Setting
Alloy Heat Treatment operate a 24-hour setting department catering for; aerospace, automotive and engineering needs.
Distortion can occur in intricate products, due to the rapid heat transfer from the quenching process, this can create a thermal gradient in certain parts, causing twist.
This Process removes distortion in the solution treated condition, when products are still ductile.
Alloy Heat Treatment can set to close tolerances, often to customer supplied fixtures, in a tight time frame. This process can be extended to the rectification of parts supplied to AHT, in a distorted condition from the manufacturing process.

Sarginsons have been using AHT`s “Setting service” now for many years. Whilst the setting operation can at times look somewhat “random”, it hides the skill that is actually essential, in setting the “thin walled” complicated parts we cast, to the Customers exacting requirements.
I know all of the operatives very well, and whist presenting a “professional approach,” there is always room for some “banter” along the way. Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending AHT`s Setting service to anyone!
