CEC Sells Integral Quench Furnace System to Major Aerospace Manufacturer

Kennesaw, GA (June 17, 2008) –One of the world’s premier manufacturers of business-jet aircraft, has contracted with Consolidated Engineering Company (CEC) to design and manufacture an Integral Quench Furnace System for their new heat treat facility in Mexico. This system will be treating a broad range of aerospace steels, so it was of utmost importance that the system be very versatile and could heat treat low to medium carbon tool steels, precipitation hardening steels, martensitic, austenitic and stainless steels.

The customer needed a company who could provide a system that took into account the importance of compliance with aerospace requirements coupled with the individual metallurgical needs of each different alloy being used. In the evaluation process, CEC met with the customer’s project team and jointly designed a system that adheres to the stringent aerospace specifications, particularly AMS-H-6876, AMS 2759/3D, AMS 2759/4B, AMS-2759/5D, and AMS 2759/7A.
