Abstract

Ein Verfahren zur Wärmebehandlung von Gussteilen, insbesondere von Leichtmetall-Druckgussteilen durch Lösungsglühen, Abkühlen und Auslagern, wobei die Gussteile direkt nach der Entnahme aus der Form, oder direkt in der Form vor der Entnahme mittels Infrarotstrahlen für ein bis fünf Minuten lösungsgeglüht, danach für zwei bis fünf Minuten abgeschreckt und warm ausgelagert werden.A process for the heat treatment of castings, in particular light metal die castings by solution heat treatment, cooling and aging, wherein the castings solution-annealed directly after removal from the mold, or directly in the mold before removal by infrared rays for one to five minutes, then for two quenched to five minutes and panned warm.
