St. Marys Foundry Installing New Heat Treat Oven St. Marys Foundry Inc., St. Marys,
Ohio, is in the process of installing in- house heat treat capacity that it hopes to have online by mid-December. According to Vice President Opera-
tions Terry Lenhart, the ferrous metal- casting company heat treats about 80% of its castings and began to consider performing some of the work in-house in February. “We decided it was a good thing to
have more of the operation under our roof because we’d have more control and knock about three days off [of our turnaround times],” Lenhart said. The company signed the purchase
order for the new oven in early July. St. Marys expects to be able to heat treat between 60-70% of its castings in the 174 x 182-ft. oven, with an eventual goal of performing 100% of the services in-house. St. Marys is a nobake gray and
ductile iron shop pouring castings from 500-60,000 lbs. for the air and
