Bodycote breaks ground on site for new solution treatment capability at Westminster, California

Bodycote, the world's leading provider of heat treating services, held a ground breaking ceremony for a new aluminum solution treatment capability at its Westminster, California location in February 2016.

With this new capability, Bodycote will be able to process aluminum alloys up to 21 feet in length at 1100oF, able to use multiple types of quench media. This new furnace, scheduled to be in service by the end of third quarter this year, will allow the treatment of large aerospace and commercial forgings, up to 20,000 lbs.

Bodycote continues to invest in regional aerospace manufacturing markets across the USA in support of aerospace prime manufacturers and their supply chains.
