Lighter > Cost Effective > SOLUTIONS

The lightweighting Technology standard for cost-effective, complex geometries for high-strength aluminium pressings by reducing weight for simpler, stronger structures.

HFQ® Technology enables extremely complex aluminium parts

The HFQ® Technology press forms hot aluminium blanks at high speed, which are quenched in the press tool, followed by artificial ageing to achieve full strength.

HFQ® Technology enables extremely complex aluminium parts to be formed in a single press operation, whilst achieving high levels of strength in the finished part using standard grades of aluminium.
