A new 11,000-gallon stainless steel recirculating water quench tank has been installed as work continuesfor the commissioning of Solar Atmospheres’ new titanium drop bottom water quench furnace.
The state-of-the-art furnace remains on schedule to be fully commissioned and operational by September 2026.
Designed primarily to solution treat titanium bars, titanium forgings, and other large titanium components, the furnace features a 14-foot-long × 54-inch-wide × 48-inch-high workload envelope. Parts will be rapidly transferred into this 11,000-gallon recirculating and agitated water quench tank within a five– to seven–second time stamp, delivering the rapid and uniform cooling required to achieve consistent metallurgical properties for demanding aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
This investment further expands Solar Atmospheres’ capabilities for processing large titanium components while reinforcing its commitment to providing advanced thermal processing solutions for the industry’s most critical applications.
