Our advanced heat treatment processes bring out the best in aluminium, delivering the right balance of strength, formability and long-term reliability for diverse applications.
Builds strength through controlled precipitation.
Ageing is a controlled heat treatment process performed at specific temperatures to develop the desired mechanical properties, hardness and temper condition in aluminium alloys.
Dissolves unwanted phases for better properties.
The aluminium is heated to a high temperature to dissolve soluble phases and create a homogeneous solid solution, followed by rapid quenching to retain the desired structure.
Restores softness and relieves stress.
Annealing is a heat treatment process where the material is heated to a specific temperature and then cooled slowly. It reduces internal stresses, improves ductility and enhances workability.
Tailored treatments for unique requirements.
We offer customised heat treatment cycles such as retrogression and re-ageing (RRA), over-ageing and multi-step cycles to meet specific customer needs and complex alloy requirements.
Advanced heat treatmentStronger aluminium. A brighter future.
Mechanical property verification is standard for all heat-treated lots. A tensile specimen is machined from a representative profile from each ageing charge. Tensile strength, yield strength (Rp0.2), and elongation are measured and recorded. Brinell hardness is measured as a process check.
