COMPANY OVERVIEW
SECO/WARWICK Group is a leading global manufacturer of heat processing furnaces and equipment, including annealing and homogenizing furnaces.
SECO/WARWICK aluminum furnaces are in operation in more than 30 countries worldwide for primary and secondary aluminum production, as well as in downstream processes to deliver semi-finished or finished products for aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, chemical industries, marine applications, defense and arming usages, telecommunication, and electronics. The company specializes in aluminum furnaces for annealing, homogenizing, preheat, solution heat treat, and aging along with melting and holding equipment.
FEATURED PRODUCTS
SECO/WARWICK provides custom engineered aluminum coil and foil annealing furnaces with capacities ranging from single coil modular furnaces to multi-zone furnaces with tight zone control. We have the experience, knowledge and talent to manufacture efficient furnaces with exceptional temperature uniformity and unique charging techniques to fit the most demanding application. SECO/WARWICK continues to develop technologies to improve equipment performance and efficiency. Two significant improvements for coil/foil processing include: the Vortex® Flow Jet Heating System (which reduces cycle time by taking advantage of the high heat transfer produced through convection heating) and Mass Flow design.
SECO/WARWICK manufactures custom engineered aluminum log and billet homogenizing furnaces for most process applications. Equipment designs include batch (both car and tray designs), traveling, and continuous, complete with material handling systems and load cooling equipment. Unique reversing airflow designs and temperature control systems produce fast heating rates with tight temperature uniformity throughout the entire load.
SECO/WARWICK also provides VertiQuench drop-bottom furnace systems for demanding aluminum solution heat treatment, quenching and aging applications. The technology combines extremely tight temperature uniformity with very fast vertical quenching. Following heat treatment, the material is dropped directly into a water or polymer quenching tank located beneath the furnace, allowing full load immersion in as little as 5 seconds. This enables AMS2770-compliant quench transfer times and helps achieve high mechanical properties while minimizing distortion. VertiQuench systems can be supplied as complete solutions meeting stringent AMS2750 requirements for aerospace, automotive and other demanding applications.
The technology is particularly well suited for aluminum extruded and drawn tubing, including porthole and seamless tubes, manufactured from 2xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx series alloys.
In addition, SECO/WARWICK provides sow preheating/drying systems for a higher degree of safety for primary and secondary aluminum melting/re-melting facilities; preheating furnaces for hot rolling of aluminum alloy slabs and hot forging of parts; reverb melting furnaces for melting primary aluminum T-bars and ingots, as well as sows and alloy scrap; and solution heat treat and aging furnace systems are designed for the artificial aging of manufactured extrusions, plates, sheets, forgings and castings to achieve final mechanical properties.
