Forging characteristics The characteristics of the forged part can be summarized as follows: maximum resistance values for material (tensile strength, alternating bending fatigue limit, elongation and resilience) good electrical conductivity absolute tightness to liquids and gases particularly clean and smooth, high chemical resistance, homogeneous and porosity-free structure Xinye make the heat treatments in the own factory to meet the production cycle. After forging, the components are subjected to solution treatment, hardening and artificial ageing. Aging The subsequent aging phase consists in hardening by precipitation of the alloy constituents, which can occur: in the oven - physical state T6. This process gives the products the most appropriate physical and mechanical characteristics for subsequent uses Surface treatment Ningbo Xinye carries out surface processing in compliance with customer needs, in order to offer a finished product that conforms to its intended use. Pickling: Pickling is a typically chemical or mechanical treatment, which aims to remove a very thin surface layer, to make the product free of contamination such as oxides, fats and processing residues. Anodic oxidation: Anodic oxidation is an electro-chemical process through which a thin surface layer of aluminum oxide is generated, usually between 5 and 20 microns, which increases corrosion protection. This layer can be supplied neutral, i.e. the same color as the aluminium, or coloured.
