Solar Atmospheres, Hermitage, Pennsylvania announced the start of installation for a new titanium drop bottom water quench furnace at its Western PA facility. The furnace is engineered for high-performance heat treatment of titanium components, with a maximum operating temperature of 1850°F ±10°F.
Designed to process loads up to 7,500 pounds, the furnace chamber measures 14 feet in length, 54 inches in width, and 48 inches in height. Workloads will be rapidly transferred into a 7,000-gallon recirculated water quench tank within seconds, ensuring uniform metallurgical properties critical to aerospace and industrial specifications.
The installation represents a strategic investment in expanding the company’s titanium solution treating capabilities. Solar Atmospheres stated that the project reinforces its commitment to delivering precision thermal processing solutions tailored to customer demands in high-performance sectors.
