Aluminum Solution Heat Treat and Aging Furnace Systems
New! |
Aluminum Solution Heat Treat and Aging Furnace Systems are designed for solution heat treat, solution annealing, precipitation hardening, artificial aging, age hardening and preheat processes for aluminum castings, forgings, extrusions and plate.
We offer furnace configurations to suit every type of production environment including roller hearth, tower furnaces, cast link conveyors, pusher furnaces and batch systems.
This year, the Aluminum Group will present on-site seminars for small groups on request. This seminar contains useful information for achieving maximum efficiencies for both new and used equipment. Call 814/332-8430, or e-mail Jack Mahoney for more information.

Common Solution Heat Treat Process Definitions |
Process Definitions courtesy of ASM International :
Solution Heat Treatment is heating an alloy to a suitable temperature, holding at that temperature long enough to cause one or more constituents to enter into solid solution, and then cooling rapidly enough to hold these constituents in solution. Precipitation Hardening is hardening caused by the precipitation of a constituent from a supersaturated solid solution. Aging is a change in the properties of certain metals and alloys that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after hot working or a heat treatment or after a cold working operation. The change in properties is often, but not always, due to a phase change (precipitation), but never involves a change in chemical composition of the metal or alloy. Artificial aging is aging above room temperature. |
