Оборудование для термообработки алюминия и стали

After casting, multi-stage heat treatment is often necessary. For processes such as the T6 heat treatment of aluminum (solution annealing, quenching and ageing) or the hardening of steel, quenching and tempering plants are used. Due to the design consisting of one or more furnaces in combination with a quenching tank or a cooling station, the quenching and tempering process can be carried out manually, semi-automatically or even fully automatically. 

General Properties

• Multi-stage heat treatment of aluminum alloys and steel
• Manual, semi-automated or even fully automated
• Concepts for horizontal or vertical movement of the charge
• Quenching delay times from start of door opening of only 5 seconds possible
• Standard sizes and customized solutions available
• Process data acquisition and consideration of common automotive and aerospace standards such as CQI-9, AMS2750G

Horizontal Quenching and Tempering Plants

In horizontal quenching and tempering plants, the quench tank is positioned in front of the chamber furnace. The charge is transferred horizontally into the furnace by a 2-axis manipulator and, after heat treatment, is removed hot and quenched. As the movement technology in this plant concept is only in the hot furnace chamber for a short time, temperatures of up to 1300 °C are possible.

Drop-Bottom Furnace Plants

Drop-bottom furnaces are used for solution annealing and subsequent rapid quenching of aluminum alloys. Especially for thin-walled aluminum components, quenching delay times of only 5 seconds from the start of door opening to complete immersion in the quenching bath can be realized.

Customized Solutions

The modular design of our systems enables a wide range of design options for the plant and, with appropriate planning, also the possibility of later expansion.
