INTRODUCTION

____________________________________

"The Monty" September, 2019. As a Canadian I tend to have a real dislike of the arrival of September as it means the end of summer and the beginning of a long period of rain, cold and snow. However on the other side of the coin the fall brings the arrival of heat treat trade shows which we always look forward to. Granted some people might not share our enthusiasm for trade shows but if you truly like heat treating there is no better way to gauge the mood of the industry, meet customers, and potential customers and one of our favorites-sharing a beer with competitors. This fall brings shows in Moscow, Russia in September, Detroit, USA in October and Cologne, Germany the week after, we will be at all 3 of these and look forward to seeing you there. As always we look forward to your thoughts and comments.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this issue, Gord, Jordan and Dale Montgomery.

Has Anybody Seen This Furnace? Aug 29, 2019 We have now run across this furnace several times. It is a big Abar Ipsen horizontal vacuum furnace 66/72 built in 2000 and used in an aerospace facility in the Carolinas in the US. We have nothing to do with the selling of this furnace but it is certainly becoming famous because of the marketing campaign behind it.

Hydro Plant In Poland Installs Nitrex System Aug 29, 2019 We found the last sentence of this news item quite interesting; "Today, the company operates over twenty Nitrex nitriding systems in seventeen countries including Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, UK, and USA."Quite something to have a customer who has bought over 20 systems from you over 20 years-we can probably very safely say that they really like the product. "The Hydro plant in Trzcianka, Poland uses Nitreg? controlled nitriding to address the need for improved process performance and more accurate control of nitriding results. Hydro is the world's leading supplier of value-added aluminum profiles solutions. The Nitrex N-EXT 812 nitriding system replaces a decommissioned nitrider that was phased out several years ago due to extrusion die failures and inconsistent metallurgical results. The delivered solution includes Nitreg? technology that helps to optimize parameters for maximum efficiency and quality, increasing die strength and extrusion throughput, while reducing the possibility of potential die failures. Moreover, Nitreg? contributes to cost savings from reduced consumption of process gases and energy savings from shorter process times. The N-EXT type furnace has overall chamber dimensions of 31.5" diameter by 47.25" high (800 x 1200 mm) with a capacity to nitride a 2200 lbs (1000 kg) load. Since the start of operations with the new nitriding installation, treated samples are periodically assessed by an external QA service to check and validate the nitride quality, specification compliance, and reliability of the Nitreg? process. As part of this testing program, Nitreg? results are consistently in compliance with Hydro's quality standard. The extrusions business of Hydro Extruded Solutions manufactures extruded aluminum profiles and fully fabricated components for applications ranging from residential to industrial and commercial. Since 1999, Nitrex Metal has been building a lifelong customer relationship with Hydro. Today, the company operates over twenty Nitrex nitriding systems in seventeen countries including Argentina,
