Recently the "Monty Heat Treat News" has had several articles pointing out that while heat treating investments in the automotive, heavy industry and "general" industries continues to languish, furnace investments in the Aerospace, Defense and Energy markets continues to "boom".

A very good example of this can be found in this July 14th, 2026 press release from heat treating giant "Bodycote"; "European Heat Treatment Investments include "HIP"".

Now we have yet another example; The "Bodycote" location in Roselle, NJ, USA has just completed installation of an "Ipsen Titan" vacuum furnace which will be used to service the aerospace industry. The furnace is a "Titan H6" with a diffusion pump and all-metal hot zone which gives them the ability to process high nickel and titanium alloys. This furnace will compliment the 4 VFS vacuum furnaces the facility already has-3 of these furnaces have high pressure gas quenching, 6 & 10 Bar.
