This article looks at ways our means of transportation – how we get from here to there – are heat treated. We start with aerospace and then consider vehicular transportation followed by manual propulsion.

Bodycote signed a 15-year contract with Rolls-Royce’s Civil Aerospace business. Bodycote will provide thermal-processing services including specialized vacuum heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to support Rolls-Royce’s turbine blade casting facilities in Derby and Rotherham, U.K. The contract will be worth over $213 million in incremental revenues over the life of the agreement, and sales will ramp up over the next five years.

This FIERF-sponsored project experimentally investigated some of the fundamental aspects of using forging or other deformation techniques as post-processes to additively manufactured (AM) metals.

Bodycote held a ground-breaking ceremony for new aluminum solution-treatment capability at its Westminster, Calif., location.
