Heat Treat Furnaces / Aging Ovens meeting AMS 2750 and NADCAP specifications
Heat treating is a thermal process used to alter the physical properties of metals. By changing the rate of heating and cooling, the mechanical behavior of metals is easily manipulated. The different processes include aluminum solution heat treating, precipitation / age hardening, annealing, aging, quenching, assaying, tempering and hardening. Interesting: Aluminum alloys are soft after quenching, ferrous materials become briddle. Both groups require another heat treat process after quenching.

Keith furnaces are built to NFPA 86 specifications and meet pyrometric requirements such as NADCAP, AMS 2750H (formerly AMS2750G) (Aerospace Material Specifications) and MIL Spec specifications. The different specifications outline in detail the different requirements for thermal processing systems of each alloy. Selecting the furnace class for temperature uniformity and instrumentation type, which guides the design of the system, these specifications also regulate inspection cycles and inspection precision. The class of heat treatment furnace (1-6), type of instrumentation (A - E), quench delay time (5-15 sec) and quench medium temperatue for solution heat treatment are based each alloys process heat treat specification (examples: AMS 2770, AMS 2771, AMS 2772, BAC-5621, RPS-953, MIL-H-6088). These specs are verified by temperature uniformity surveys (TUS) & NADCAP AC 1702 audits.
The pyrometric specifications contained in AMS 2750 H regarding instrumentation and furnace class can be summarized as follows:
| Instrumentation | Type | Furnace Class |
Temperature Uniformity | |||||
| A | B | C | D | E | C | F | ||
| One thermocouple connected to the controller for each control zone | X | X | X | X | X | 1 | +/- 3 | +/- 5 |
| Record of the temperature measured by the control thermocouple | X | X | X | X | 2 | +/- 6 | +/- 10 | |
| Sensors for recording | X | X | 3 | +/- 8 | +/- 15 | |||
| One charge thermocouple with record for each control zone | X | X | 4 | +/- 10 | +/- 20 | |||
| One over-temperature protection device for each control zone | X | X | X | X | 5 | +/- 14 | +/- 25 | |
| 6 | +/- 24 | +/- 50 | ||||||
