01 / ENGINEERING FOUNDATION

From molten aluminium to final properties, data connects the process.

Aluminium quality is shaped long before final inspection. Alloy preparation, melting, casting, hot working and heat treatment all contribute to material performance. Yuanji brings batch testing, metallurgical analysis and process verification together to support repeatable material and forging supply.

Verification during production

Monitoring chemistry, hydrogen content and melt cleanliness at critical stages.

Traceable outcomes

Connecting analytical findings with lot and inspection records for engineering review.

02 / CORE CAPABILITIES

Four core analytical & verification disciplines

Based on Yuanji’s existing R&D description, these disciplines support understanding and control of material quality.

OES composition analysis
01 / MATERIAL CHEMISTRY

OES composition analysis

Direct-reading optical emission spectrometry (OES) is used for repeated chemical analyses during casting campaigns, supporting alloy formulation consistency and traceable batch control.

CHEMISTRY CONTROL
ABB ALSCAN hydrogen analysis
02 / HYDROGEN ANALYSIS

ABB ALSCAN hydrogen analysis

ABB ALSCAN is used to measure hydrogen in molten aluminium during casting campaigns, providing a reference for melt quality and potential porosity risk.

MOLTEN METAL ANALYSIS
Melt cleanliness evaluation
03 / METAL CLEANLINESS

Melt cleanliness evaluation

In addition to hydrogen, metallographic and ultrasonic evaluation, Yuanji describes direct measurement methods for non-metallic inclusions and melt cleanliness.

INCLUSION ASSESSMENT
Thermal process verification
04 / THERMAL ASSURANCE

Thermal process verification

Homogenization, preheating, solution treatment and aging require accurate, uniform furnace temperatures supported by periodic SAT and TUS verification.

03 / CONTROLLED THERMAL PROCESSING

Reliable thermal processing supports repeatable material properties.

Furnace temperature accuracy, uniformity and process records matter in aluminium heat treatment. Yuanji conducts periodic SAT (System Accuracy Test) and TUS (Temperature Uniformity Survey) activities to support control of thermal processes.
