Heat Treat Radio #124: Solving Aluminum Distortion Challenges with Uphill Quenching
|
What do Mars rovers, sniper pods, and rotor grips have in common? Uphill quenching — a thermal-mechanical technique that uses liquid nitrogen and high-velocity steam to dramatically reduce stress and distortion.
In today's episode of Heat Treat Radio, Greg Newton, Newton Heat Treating CEO, joins host Doug Glenn to take a dive deep into this little-known but highly effective process for controlling residual stress in aluminum alloys. Guest John Avalos, Newton’s quality engineer and IT/Digital Transformation Manager, joins the conversation.
Get the full picture of how this thermal-mechanical method improves machinability, enhances precision, and extends component life, especially in aerospace and optical applications.
