Dual Chamber Aerospace Heat Treat System (DCAHT®)

.

The DELTA H Dual Chamber Heat Treat Furnace (DCAHT®) is the ideal setup for any aerospace maintenance facility that performs solution heat treatment and precipitation aging. We offer the only turn-key aerospace heat treatment system that exceeds AMS2750H as well as other specifications. Our state-of-the-art DCAHT System is the only in-house solution that eliminates the expensive and unexpected delays, improperly heat-treated parts, and quality control issues routinely experienced with outsourcing your heat-treating jobs.

Mission-Critical Performance

DELTA H systems are trusted by military and aerospace operations worldwide, including Air Force facilities operating in combat zones. Our dual chamber systems are designed to heat treat anything that can cause an aircraft to be grounded and get it back in the air quickly. When mission readiness is non-negotiable, aerospace professionals rely on DELTA H.

Dual Chamber Design for AMS2750H-Compliant Precipitation Aging

The unique design of our heat treating system consists of two chambers that operate independently in both control and airflow. The independent operation reduces the processing time by eliminating the wait time required for equipment to stabilize at different temperatures.

  • Dual Chamber Aerospace Heat Treat system features a 500°F upper chamber and is designed for precipitation hardening or age hardening and a 1200°F lower chamber that is designed for solution heat treating.
  • Stow-away quench tank makes the footprint compact, allowing it to fit into any shop corner or hanger.
  • Constructed of 3/16″ epoxy-coated steel plate and lined with three types of insulation.
  • All systems include low-density electric heating elements for long life.

Industry-Leading Temperature Uniformity

DELTA H achieves Class 1 temperature uniformity (±5°F) – exceeding the standard AMS 2750H Class 2 requirement of ±10°F. Our typical certified TUS volume span is less than 2°F, ensuring exceptional precision for mission-critical aerospace components. This superior uniformity achievement sets DELTA H apart from standard heat treating equipment.

First developed in the late 1980s, our revolutionary Dual Chamber Furnace is now a mandatory standard for leading MROs, OEMs, parts suppliers, and armed forces on a global basis. The DELTA H Dual Chamber Furnace ensures that your planes remain airworthy, mission-ready, and properly maintained, while minimizing turnaround time and keeping your organization profitable. We speak the language of the aviation industry and understand there can be no compromise in quality or performance when it comes to “parts that fly”.

Rapid Cooling Technology Available

For enhanced processing efficiency, Delta H offers advanced Defender series options with unique rapid cooling capabilities. These systems can rapidly cool from 1000°F to 250-375°F without equipment damage – a critical advantage for aluminum processing where parts must be worked and re-aged within 30 minutes after quenching. While other systems require hours to cool down, DELTA H rapid cooling technology eliminates wait times and can even allow single chamber systems to perform dual chamber functions.
