<p>A method for producing a cast aluminum vehicle wheel (10) uses a high intensity electric infrared heating system (44) to heat treat the wheel (10). The infrared heating system (44) is an indexing-type system which includes a plurality of individual heating stations (stations n°1-n°12). A first group of heating stations (stations n°2-n°6) effects solution heat treating of the wheel (10), while a second group (stations n°8-n°12) effects artificial aging. The infrared system (44) enables the solution heat treating and aging to be completed in less than 15 minutes.</p> |
