HEAT TREAT
US Aluminum Castings
When initially poured, aluminum castings do not have their full potential material strength. In order to drastically improve the material performance of cast aluminum, each casting must undergo a heat treat process. This process involves first homogenizing the molecular structure of the metal through a gradual heating cycle and then quickly quenching the material in a water bath. This process, in combination with artificial aging, ensures that each casting has uniform material properties that are reliable to the specific alloy/material performance requirements of our customers.
In order to ensure that we are able to continually provide our customers with quality castings, our heat treat department has been certified to Nadcap AS7102, and we have recently made a large capitol investment in new, state of the art, automated heat treat equipment.

About
US Aluminum Castings was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1909 as part of the Morel Foundry family. For the next 8 decades, USAC supplied quality castings to the growing US commercial, aerospace and industrial sectors. While growing in capabilities and product demand, the need for additional manufacturing space became increasingly apparent. In 1994, 85 years after opening its doors, US Aluminum Castings relocated to Entiat, Washington, along the banks of the Columbia River. This new location expanded our foundry to 100,000 sq ft and allows USAC to offer its customers a myriad of casting processes, accredited value-added services, and the use of environmentally friendly, renewable hydroelectric power.
