Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following description is provided as an enabling teaching for an exemplary embodiment of a system for supporting a casting during heat treatment, also referred to as a casting support system. Those skilled in the art will recognize that changes can be made to the described embodiments and still obtain beneficial results. It will also be apparent that some of the desired benefits of the described embodiments can be obtained by selecting some features of the embodiments without utilizing other features. In other words, features or aspects from one embodiment may be combined with features or aspects from other embodiments in any suitable combination. For example, any single or collective feature of a method aspect or embodiment may be applied to an apparatus, product or component aspect or embodiment and vice versa. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will recognize that many modifications and variations to the described embodiments are possible and can even be desi...

Abstract

A system for supporting castings during thermal treatments, such as solution heat treatment, quenching and aging, that includes a tray defining a horizontal base plane and having a plurality of tray openings therethrough, and a fixture extending over one or more of the tray openings. The fixture is formed by a plurality of support plates oriented vertically with lower portions extending across thetray opening and top edges extending above the tray opening with shaped profiles along the lengths thereof. The plurality of support plates form an open lattice having a plurality of top edges that together define an open support surface that is substantially complementary with an underside surface of a casting and configured to loosely support the casting atop the lattice and align the casting in space above the tray opening.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 222407, filed September 23, 2015. [0003] Incorporate by reference [0004] The disclosure of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 222407, filed September 23, 2015, is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if set forth in its entirety herein. technical field [0005] The present invention generally relates to brackets and fixtures for supporting castings during heat treatments such as solution heat treating, quenching and aging. Background technique [0006] Historically, heat treatment of thin-walled aluminum alloy castings that have been formed in a high pressure die casting (HPDC) process has been problematic and often results in defective components and high scrap rates. For example, these types of castings often have complex shapes, surface features, pores, and variations in their cross-sectional thickness tha...
