Airbus approval for heat treatment

Solar Atmospheres, which makes vacuum heat treating and brazing furnaces, has received approval from Airbus for its heat treatment technology.

“Many Airbus suppliers were in need of a heat treater in the West that could process parts, plates and bars in support of increased Airbus production rates,” said Frank Trujillo, director of sales.

The company says that it can process parts up to 50,000 pounds and 24 feet in length.
