animal. Texas Heat
Treating in Round Rock, Texas has been around for quite a while and has a very large
operation but their plant in Fort Worth is brand new and just entering production (more
about Texas Heat Treating in Round Rock in the next few days). Look at the pictures below
and we'll tell you what you are seeing; three out of a planned 5 batch IQ lines each with
working dimensions of 36" X 72" X 36" with associated equipment. What you are not seeing
are several vacuum furnaces, a gas nitrider, and two large pit carburizing furnaces-some of
this equipment is already on site, some will be delivered shortly. Folks this represents a
major investment on the part of Texas Heat Treating and this was NOT done on a
shoestring, everything is top notch. A nice facility which represents the booming heat treat
industry in Texas and a credit to Buster Crossley, President of the company. March

Ray Reynoldson. Earlier this week we mentioned how heat treat innovator Ray Reynoldson
of Australia had passed away. Base upon the number of comments we received Ray was
known around the world. The most eloquent comments came from heat treat consultant
David Pye. July 12/2012
"Hello
Gordon,
This
is
David
once
again
(Pye
Met)
(new
website
at
www.heattreatmentexperts.com). I have known Ray since about 1980 He and I were almost
the same age. (He was about 3 months older than I) Of course it was through fluidized beds
that I got to know Ray. I was present when closed it up and moved to Aalberts Industries in
Venlo ( I visited him and John Aalberts together there and run one of the plants (with fluid
beds) up in Groningen for John for a short time. Ray was a very personable and gentle
person, but also very firm. His metallurgical knowledge was superb, and he was a teacher
by example and by his knowledge. I lost touch with him for a short time when he returned
www.themonty.com
just the past couple of months. (our previous news item is below). A visit earlier this week
gave us the opportunity to see the fourth brand new 36 X 72 X 36 batch IQ installed and
running, a pit for the fifth which will be arriving in September and an enormous pit
dedicated to a very large Nitrex gas nitrider and two pit carburizing furnaces which will be
arriving shortly. The photo below shows from the left Rick Fleming, Plant Manager (up until
recently with Bodycote), Daryl Hoisager, General Manager, Buster Crossley, President and
Gord Montgomery. July 12/2012
Jim Wilbur/Wm. Wright & Associates, Inc. Jim and his brother KC together form one of
the best known HT rep firms in the US Midwest selling for companies such as AFC-Holcroft
and UPC. Well Thursday July 12 is Jim’s 50th birthday and this is how his brother KC would
like the world to see him. I have known Jim for a long time and can attest to the fact that
Jim treats his body like a temple, a temple to which all are invited. July 12/2012
Nakal/Akademi Metalurji. Nakal is a Russian company which offers
catalytic gas nitriding equipment, a nitriding process which claims to offer
enormous advantages over conventional gas nitriding including vastly
reduced cycle times. The company has numerous units in operation in
Europe and have made some progress in North America (their partner in
NA is AFC-Holcroft). In April of this year they conducted tests for a heat
treater in Istanbul, Turkey by the name of Akademi Metalurji who had
recently purchased a CGN 10.15/7 unit. Tests were very successful and the
furnace was recently delivered with a fully automated nitriding control
system. We would expect that we will be hearing more about Nakal and catalytic gas
nitriding equipment in the future. July 11/2012

to Australia. But picked up again because of my relationship (license agreement in South
Africa) with Stein Atkinson Stordy. Over the years, our friendship really developed and I
worked with Ray on a number of projects both in South Africa, USA and in Russia (and with
Andrew Fitchett, his partner) The world of heat treatment and metallurgical processing has
lost one of Gods gentlemen. What a great pity that all of his knowledge has gone with him,
however he will be remembered by students in Melbourne's university and at Deakin
University as being a farmer (planting seeds in students minds which are metallurgical
seeds) (Some will grow into Ray's technology continuation). He also had a wonderful great
passion for horses. He loved his horses and so did his family. I give thanks to Rays family
for allowing Ray to develop his mind and passion for metallurgy and heat treatment and for

AFC-Holcroft/Bodycote. "(July, 2012) Bodycote Thermal Processing has recently
purchased an AFC-Holcroft E-Z Series 13500 cfh endothermic generator for installation in
their plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. The modular design of the E-Z Series generator
enables multiple units to be integrated for higher capacity atmosphere generation. In this
case, an array of (3) 4,500 cfh systems are integrated together to provide the needed
capacity while requiring less floor space than 3 stand-alone units. The atmosphere produced
by the E-Z Series generator, when enriched with natural gas, is suitable for gas carburizing
and carbon restoration of the low and medium carbon steels. The addition of ammonia to
the atmosphere will create a suitable atmosphere for carbonitriding. The atmosphere, as
generated, may be used for clean annealing, normalizing and hardening of all carbon steels.

"Ray Reynoldson. It is with great sadness that we wish to advise that Ray Reynoldson
passed away on Wednesday 4 July 2012, following a sudden stroke. He was aged 72. Born
and raised in Melbourne Australia, Ray trained as a metallurgist at RMIT in Melbourne,
before moving to the United Kingdom where he worked for many years. In the early 1980’s
he returned to Australia and was General Manager for Stein Atkinson Stordy (Australia),
before establishing, Quality Heat Treatment. After many years in the furnace and
commercial heat treatment world, he formed HARD Technologies, where he continued his
passion, developing new processes for fluidised bed furnaces. Ray is best known in the
industry for his work with fluidised bed furnaces. There is probably no one in the industry
that knew more about heat treatment in fluidised bed furnaces than Ray – he was known
internationally as the expert in his field. Over the years, he was involved with fluidised bed
furnace technology, including both the manufacture of the equipment and research and
development of new processes. Ray holds many international patents and was a regular
presenter at technical conferences (most recently at Extrusion Technology conference in
Florida in May this year). So passionate was he about fluidised bed furnaces, that he even
wrote a book on the subject and had it published by the ASM. This sudden loss is a great
shock to his family, friends and colleagues around the world. I am sure that everyone in the
industry would wish to pass on their respects and condolences to Ray’s family - his wife
Mavis, their children Mark, Nicola, Emma and Justine and their families and the
grandchildren - Sally, Lauren, Abbie, Xander, Indianna, Oscar, Isabella, Max and Chloe.
Andrew Fitchett, ALS Technologies, Australia 7 July 2012"
All Quiet On the Nickel Front. Nickel pricing which is such an issue with all heat treaters
remains fairly stable and looks as though it will continue in it's current price range. Make
this one issue which heat treaters don't have to worry about at least in the short term. July

Ray Reynoldson. It is with regret that we mention the passing of Ray Reynoldson. To the
comments below I will add that Andrew has not overstated the case-Ray was a fanatic on
fluid bed furnaces and probably knew more about them than anybody in the world. Ray
certainly did not slow down as the years passed, just a couple of months ago we spoke with
Ray about a new idea he was promoting-coatings on furnace alloy components to increase
the life. July 10/2012
1) Kent you and I have met a couple of times over the years but I am
sure our readers would be very interested in knowing how you got
started in the heat treating business?
"As a Chinese born in the 1970’s, along with a period of about 20 years
of rapid developments of China, I’d been driven by the idea of starting
my own business. After graduating from Fudan University Graduate
School in 2000, I was looking for opportunities, until I met Shanghai
Heat Treatment(SHT) at the end of 2005, then bought it out in August
2006. Before buying SHT, I looked into how BODYCOTE bought and
merged companies throughout the world, therefore I set up a vision that
SHT is going to become a first-class commercial heat treatment
company worldwide."
2) So what can you tell us about your company Shanghai Heat
Treatment? I know that you now have several locations in China and
have been growing at a very fast pace but I for one would be interested
in knowing more about the plants, what capabilities they have and what
type of products you typically run.
"SHT has 8 plants in China now and we have a plans to add 2 or 3 new
plants to our list every year for the next 5 years."
www.themonty.com
Heat Treating China. We have all heard about the phenomenal growth in China over the
past few years and we are really pleased to be able to offer you an interview with a fellow
that entered the commercial heat treating market in that country in 2005 and has since
grown his company Shanghai Heat Treatment into a 8 plant location with extremely
ambitious plans for the future. Having been to China several times and having met the
owner of Shanghai Heat Treatment on my most recent visit I have to say that Kent Zhou is
a very intelligent and ambitious fellow who is going to grow the company into a very
substantial heat treat in the years to come. July 9/2012
3) I have been told by various commercial heat treaters in China that the average
commercial shop is doubling in size every two years. Would you agree that this is true or is
this overly optimistic?
Ipsen/Peter Lankes. From Ipsen's website http://www.ipsen.de/en/home/ we have an
interesting story of how Peter Lankes, Chairman of the board recently left the company.
Also of interest is the company's sales in 2011. For our North American readers 166 million
Euro is approximately $203 million USD putting the company probably neck and neck with
new furnace builder Aichelin of Austria in terms of sales. July 9/2012
"Kleve, 11 June 2012: The Ipsen Group, leading global supplier of heat treating systems,
continues its growth story. After a sales increase by 35% to 166 Mio Euro in the past year
2011, the actual business year 2012 shows further growth. Till end of May the Group
reports again considerably increased order bookings, even though the Euro-crisis has
influenced the general economic environment. This growth story will be continued
consequently with a main focus on the international business. At Ipsen International GmbH,
the German Group company, Peter Lankes, so far Chairman of the Board, has left by mutual
consent the company on June 4, 2012 after 20 successful years at Ipsen. Different opinions
about the future strategy of the company were the reason. For the time being, Peter
Fleischmann, the Group's CFO, takes over the functions of Peter Lankes. "We thank Peter
Lankesfor his long-term engagement and his valuable contribution to the success of Ipsen
International GmbH as well as the Ipsen Group and wish him success and personally all the
best for the future" says Dr. Hendrik Grobler, the Chairman of the Ipsen Group. Ipsen has
production facilities in Europe, America and Asia as well as agencies in 34 countries. This

network provides the customers worldwide with an optimal service. Main customer branches
are aviation and automotive industry, mechanical engineering and medical engineering as
well as energy production. In Asia, Ipsen achieves the highest growth rates. In the top
modern Ipsen furnaces' steel and other materials are hardened in different processes to
meet highest requirements in motors, gears and power stations."
Flanged Radiant Tubes. We are always on the lookout for new ideas and one we ran
across recently caught our attention-flanged radiant tubes. Typically most atmosphere heat
treating furnaces use horizontal radiant tubes installed from the back of the furnace, a
design that goes back many years and while the design works well one potential drawback
especially with batch IQ furnaces is room to replace the tubes.
Picture if you will a batch IQ furnace with either U-tubes or Trident
tubes 6' long-obviously the furnace itself must sit at least 6' away
from a wall to allow replacement of the tubes. This is a real waste
of space (by the way AFC-Holcroft went with vertical tubes a
number of years back and while there are other advantages besides
space this is one of the pluses. Other furnace builders have followed suit since that time.)
What we ran across recently are flanged tubes joined by a 1/8" graphite gasket bolted tight
with 316SS hardware with nuts tack welded to ensure they wouldn't work loose. The idea

Edwards Vacuum. We ran across a very competent fellow yesterday, Dave Sobiegray who
bears the illustrious title of Marketing Sector Manager, Industrial Vacuum with Edwards
Vacuum. In the vacuum heat treating world Edwards and their brand name Stokes is
probably the best known name around when it comes to vacuum pumps. With a little
prodding (actually not much) Dave shared some interesting information with us about what
Edwards is up to these days. First off the company has just moved into a brand new 60,000
square foot facility in Niagara Falls, NY, North American Headquarters which will have over
200 employees and will handle sales and service (conceptual drawing below). Second the
company had their best ever sales year in 2011 and 2012 is shaping up to be even better.
Third the company works with every major new vacuum furnace builder in North America
which is no surprise. Dave did want us to point out a couple of things; Stokes is offering a
45% discount on a new vacuum pump with any return of a genuine Stokes unit and that
also the company is geared up for the upcoming FNA show in Nashville and is hoping to
have an operating unit in their booth. As a final point I believe that we convinced Dave to
send us regular tidbits of information about pump maintenance, what type of pump to pickall with no sales pitch attached. July 6/2012
Heat Treatment Australia. Recently we did an interview with Ms. Karen Stanton one of
the owners of commercial heat treat Heat Treatment Australia the results of which are
below. Unfortunately this was not done in Australia-this trip will have to wait for another
day. Karen gives us a good idea about the Australian heat treating market, the obstacles
they face being in a relatively small isolated market and where the business is heading. July
4/2012
1) Karen it is a sign of the times that while you and I have actually done some business
together and have exchanged e-mails many times over the years I have yet to meet you in
person or even speak with you for that matter. So while I know of your company Heat
Treatment Australia I really know almost nothing about your background. How did you
happen to get started in the heat treating field?
"Heat Treatment Australia is a family company started by my father in the early 70s. My
brother, Norm Tucker, and I took over ownership approximately 15 years ago. We are still
very much a family oriented business with other family members and partners working in
the business. Since taking ownership Norm and I have gone from one site in Brisbane to
three sites across Australia, including additional sites Sydney and Melbourne."
2) My impression is that Heat Treatment Australia is the largest commercial in the countryis this impression correct and what can you tell us about the company in terms of
capabilities and size?
"HTA maintains sites in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne with a total staff of approximately
60. We provides services to all geographical areas within Australia as well as Asia & USA."
3) Most people's impression of Australia was probably shaped by Crocodile Dundee all those
years ago (I am dating myself). I realize that this is only a small part of Australia so my
question is how much actual heat treating both captive and commercial is there in the
country? Do any estimates exist about the size of the market in terms of sales/year?
Combined with this how many commercial heat treaters are there in Australia ?
"Heat treating is a relatively small, and rather undefined market in Australia. There are a
total of approximately 25 commercial heat treatment shops across the country. No research
or studies have been undertaken that capture the size of the market or the extent of captive
shops. Essentially we fly blind and need to justify all new investment via our own research
and market knowledge." ...Click Here to Continue

behind this concept is that half of the tubes are installed in the furnace with the other half
bolted on afterwards meaning a lot less space required to replace the tubes. While this is a
relatively low temperature application it appears to be working well. Obviously this is not
the perfect situation but if space is crucial it is an interesting concept. Another possible
bonus is that generally tubes burn up at the end, with this idea it is quite possible that only
part of the tubes would need to be replaced down the road. Installation done by HTSU in
Simpsonville, SC and Ben Audette. July 5/2012

Wisconsin Oven Press Release. "Wisconsin Oven designed and manufactured a gas fired
industrial draw batch oven with a powered load table for a company that repairs and
refurbishes generators and steam or combustion turbines. The draw batch oven is used for
stress relieving stainless steel shafts used in turbines after a welding process. The Wisconsin
Oven stress relieving oven replaced the customer’s previous oven which could not maintain
the required temperature tolerance or required production capacity. The new stress
relieving oven provided a faster heat up rate and increased production capacity along with
tighter temperature tolerances. The heat treating oven has basket dimensions of 5’0” wide x
7’6”high x 5’0” long and a maximum operating temperature of 1400º F. The batch oven was
designed with the capacity to heat 2,000 pounds of steel from 500° to 1300° F within six
(6) hours when the oven is preheated. Wisconsin Oven designed the draw batch oven with a
horizontal sliding door instead of a vertical lift door due to the height restrictions at the
customer’s facility. The powered load/unload table was rated at a capacity of 2,000 pounds.
The stress relieving oven is fabricated with 4” of insulation in a CAN style construction. The
inner shell and ductwork are fabricated with 18 gauge 309 stainless steel. The heating
system features a 750,000 BTU per hour air heat burner including a motorized gas control
valve, flame detector and flame relay with alarm horn. The recirculation system provides
combination air flow and utilizes a 15,000 CFM @ 15 HP blower. The majority of the air is
delivered under the work to flow vertically upward past and through the product to provide
even heating and maximize temperature uniformity. The stress relieving oven has a UL
certified NEMA 12 control enclosure with IEC style motor starters, push buttons, and pilot
lights. The customer required a 9-point temperature uniformity of +/-20° F at 1365° F. The
temperature for the draw batch oven is controlled by a digital West Pro-VU programmable
controller and recorded by a Honeywell DR4300 10” circular chart recorder." July 4/2012
