Depending on where you live, “green” started to appear outside in March.

Contact us with your Reader Feedback!

Such was the case this March with Heat Treat Today. Our efforts were “greening up” around here as well. With the push for sustainability and environmental corporate responsibility, we decided to start the industry’s first and only “green” heat treat annual magazine edition and quarterly e newsletter. The Heat Treat Today team has been working on these items for several months now, but we are officially announcing them this month and encouraging you to watch for them both in May.

Whether you’ve been mandated to make your in-house heat treat operation more sustainable, or you want to do it simply because it’s the right thing to do, we’re here to help.

NEW Green Technologies in Heat Treat Annual Print Edition

Heat Treat Today's May print magazine will be the inaugural yearly focus on Green Technologies in North American heat treat. We’ll have articles and special editorial sections focused on sustainable technologies currently or soon-to-be available in the North American heat treat industry. This highly-focused issue will give industry suppliers a chance to shout loud and far about the technologies they have that will help you make your in-house heat treat operation more sustainable and productive. We anticipate topics such as:

  • Induction heating equipment
  • Electrical furnaces and ovens, including vacuum furnaces
  • High-efficiency gas-fired equipment
  • High-efficiency burners
  • Efficiency-maximizing control systems
  • Energy-saving insulating materials
  • Emission control or capture
  • Eco-friendly quench media
  •  Economizing cooling systems
  • Industrial gas economizing systems
  • High-efficiency radiant tubes
  • High-efficiency heating elements

Potentially, there will be many other topics added to this list. There should be something for everyone who is interested in making their in-house heat treat operations, or commercial heat treat shop, more sustainable. I hope you look forward to receiving your copy and enjoying the content . . . in May!

NEW Quarterly Heat Treat Green E-Newsletter

Sustainable technologies come into the market more than once a year, so, Heat Treat Today is launching a new quarterly e-newsletter this May that focuses on sustainable heat treat technologies for the North American marketplace. This e-newsletter, aptly named Heat Treat Green, will also focus on emerging and currently available sustainable technologies and products that will help your heat treat operations reduce environmental waste in a responsible manner. We anticipate that this e-newsletter will be deployed in the months of February, May, August, and November each year.

Do You Have a Green Story To Tell?

In both the annual magazine edition and the quarterly e-newsletter, we’d be interested in publishing your in-house heat treat sustainability story if you have one to tell. Our readers benefit from hearing what other manufacturers are doing to make their heat treat operations more sustainable. Many chief compliance officers or others in your organization responsible for promoting sustainable practices are typically quite interested in telling their sustainability stories. If that’s you or your company, we’d like to help you get the word out to the North American heat treat industry. Please contact our editors at editor@heattreattoday.com, and we’ll be sure to be in touch

Finally, if you’re a supplier to the North American heat treat industry and your product has a sustainability story to tell, you also should contact our editors: editor@heattreattoday.com.

Keep your eyes peeled for Heat Treat Green!
