Advancements in Heat Treatment Solutions and Low-emission Requirements

Published: May 2023

The global automotive heat treatment market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Heat treatment plays a critical role in enhancing the properties of lightweight materials such as aluminum, magnesium, and others, making components durable and resistant to wear and tear. The growth of the automotive heat treatment market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for safe, fuel-efficient, and low-emission vehicles that can improve overall efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of vehicles. Market players are investing in R&D activities to develop new heat treatment technologies and expand their production capacities to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry. For instance, in October 2020, ECM Technologies released new oil quenching furnace system, a safe and efficient heat treatment system that replaced its sealed quench (SQ) or integral quench (IQ) style furnace. The system offers cleaner, safer, and greater performance in comparison to traditional SQ or IQ furnaces. The ECO furnace is an electrically heated system, enabling a greater than 80% reduction in CO2 emissions. It also allows for higher temperatures, thereby enabling increased productivity through greater thought. It allows captive and commercial heat treaters to extend their life and expand the capabilities of their existing sealed quench or integral quench furnace lines.

Furthermore, automakers are adopting new materials and advanced manufacturing processes for heat treatment. To cater for such needs, stakeholders have been collaborating to provide new and enhanced solutions to remain competitive in the market. For instance, in July 2022, AddUp, partnered with ECM Group, to develop thermal treatment solutions for additively manufactured parts. The collaboration leads to a development program to define the appropriate specifications for heat treatment solutions adapted to additive manufacturing applications. The ECM Group will design and industrialize a suitable vacuum furnace system according to the specifications defined during this joint development program.
