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.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 26, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 26, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 26, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
