Thank you for your patience.  This Blog is back and I hope you will find it beneficial!

Purchasing of Heat Treatment

Here is something you can really use.  I recently had the privilege to co-author an article for Great Technology Magazine.  The article (check it out here) is an effort to “provide the crucial questions you need to ask gear heat treaters” if you are a buyer.

Justin Lefevre of Joyworks Studio and Dr. Kathy Hayrynen of Applied Process did most of the heavy lifting.  I hope you like it!

More Purchasing of Heat Treatment

AP is hosting the second annual “AP UNIVERSITY SEMINAR ON PURCHASING OF FERROUS HEAT TREATMENT” seminar on Wednesday, September 23, 2015, in Livonia.

This is not a class on the glory of austempering (although it is, indeed, glorious).  Rather, it is a non-commercial effort to train Purchasing professionals on how to get what they ordered and how to get the best deal for a variety of types of heat treatment.

AP has invited some very knowledgeable heat treat professionals to give presentations at the event.  It will cover these topics:

·         Heat Treat Fundamentals for the Non-Metallurgist (Dr. Kathy Hayrynen, Applied Process, Inc.)

·         Purchasing of Austempering and Marquenching (John Keough, Applied Process, Inc.)

·         Purchasing of Induction Hardening (Brian Jacobs, AjaxTOCCO Magnethermic)

·         Lunch and tour of AP

·         Purchasing of Quench & Temper, Carburizing, and Carbonitriding (Kelly Brummett, Operations Manager, Specialty Steel Treating, Inc.)

·         Purchasing Normalizing, Annealing, and Stress Relieving (Jim Mikoda, Bluewater Thermal Solutions)

There is no charge to attend.  Contact AP’s Cindy Duman at +1-734-464-8000 for more information.
