These increased efficiencies required more specialized materials and thus more specialized manufacturing processes.

Can-Eng’s custom heat treatment systems for both HPDCs and high-integrity aluminum automotive structural components provide repeatable mechanical properties and high dimensional stability through unique furnace designs while simultaneously offering unrivalled part handling, minimized floor space, and reduced energy requirements.
