Shape-setting heat treatment capability for titanium components
What is Shape-setting heat treatment?
Shape-setting heat treatment capability for titanium components
Vacuum heat treatment capability for Shape-setting heat treatment, 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) is 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) |
Engineering Capabilities & Limits
Vacuum heat treatment capability for Shape-setting heat treatment, with programmable temperature profiling, inert gas cooling, and metallographic verification.
Hole Types Supported
Heat Control Measures
Graphite heating elements with molybdenum radiation shields. Partial pressure argon backfill during cooling for uniform thermal distribution.
Flatness & Stress Relief
Ceramic or titanium fixtures maintain component geometry during thermal cycling. A controlled cooling rate minimizes thermal gradient distortion.
Tolerance
Temperature: +5°C uniformity; ramp 1–20°C/min
