The Internet offers you a path to the world.

John 3:16 can offer you a path to a heavenly home for eternity.

It's a eternal life link worth checking out!

 

If you don't know Jesus personally, and want to know more, just ask and we'll AIM you in the right direction. There are lots of people who say He doesn't live because they never took the time to really see. Can you afford to miss out on heaven by not looking for yourself? It cost nothing but is worth more than you'll ever know.

Price: $38.95 + $4.05 S&H

This book is written in non-metallurgical terms so that anyone who reads it will grasp what is needed to be able to heat treat ferrous metals properly. It takes the reader step by step through all of the most popular steel grades.  It will correct bad habits and teaches how to get consistent results for each application.  Now anyone can choose the right steel to do the job on any application. 

“Heat Treatment, Selection And Application of Tool Steels” book

Price: $36.95 + $4.05 S&H

Learn what this new science can do for your company.  How it’s done, Why it’s done, and What it does are all explained in layman’s terms.  Learn how to double or triple the life of tools including carbide.  Learn what this does for non-discoloration stress relief.  Understand the things that work with the correct process and also understand what not to do. 

“CRYOGENICS” book

HERE IS WHAT ADVISOR IN METALS OFFERS

Heat Treating Seminars

Price: As little as $40/ person plus travel. We’d be glad to quote you. See SEMINAR INFO.

We conduct, on-site, training seminars designed specifically for your applications. We walk you through the process, step-by-step, to handle the most difficult metal you treat in layman’s terms so there is no chance of confusion.  We also provide a hard copy review of your heat treating facilities and offer suggestions to improve.

Price: Based on travel distance. We’d be glad to quote you.

We walk you through the basics of heat treating so you’ll understand where most of the problems solved by cryogenics begin.   We go through the RIGHT process step-by-step and end a lot of the myths that have been propagated by un-educated do-gooders.  When done, you’ll understand the process and the reason it works.

CRYOGENIC Seminars

IMPROVED 2nd Edition released in 2005

HEAT TREATING is not a mystical art, or a hit and miss proposition.

 

Heat treating is 100% controllable, and predictable, as long as the rules are kept for each grade of metal.

 

The formulae to success is simple:

 1. follow the recipe, 2. make sure the equipment is set up right,

3. follow the recipe, and do everything at the proper time.

Do that and you can’t avoid success.

Text Box: HEAT TREAT BOOK DETAIL

"Heat Treatment, Selection, and Application of TOOL STEELS"

 

 Following is a brief outline of just a portion of the subjects covered in this book and video.  Our seminars follow the same basic outline but none of our seminars are the same.  We gear each seminar to the products and types of steels used that we are speaking to.  If you or your workers don’t come out of a seminar knowing heat treating, its because they had their hearing aid turned off.   These presentations are packed with years of knowledge and ASM approved methods to save you and your company money and time.  

 

 

WHAT IS STEEL?

It's important to grasp the basics of what steel is and what makes it react to time and temperature in order to obtain transformation. A close look at elements and what the chemical composition of AISI grades mean to the lay person.

EXACTLY WHAT IS HEAT TREATMENT DOING

Every thing you touch, see, taste, smell or think about, was manufactured, or produced in some method that has been touched by heat treated tool steel in its journey to you.

Simple tool design practices that can save you time and money.

1. Excessive stress eliminated.

EVERY APPLICATION IS DIFFERENT AND MUST STAND ON ITS OWN. THEREFORE, WORKING TOOLS MUST BE DESIGNED TO MEET EACH APPLICATION ON ITS OWN TERMS .

2. Allowing proper clearances. Learn how to tell if there is danger to a tool in working operation by reading these edges.

TOOL STEEL SELECTION

Is there a perfect grade for every application? Probably not, but this easy to understand aid will give you a nearly fool proof system to chose the best potential one. It will also reinforce your correct selections.

The one point that needs emphasis is this: If you have a tool steel used for an application that repeatedly fails, do not automatically change grades until you answer these questions.

1.  Was the application designed correctly, or are there ways to improve the design?

2.  Was the heat treatment done correctly and was the equipment calibrated correctly?

3.  Was the proper maintenance done on the tool?

4.  Was the failure caused by using the tool correctly?

5.  If it appears there is a better choice of steel grade, does it meet the application priorities?

GENERAL INFORMATION

This book has been purchased by companies and individuals from all over the world.  By the guy who does the heat treating to graduate metallurgist. Because the book is written in layman’s language, and avoids metallurgical mumbo-jumbo, we have received countless telephone calls and letters of thanks from people who have read the book and gained a better appreciation of the heat treating process. It is common to see repeat orders from customers for copies to be given to friends, co-workers or family members. We have received many specific questions about processes not covered in the book and always try to help those in need. If we don't know, we try to steer to those who do. If you have a question, we may be able to help. Leave us an e-mail message and we will do our best to offer you a suggestion.
