| Heat Treatment Industry |
 Metal heat treatment processing is a technique for adding characteristics (strength, hardness, elongation, abrasion resistance, and fatigue resistance) necessary for metal by heating and cooling metal materials or metal parts. The metal heat treatment industry is related to every type of industrial sector and indispensable especially in the materials process technology industry. The heat treatment processing industry has a subcontracted production system of receiving materials and parts from automobile and machine manufacturers and heat treating and delivering them. The changing use of materials and the cold wind of global competition from developing countries have made traditional heat treatment, plating and other technologies relatively uncompetitive. Nevertheless, the businesses that anticipate the needs of the market by capitalising on user education, process design and minimising costs by efficient processing are the ones gaining market share. Today, heat treatment is a mature business, designing systems to meet engineering specifications, working closely with platers, hard coaters and other parts of surface engineering to reduce total life costs and enhance performance. Like every other business it also has to adopt new methods, reduce operating costs and reduce its environmental impact. Yesterday’s engineers selected the material and, if it didn’t perform, they modified it. Today’s engineers should be selecting the material as the first building block in a system that combines structural strength, flexibility, surface hardness and lubricity, to meet the specification, as well as being cost-effective and reliably meeting the lifetime requirements. A tall order, but one that can be achieved by using the skills of the heat treater, the coater, and the ion implanter if, and only if, they are all considered as part of one system designed to satisfy the customer. Heat treatment processing businesses have transactions with every industry such as automobile, machine tool, and industrial machinery and have many customers. Even small companies usually have more than 100 customers. The percentage of customers in terms of production is as follows: transport machinery: 47%; general machinery: 30%; precision and electric machinery: 13%; and other metal products: 10%. There is also a strong tendency that low sales per customer contribute to high payback costs. These conditions seem to prevent the growth and improvement of company scale. |
