Age Hardening Services: Precipitation Strengthening for Aluminum and Alloys

Age hardening services — also called precipitation hardening — strengthen certain alloys after they have been solution-treated and quenched. By holding the part at a moderate temperature, fine precipitates form inside the metal and dramatically raise its strength, often without the corrosion loss associated with some other treatments. Aluminum and magnesium alloys are the most […]
