Heat treatments
All-around production
Forgialluminio is able to carry out the entire production cycle at its plant, including heat and surface treatments.
After forging, the components undergo Solubilization, Hardening and Artificial Aging treatment.
Solubilization and Hardening
Solubilization is a treatment that is carried out at temperatures between 450°C and 575°C and allows all alloying elements to be sent into solution.
This condition is then crystallized by rapid cooling called Tempering.
Aging
The next stage of Aging consists of precipitation hardening of the alloying constituents, which can take place: at room temperature (physical state T4) in a oven (physical state T6).
This process gives the products the most appropriate physical and mechanical properties for subsequent uses.
Compliance with standards
All heat treatments of Forgialluminio are carried out in a plant that complies with SAE-AMS, MIL and UNI standards, through processes chosen according to the needs of the component and its different fields of application.
Forgialluminio has been producing hot forgings in different hard aluminum alloys for more than 60 years. We are the partners of some of the most relevant Italian and international companies, providing complete support in the different stages of development of the forged component. We make a project concrete by combining skills with high-level machinery, equipment and instruments.
