After casting, products such as road wheels, cylinder heads, brake callipers, etc. are strengthened by solution treatment and age hardening (T6). This involves heating the aluminium castings to a specified temperature, quenching in water, then reheating. Due to the route the products take through continuous furnaces, temperature profiling is difficult. Where temperature profiling is a requirement, or where a temperature survey is needed to prove compliance to a heat treatment specification (CQI-9, etc.), the PhoenixTM High Temperature Water Quench System is the answer
The System combines the TS06-215-1 thermal barrier, with a choice of either a 6, or 10 channel PTM1 series high temperature data logger, and PhoenixTM Thermal View Plus software. Add to this system the range of high accuracy PhoenixTM MI thermocouples and you have a robust and accurate temperature monitoring system for profiling or CQI-9 compliance , etc…
