Mechanics for Heat Treatment: Aluminum Practices
This module will identify why aluminum metalcasting facilities heat treat castings. This module will look at the various operational costs, furnace maintenance, how to select a heat treatment furnace, and how to selection various quenching media at a facility. By the end of this module, you will be able to identify direct costs in aluminum heat treating, explain the impact of maintenance on operating cost, describe the characteristics of various furnaces and ovens, explain the purpose of rigidity in heat treatment basket design, state the different quenching media, and describe the different types of quenching.
