T6 Aluminum Solution Furnaces
Aluminum Solution Heat Treating Horizontal Fast Quench Furnace
[60” x 60” x 48” High (7 second quench)]
Williams designed the Horizontal Fast Quench Furnace using our vast experience with Heat Treating Furnaces and material handling. Low overhead issues required Williams to provide a product for the industry that fits a smaller footprint.
The material handling design uses a proven rear handler that is used on our Batch Integral Quench Furnaces. The load transfer system to quench of 7 seconds meets AMS2771 specification. The Batch Furnace comes with a double deck quench elevator that once again is used in our Batch Integral Quench Furnaces. The double deck elevator allows a new load to be transferred into the furnace while a load is being quenched.
The furnace can be loaded/unloaded with a standard charge car or manually loaded. Aging can be performed in this unit as well or stand-alone units are available upon request.

Aging Furnaces
Williams provides a variety of different sizes and features for our Batch Tempering Furnaces. Our Batch Tempering Furnaces are commonly used in our Batch Integral Quench Furnaces lines. However, we supply them as stand-alone units as well.
The Williams Draw Furnace is well known for excellent temperature uniformity +/- 10F or better from 300F to 1400F. The furnaces can be either direct gas fired, indirect fired, or electrically heated.
In addition, these units can operate with nitrogen gas or argon gas with our cooling systems to prevent scale and discoloration. When equipped with our cooling system, the Williams Temper Furnace can automatically perform double and triple tempering if desired.
The furnace can be loaded/unloaded with a standard charge car or manually loaded via forklift. These units are equipped with alloy rollers rails or stationary alloy rails for manually loading and unloading.
