/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

Client needs often make for the greatest business opportunities. In 1986, the Lyman family ran into one such great opportunity. While the family business was busy building heat treating equipment, one of their clients faced a big need: They wanted a new continuous austempering line, but they were unable to bring it in-house. Seeing the opportunity, the Lymans struck a deal to build the line and place it in a new heat treating company: Eastern Metal Treating (EMT), which to this day remains a commercial heat treater born from making the best of an opportunity.

The opportunity to be a commercial heat treater offering continuous austempering jump-started the company, and it is now their claim to heat treating fame. Today, EMT is the largest-capacity commercial heat treat company able to perform the continuous austempering process in the Northeast. Designed and built by company personnel, the two mesh belt furnace systems have a capacity of 3,000 lbs/hr. Soon, there will be an additional 1,000 lbs/hr available for production as the team is currently refurbishing an existing mesh belt furnace system. Employees perform 95% of all equipment repairs to keep these systems running. During these repairs, a complete inventory of spare parts minimizes downtime to hours and days, rather than weeks or more.

Continuous mesh belt austempering is perfect for medium and high carbon steel stamped parts, making it the bread and butter of the automotive industry. Austempering at this company yields tough parts that are more ductile, less susceptible to distortion, and resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. Not only that, but the process also produces parts that are clean and bright with no scale or oxidation, which leads to minimizing or eliminating downstream processes. In EMT’s early days, the company heat treated large diameter rings used for the automatic transmissions of the Big Three car manufacturers. Bob Lyman notes how amazing it was to drive around knowing almost every car he saw contained parts his family business had contributed to manufacturing.

Today, the Lyman family is still making the best of all the opportunities available to them. Bob’s two sons, Bud and Michael Lyman, are preparing to take over the family business in the future, and the two currently handle plant management and quality assurance. As more business opportunities come their way, EMT is looking forward to taking them on and achieving excellence in quality and service.

MTI Member Profile: Detroit Flame Hardening Co.

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

Detroit Flame Hardening Co. does many things well, but one thing they excel at is flame hardening. In fact, they have built proprietary, only-at-Detroit-Flame post-processes that have truly set them apart as a master of flame hardening.

In general, during the flame hardening process, flames are directed carefully to the surface of a carbon or alloy metal and later quenched. But at this company, processes are a little more specialized. Here, their clients can choose a specific, targeted surface and receive high hardness only in that area. They flame harden using the hottest flames produced from oxygen, propylene, and acetylene (which they generate on site). Doing this successfully requires extensive knowledge of metals, the end application, and what gas to use at what temperature to achieve the correct case depth hardness. The unique process, the result of the more than 80 years of experience housed at the company, reduces the cost of treating the part, process time, and part distortion. To round out this process, the company designed a proprietary quenching method that may include water, oil, air, or synthetics.

The quenching method is not the only process that is highly unique to Detroit Flame Hardening. The company also boasts a specially adapted straightening press and an entire straightening department for flame hardening parts that require a bit of post-process attention to remain within specification. This department can accommodate straightening demands within .015″ TIR and is able to remove difficult “twists.” Additionally, the on-site precision straighteners can work with any cold precision straightening and some hot straightening.

After being hardened with the specialized flame hardening process, quenched with the proprietary quench method, and straightened with exclusively-adapted presses, parts undergo yet another unique Detroit process: a session with the company’s own Detroit Hardness Tester. This portable machine was engineered and manufactured by experts in metallurgy and has been rigorously pre-tested to ensure positive operation and reliable accuracy. The pocket-size design includes a steel ball, precisely weighted and shaped, that is dropped from a specific height to produce an accurate Rockwell C hardness reading. This design has made the Tester highly regarded by plants and machine shops.

Armed with this level of customized expertise, Detroit Flame Hardening has locations in Detroit, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, serving the entire USA with a focus on the automotive, aerospace, and military (as well as other) industries. Known for their cutting-edge solutions and innovations, this fourth-generation family business has delved deeply into the flame hardening process to better serve others.

MTI Member Profile: Stack Metallurgical Group

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

From its roots in Seattle to its facilities across the western United States, Stack Metallurgical Group has built a legacy defined by precision, quality, and innovation. Founded in 1946, the company began with a few repurposed World War II furnaces and a small team dedicated to serving local foundries. Over time, it expanded its capabilities, added new furnace technologies, and became a trusted partner to some of the leading manufacturers in the Northwest.

New Furnace Day! Jeff McLaughlin, Brad Kaufman (Portland Operations Manager), and Dave Ederer (Owner) in front of Stack Metallurgical’s new temper-freezer unit

As the business evolved over the decades, acquisitions and expansions shaped it into the organization known today. In 1982, the Stack Metallurgical Group consolidated in Portland and added multiple vacuum furnaces to increase capacity. A full-service facility followed in Spokane in 1984, and a new site, Aerospace Aluminum Processing, was established in Salt Lake City in 2015. These additions created a broad network capable of meeting the demanding needs of aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing industries.

At its core, the company remains focused on delivering heat treating excellence backed by decades of experience and technological investment. With over 75 years of service, it supports clients producing everything from rocket engines to precision cutlery, maintaining approvals across a comprehensive list of industry standards.

Among its many capabilities, vacuum heat treating stands as the cornerstone of the heat treater’s expertise. This process, essential for alloys such as nickel and titanium, provides unmatched control and consistency — critical qualities for aerospace, power generation, and high-performance tool applications. Complementing vacuum processing are extensive Endothermic heat treating operations for ferrous alloys, enhancing hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, along with aluminum heat treating and anodizing services that strengthen components and improve corrosion resistance.

The company’s facilities house six internal-quench Endothermic furnaces, more than two dozen air furnaces, and over fifteen vacuum furnaces across its Portland and Spokane locations. In Portland and Salt Lake City, aluminum quench and aging furnaces support aerospace and precision manufacturing work, while the Salt Lake site also features an advanced anodizing line and multiple paint booths for finishing applications.

Beyond equipment and technology, the company’s greatest strength lies in its relationships. The organization has long operated with a client-first philosophy, one that views every heat treat job as a collaboration. Every employee takes personal ownership of each component that passes through their care. This approach, built on partnership and dedication, has earned the trust of manufacturers across the industry.

Partnership has long been a defining value, especially with regional tool and knife manufacturers. Working closely with these partners, the team develops specialized processes that enhance product performance, helping create some of the toughest, sharpest, and most consistent tools available today.

Equally vital to the company’s legacy of enduring quality are its people. Many employees have been part of the organization for more than a decade, with several bringing multiple decades of experience. This continuity has fostered a culture of craftsmanship, accountability, and deep technical knowledge, qualities that customers recognize and trust.

Future growth will follow the same guiding principles that have carried the company for generations: hiring exceptional people, investing in new equipment, and expanding capabilities to serve a growing manufacturing base. As U.S. production advances, Stack Metallurgical Group remains committed to helping clients achieve superior results through dependable heat treating and metal processing solutions.

With more than seven decades of proven performance, the company continues to set the standard for precision, quality, and care, proving that craftsmanship, which built on consistency and innovation, never goes out of style.

MTI Member Profile: Contour Hardening

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

If you had to describe Contour Hardening, Inc., in one phrase, it would be: Engineers solving problems. When a client encounters a part failure, this heat treater believes their work has just begun. Founded in 1986 by two engineers (one a metallurgical engineer and one a gear engineer), the company has been solving complex problems with unique, custom designed solutions ever since.

The first problem Contour’s two founding engineers solved was how to handle gears that have such irregular shapes but still need a high degree of case depth and pattern accuracy. What they created is the unique and patented Micropulse™ Process. In the ‘80s, their strategy was to build this advanced, computer-controlled induction heating technology into custom-designed induction hardening machines for OEM manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers. This patented process is a slightly different hardening solution than other available options. Specifically, this process prioritizes keeping the part below the critical temperature zone. Heat times can be controlled to the millisecond, and the time at which the part is above critical temperature can be as low as 0.15 seconds. In addition to this tight temperature control is the ability to use dual frequencies, which provides the custom solution the founding engineers sought after: A heat pattern that precisely contours to the surface of the part.

Equipment — or lack of customized equipment — is another problem to solve on Contour’s list. The company often functions as most commercial heat treaters do, receiving work to process in their on-site equipment. This equipment includes 12 case hardening machines and nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing machines. Custom designed equipment, however, also leaves the company’s Indiana or Mexico facilities and is delivered to clients as needed. This is because the company functions with the motto that pre-designed machines are not always best, and sometimes, you just have to build the machine around the part, not the part around the machine. This motto has led Contour to solve many a client’s failure with a unique, built-to-client-speculation machine, delivered on time.

What is Contour’s next set of problems to solve? In the upcoming years, the company is looking forward to providing solutions to bridge the gap between design constraints and manufacturing feasibility. Unmanned drones and electric vehicles are two of the key players in this area. On a broader scale, the company hopes to find a solution that fits the torque requirements of electric motors, as well as keeps the size of components small. Whatever the next problem may be, this group of engineers and heat treaters is prepared to tackle it.

MTI Member Profile: Euclid Heat Treating

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

Euclid Heat Treating began in 1946 in a single garage with only two types of equipment — salt furnaces and open-fired furnaces. Today, their facilities include several buildings in Ohio which hold numerous types of equipment to serve their automotive, aerospace, and medical clients. Variety is what makes a heat treater stand out, and this expansion from one garage to multiple buildings with diverse equipment began the journey that would make Euclid able to meet industry needs.

At the company, the use of a multitude of process and equipment offerings is motivated by a desire to fulfill the client’s needs. Euclid takes it as a great compliment when clients say, “Oh, you do that, too?” The company can start by normalizing or annealing the client’s bar stock for the part, stress relieve it during the machining process, quench/temper and carburize it, blast it post-heat treatment, and then deliver it back to the client. These various value-adding services (like blasting, straightening, and fixturing flattening blades) have all been set in place in response to client needs that have popped up over the company’s 79 years in business.

Owner John H. Vanas stands next to one of the newest pieces of equipment, an Ipsen vacuum furnace

With this focus on meeting a variety of client needs, having only one method of quenching is not sufficient. This heat treater believes their most important process is not during heating, but what they can provide through their quench fixturing capabilities. Because correct orientation and part support during quenching is paramount for uniformity of the quench and to the dimensional stability of the part, Euclid has a large inventory of fixtures that range from small, slim pins to large, multi-diameter shafts and thick roll bodies. If parts need to be flattened post-heat treatment, the company has an array of draw flattening fixtures for blades, washers, and other flat parts. This number of quenching options is just one more example of the company’s commitment to offering numerous solutions.

A variety of people, with all their different skills and expertise, make these many solutions possible. Euclid prioritizes education for their more than 60 employees. These employees are involved in online training through MTI’s Online Academy, technical training with ASM, and industry training at Heat Treat Today‘s Heat Treat Boot Camp. In addition to these outside educators, the company also sets up company-led cross training and company-sponsored management, safety, and first aid training. This additional training bolsters the knowledge of each employee, adding to their ability to provide a multitude of answers to client questions.

Continuing to diversify equipment is in Euclid Heat Treating’s future. The company plans to install a new vacuum pressure quench and vacuum temper furnace, an air temper furnace, and induction automation, while continually looking for other opportunities to invest in automation. After the equipment installation, the company will focus on a building expansion that will allow for the addition of another integral quench furnace line and prepare them to meet new industry challenges.

MTI Member Profile: Zion Industries, Inc.

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

In a culture that does many things to a mere minimum standard, Bob Puls chose to found Zion Industries, Inc. on the standard of “Glory to God.” Seeking this high standard led the company to a specialization in induction heating, and since 1978, they have been building their knowledge on this topic. Today, the company’s expertise is demonstrated in the unique, customized services that benefit their own team as well as clients like Ford and Honda.

Zion’s ZSCAN induction scanner outfitted with full-service controls

Specialized, in-house induction equipment is one of the most interesting aspects of Zion Industries’ story. Across their three locations in Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina, they have a combined total of over 30 induction machines (capable of frequencies from 3 Khz to 450 Khz and power levels from 30 Kwatts to 300 Kwatts) that were designed and built in-house. Supplementing these 30 unique machines is equipment for tempering and metallurgical inspection of all the heat treated products. The impact of this equipment is enhanced by the commitment to making their own tooling in-house, which decreased time and cost of the induction projects.

The company demonstrated their ability to create specialized solutions in-house when hardening safety critical, automotive industry parts. One instance of this was when Zion supplied latch striker parts that required a specific center case depth. This project was complicated by the fact that the part had a longer end geometry. To address this complication, the company created a completely unique, clamshell induction coil. The customization, however, did not end there. They also integrated the coil with fixtures that allowed for quenching and for sorting out suspect parts, all in the same operation.

The company offers personalized consulting services at their three locations. One aspect of these consulting services is training seminars that discuss the benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing induction heat treating versus bringing it in-house. Using the technical expertise of their 100+ employees, the company helps clients develop technology they may not currently have, but that may significantly benefit operations. The primary goal of offering consulting is to build a unique service around the client’s unique problems, rather than offering a one size-fits-all solution.

In the future, the company seeks to bring their customized, built-in-house induction equipment to new geographical markets. They will continue to upgrade their equipment and hope to integrate automation and robotics into their facilities. As Zion Industries spreads to new markets and grows internal operations, their success will continue because of their fixed focus: specialized induction heat treating.

MTI Member Profile: East Carolina Metal Treating, Inc.

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

In the North American heat treating industry, potential comes in many forms, and learning to utilize it is what can change the industry from mediocre to extraordinary. East Carolina Metal Treating, a North Carolina heat treater, has embraced the potential in their past and present heat treat equipment, new digital technologies, and their irreplaceable, diverse employees to unlock their status as a stand-out heat treater.

East Carolina Metal Treating facility in North Carolina

Since 1976 when they boasted only a single salt pot, East Carolina Metal Treating has increased the range of their heat treating equipment significantly. Today, the company has three cryogenic units (36 x 36 x 48 inches), five atmosphere furnaces (36 x 36 x 48 inches), and four inductions units — to name just a few. This array of equipment has enabled the company to serve a wide range of industries (including the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries) with quality service and a fast turnaround time with offerings including a metallurgical hardness testing lab.   

Embracing all the potential modern equipment brings requires new monitoring and documentation technology. This new technology, in turn, provides additional potential for continual improvement. Integral to this improvement is Bluestreak, a provider of management solutions, which provides the company with a secure, organized place to process furnace charts, customer documents, and much more. Embracing this particular technology helps the company to achieve a high level of customization in their heat treating processes as no one process is the same.

Virginia Metal Treating, Inc.

This modern equipment and new technology would be a dead end were it not for a trained team to use and apply it. Because of this, East Carolina Metal Treating makes it a high priority to utilize the potential of their team. The company believes each team member brings a different perspective on how to approach the complex problems that arise in heat treating, from the production line to the accounting department. Unlocking the potential of this 95-person team has yielded a reputation for providing quality service and a strong customer base.  

Harnessing the potential of equipment, technology, and people creates an even brighter future for East Carolina Metal Treating. In the next five to ten years, they plan to expand their range of equipment by adding aluminum quenching equipment. This will require an increase in the team’s technological capabilities, which they will address by training the 3rd generation of owner/operators, adding 20,000 square feet to their new facility in Lynchburg, VA, and creating a third facility in the southeast/mid-Atlantic region. With this ability to embrace a diverse team and new heat treat technologies, East Carolina Metal Treating is excited for a bright future.

Ohio Metallurgical

/ MTI MEMBER PROFILES

In 1947, amidst a global war that touched every corner of the world, a small heat treat company emerged to serve the thriving and diverse manufacturing market of northeast Ohio. That company, Ohio Metallurgical (Ohiomet), was started by William Latiano and Frank Monaco with only a few salt pots in Lorain, but grew into a larger plant in Elyria, adding vacuum, shaker, and integral quench furnaces. Years later in 1977, Don Gaydosh, who was the general manager at the time, purchased 70% of the company, along with fellow employee Jerry Pragg. In 1990, John Gaydosh followed in his father’s footsteps and is the current president and owner.

The company has now grown to include 78 employees who are trained in four core values: Be client focused, be dependable, do business with integrity, and always be improving.

One way they accomplish their first value is by scheduling production based on the client’s need. In order to be dependable and operate safely, efficiently, and with high quality, the company invests in new equipment and controls. Since 1990, almost all equipment has been replaced completely, though a few older furnaces are still in use but with upgraded, modern controls.

To implement their fourth value of always improving, Ohiomet regularly updates its control systems to reduce operator errors and increase accuracy. Using an in-house customized SCADA software package, they monitor furnaces in real-time, so the operators and supervisors can be notified if process parameters are outside of preset parameters.

With their updated equipment and software, the company serves the automotive, aerospace, military, and mining industries, and more. While the integral quench lines containing 12 IQ furnaces make up the largest part of their business, they also offer multiple types of processes and services from one location. In addition to their IQ lines, they have vacuum furnaces capable of 2-bar nitrogen gas quench, bright age hardening, tempering, and annealing, all of which are qualified to meet AMS2759 specifications and are Nadcap accredited.

In addition to these processes, Ohiomet has both automatic and manual straightening equipment, induction equipment with various frequencies for use on vertical and horizontal scanners, and bell furnaces performing atmosphere annealing and stress relieving. A Nadcap accredited, modern quality control laboratory contains multiple automated microhardness testers along with a metallograph with digital imaging capabilities.

The company was founded in 1941 to accommodate the gear industry’s metal-treating needs in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area. By 1950, they had diversified and moved to 5701 Mariemont Avenue in Cincinnati. Now, after two major expansions, the 45,000 square-foot facility provides heat treating services nationwide. Some of these heat treat services include: carbonitriding, FNC, sub-zero metal treating, and tool steel processing. The dimensional capacities of their furnaces accommodate large loads of smaller parts as well as parts too large for most furnaces. For example, their pit furnace vertically processes parts up to 120” to prevent warpage, and the max capacity of their car bottom and nitriding furnaces is 8’ x 17’ x 6’ and 57” x 107” respectively.

In addition to their heat treatment services, CST also provides metallurgical lab testing services and failure analysis for both in-house and outside treated parts. A fully equipped metallurgical laboratory includes a metallurgical cutoff saw, metallographs, microscopes, stereoscopic equipment, and more. The lab includes capabilities for macro-etching, quench oil testing, and other chemical testing for metallic parts. Some applications of metallurgical analysis include tool steel industrial knives, highly alloyed rolling mill rolls, flat-rolled carbon sheet steel products, and carburized and hardened gears. With experience analyzing various types of materials, such as stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, and cast iron, the company’s lab analysis has saved CST’s clients thousands of dollars, both by helping them to improve their processes and determining the root cause of a failed component.

Cincinnati Steel Treating is proud of the difference that it has made in terms of the parts it has heat treated over the years. Two specific jobs stand out; first, heat treating the armor plating of the military’s Humvee for combat. The client emphasized that the job was an integral part of saving lives, and the company saw letters from soldiers and their families expressing their gratitude.

The second job was solution treating and aging an aluminum mounting bracket for the external booster rockets affixed to a space shuttle for NASA. These parts were designed to withstand being jettisoned from the space shuttle (with the external booster rockets) once the rockets’ fuel depleted. Made of aluminum, the components could more easily disintegrate during re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere. CST even purchased a high-speed crane and affixed it to the bridge of their existing overhead crane to maintain the desired quench delay time specific in the military specifications for aluminum. This program ceased when the space shuttle program ended, but the high-speed crane is still used for jobs requiring specific quench delays.

Plans for the future are looking bright as Cincinnati Steel Treating rounded out 2022 with the Master Craftsman Award for Commercial Heat Treater of the Year. At the beginning of 2023, CST added a new IQ furnace and continues to increase capacity and capabilities as needed.
