What is Heat treatment (STA)?

Heat treatment (STA) capability for titanium components

Vacuum heat treatment capability for Heat treatment (STA), with programmable temperature profiling, inert gas cooling, and metallographic verification.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Vacuum heat treatment of titanium in a controlled environment prevents oxygen/nitrogen pickup that causes alpha-case embrittlement. Programmable temperature profiles with inert gas fan cooling enable solution treatment, aging, stress relief, and annealing in a single cycle, specifically for titanium components. Precision titanium components present unique challenges: Balancing dimensional accuracy with cost per part. Process selection (mill vs. turn vs. EDM vs. laser) optimized for each feature.

Parameter Specification
Atmosphere Vacuum < 10⁻⁵ torr
Cooling Inert gas fan cooling (2 bar Ar); oil/water quench
Max Temp 1200°C (beta solution treatment)
