Aluminum technology
A major sheet metal producer needed to determine how the heat treatment process should be modified based on the alloy being processed. An evaluation of tensile material properties at various temperatures for different materials enabled Secat to determine optimum heat treatment profiles for specified aluminum alloys. Sheet manufacturing process development and improvement Microstructural evaluation and material testing of sheet products, including texture, fatigue, etc.
