At NUTEC Bickley, we design and manufacture advanced forging preheat and solution furnaces tailored for high-performance metalworking applications. These industrial furnaces provide the precise temperature control, durability, and thermal consistency required for demanding forging and heat treatment operations.
Forging preheat furnaces
Purpose
Forging preheat furnaces are used to heat metal billets, bars, or blanks to a specified temperature before they are forged. Proper preheating improves metal formability, reduces tool wear, and ensures better grain structure in the final product.
Key features
- Uniform heating to reduce thermal shock and deformation
- Fast heat-up rates for increased throughput
- Rugged construction to handle high loading cycles
- Gas or electric heating options available
Applications
- Hot forging of steel, titanium, aluminum, and alloys
- Automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery manufacturing
- Forging presses and hammer operations
Solution heat treatment furnaces
Purpose
Solution heat treatment is a critical process used to dissolve alloying elements into the base metal, followed by rapid quenching to lock in the desired microstructure. It’s essential for enhancing the strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability of alloys—especially aluminum and nickel-based materials
Key features
- Uniform heating to reduce thermal shock and deformation
- Integrated quench systems (air, water, or polymer)
- Precise control for time-critical soaking periods
- Compliance with AMS 2750 and NADCAP standards
Applications
- Aerospace structural components
- Heat-treated aluminum parts
- Precision-machined alloy parts
- Castings and extrusions requiring solution aging
Built for performance. backed by experience.
Every furnace NUTEC BICKLEY build is engineered with industrial-grade reliability, customizable controls, and options for automated loading, atmosphere control, and data logging—ensuring superior results for every cycle.
