The heat-treated material is dropped into water or\u00a0polymer quenching tanks located directly under the furnace.<\/p>\n<p>VertiQuench provides solution heat treatment followed by&nbsp;quenching and artificial aging for precipitation hardening of products. The furnaces can be&nbsp;supplied in&nbsp;one complete system conforming to&nbsp;AMS standards, NADCAP certification, and meeting those tight requirements in&nbsp;terms of temperature uniformity, restrictions for processing time in&nbsp;each step, and all other parameters.<\/p>\n<p>VertiQuench provides an optimal heat treatment technology for aluminum alloy extruded and drawn porthole or\u00a0seamless tubes of 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series alloys in\u00a0hard tempers, since it provides the shortest quenching time and produces the highest mechanical properties of treated extrusions.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Advantages&#8221;
