Thanks for the feedback and the ideas.
We run continuous furnaces. We have just got set up to collect temperatures in real time off the PLC system. We also have our stopped the paper charts and have our hardness and tensile results time stamped and in a database.
So I guess my next task is to see if I can correlate temperature variations to changes in properties.
With Aluminum castings, I think there is far more scatter than with steel due to casting defects, but right now I have no data...so I better get the facts.
Thanks again for the help.
BTW - I jsut saw an article on the AIAG web site.
The heat treat standard for TS is only the start, it is just a pilot project for all "special processes".
Welding, plating, painting are all coming soon (06-07)!
Just like the Eveready bunny TS keeps going and going and going
