At
Danko Arlington, we are proud to offer in-house heat treating
to our customers. For high stress applications, aluminum castings
must be subjected to special heat treatments to increase the
metal's strength. |
 |
|
Our heat treaters provide special attention to the process
time and temperatures unique to each alloy. The most common
heat treat for aluminum is a T6 temper which involves a quench.
|
 A
side effect of quenching, however, is twist and distortion.
To move the castings back into shape after quench, we have talented
craftsmen who use mallets, rulers, and hydraulic presses to
get the job done quickly. If necessary, our Machine Division
will fabricate custom-engineered metal fixtures to help in the
straightening process. |
|
Over the years, we have pioneered data and made recommendations
to the government engineers who developed the heat treat standards.
When it comes to difficult castings, our team has the knowledge
and experience to achieve the highest material properties
possible.
