Experience
Our experience and R&D facility can establish empirical guidelines while our CFD modeling capabilities can establish the theoretical to allow “if-then” variants for various alloys and heat treatment properties.
CEC has automated and refined progressive quenching systems for aerospace hard alloys. CEC systems air quench millions of castings and forgings per year; this type of quench removes the residual stress potential caused by other quenching rates.
Regarding your manufacturing data; call and see how we can connect your manufacturing data by ethernet and Profinet to your Controllers PC based spreadsheet. This data can be used for tracking, quality control or finances. Conversely, CEC can transfer your 25 ton forging from a tip up furnace to the water quench.
At CEC we know the metals and materials industry from a worldwide and multi-decade perspective, we are committed to help our customers prosper. Give us a call and we will be happy to discuss this and other aftermarket services with you.
