Heat Treatment

Stahl Specialty has 28 bottom-drop solution heat treatment furnaces and supporting artificial aging ovens. Our uniquely in-house designs bottom-drop furnaces allow the castings to move from the furnace to the quench tank in under seven seconds compared to the industry mil standards of 30 seconds. This reduced heat-to-quench time and the development of custom heat treat parameters allows us to exceed the industries ‘book’ values providing you with the highest mechanical properties for your castings.

The mechanical properties can be improved through the casting design and the proprietary process of our heat treatment facilities. The properties listed are standards from the Aluminum Association. Mechanical property improvements can be established upon review of the casting design.
