Hardly a moment passed without a visitor interacting with the UPC team during the 18th International Heat Treatment Exhibition in Beijing, China. The three action-packed days also included a highly focused conference program highlighting innovations that reduce cost, increase productivity and maximize efficiency. This year, UPC debuted the Atmosphere Engineering™ brand of flow and atmosphere
At the 3rd Continuous Furnace Training Symposium held in Monterrey, Mexico on November 7-8, 2017, Eric Jossart, Director of Sales – Heat Treat, discussed furnace and generator controls, compliance challenges, and the solutions to future proof controls and keep pace with CQI-9 and other industry standards. Thank you to the event organizer Abbott Furnace Company
UPC Pro is your go-to app for calculations relating to alloy factor, carbon/oxygen, endo generator, nitriding, nitrogen-methanol, resistance thermometers, shim test, thermocouple conversion, Waukee Flo-meter, and more. The app is intended to serve as a reference in the course of a heat treater’s daily work, whether developing heat treat recipes or corroborating process data. Carbon/Oxygen
Nitrex Metal successfully installed and commissioned an NX-1230 potential-controlled nitriding system for processing automotive springs. The customer, Daewon Corp., based in Korea, is a high volume automotive parts manufacturer supplying global automakers such as Hyundai, Kia Motors, GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and many others.

An American-based manufacturer of axle gears and repeat customer of United Process Controls Inc. (UPC) opted for hardware and software enhancements to their existing heat treat cell and automation, when migration of legacy controls was not economically feasible. Among the problems with the outdated PLCs were limitations in recipe analysis and diagnostics, database capabilities, and
Many interesting articles have been written about the differences between Gas and Plasma (Ion) nitriding, and how these technologies have greatly improved over the years and surmounted many of the problems encountered in the past. Today, they are complementary in many ways, but neither is the solution for everything. One has to weigh the benefits
Thermotec, Asia’s most influential exhibition for industrial furnaces, thermal technology, equipment and materials, opens to visitors on Wednesday, July 19 until Friday, July 21.
