Restorative heat treatment optimises strength properties of machined aluminium

Products machined from large solid blocks of aluminium often suffer with reduced strength properties, potentially leading to catastrophic failure during service.  Alloy Heat Treatment (AHT), the UK’s leading subcontractor in heat treating aluminium, provides for restoration of optimum strength properties to proof machined products using re-heat treatment, inspection, testing and release to the required temper.AHT has the capacity to heat treat automotive and aircraft products up to 2.5m x 2m x 1.9m and 5 tonnes gross weight in its state-of-the-art drop bottom facility, located at its 70,
