VertiQuench® Drop Bottom Furnaces provide an affordable solution for demanding automotive and aerospace applications in aluminum solution heat treatment and aging. This innovative NADCAP compliant technology enables very fast full-load immersion in as little as 5 seconds. VertiQuench® Drop Bottom Furnaces provide an affordable solution for demanding automotive and aerospace applications in aluminum solution heat treatment and aging. This innovative NADCAP compliant technology enables very fast and full load immersion, as short as 5 seconds. As the VertiQuench® name implies, the process provides vertical quenching. The heat-treated material is dropped into water or polymer quenching tanks located directly under the furnace. VertiQuench® provides solution heat treatment followed by quenching and artificial aging for precipitation hardening of products. The furnaces can be supplied in one complete system conforming to AMS standarts, NADCAP certification, and meeting those tight requirements in terms of temperature uniformity, restrictions for processing time in each step, and all other parameters. VertiQuench® provides an optimal heat treatment technology for aluminum alloy extruded and drawn porthole or seamless tubes of 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series alloys in hard tempers, since it provides the shortest quenching time and produces the highest mechanical properties of treated extrusions. / Equipment adopted to material norms AMS2770, 2771, 277 / Extremely tight temperature uniformity resulting by proven airflow innovations / Rapid load immersion time as short as 5 seconds / AMS2770 compliant quench transfer times / Low utilities consumption
