Heat Treatment

The adjustment of material properties through targeted heat treatment (T4 to T6) and the permanent joining of components through advanced joining techniques such as friction stir welding and gluing are essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of our products.

Our service portfolio naturally includes high-quality heat treatments for aluminum die-cast parts. Our specialized services encompass the heat treatments T4, T5, and T6, each aimed at optimizing the mechanical properties and durability of your cast parts.

Heat Treatment T4

This treatment involves solution heat treatment followed by cooling. It improves ductility and enables a uniform structuring of the material, creating an ideal basis for further processing.

Heat Treatment T5

The T5 treatment, which includes rapid cooling after casting followed by artificial aging, achieves increased strength and hardness. This is particularly beneficial for components that are subject to immediate mechanical stress.

Heat Treatment T6

The T6 treatment involves solution heat treatment, quenching, and a final artificial aging. This process offers the highest strength and hardness and is ideal for components used under extreme conditions.
