Solution and Age Hardening

Modulus Metal is a company that provides heat treatment services to improve the strength and toughness of various alloys, including aluminum and nickel alloys, as well as stainless steel. Our team of experts are trained in various heat treatment techniques, including solution and age hardening for aluminum alloys and nickel alloys, and precipitation hardening for stainless steel.

SERVICES:

  • Solution and Age Hardening: Aluminum Alloys, Nickel Alloys
  • Stainless Steel Precipitation Hardening

Solution and Age hardening is a process that involves heating an alloy to a high temperature to dissolve any precipitates that may be present in the alloy. The alloy is then rapidly cooled, which causes the dissolved precipitates to re-form in a more stable and finely dispersed form. This process increases the strength and toughness of the alloy. Solution and age hardening is often used for aluminum and nickel alloys.

Precipitation hardening is a process that involves heating a stainless steel alloy to a high temperature to dissolve any precipitates that may be present in the alloy. The alloy is then cooled at a slow rate, which causes the dissolved precipitates to re-form in a more stable and finely dispersed form. This process increases the strength and toughness of the alloy. Precipitation hardening is often used for stainless steel alloys.

Modulus Metal is committed to helping its clients improve the strength and toughness of their alloys through heat treatment. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help you achieve the desired properties for your alloys.
