Manufacturing Capabilities for Non-Ferrous Alloys

  • T6 Heat Treatment for Cast Aluminum: Combines solution heat treatment, rapid water quenching, and artificial aging to increase A356 tensile strength from 23 ksi (as-cast) up to 33+ ksi.
  • High-Conductivity Copper Forging: Hot forging eliminates internal voids in copper busbars while preserving maximum IACS electrical conductivity for high-amperage data center switchgear.
  • 100% Pressure Decay Leak Testing: Liquid cooling distribution manifolds and valve bodies undergo pneumatic helium leak detection (ASTM E515) to guarantee zero-leak operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mechanical improvements does T6 heat treatment provide for cast aluminum?

T6 heat treatment combines solution heat treatment, rapid water quenching, and artificial aging to increase A356 tensile strength from 23 ksi (as-cast) up to 33+ ksi.
