Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) today announced plans to install a new
horizontal heat treat furnace at its Davenport Works facility in Iowa.
Heat treatment is a required step in the production of certain
high-strength products, and is essential for products intended for large
aerospace and industrial applications.

This new furnace will enable Arconic to heat treat longer and thicker
plate than ever before, including material for Arconic’s recently
installed Thick
Plate Stretcher, which began commercial production this year and is
the largest thick plate stretcher in the world. Need for thick aluminum
plate is growing, particularly as demand for composite wings, made with
monolithic thick plate wing ribs, increases.

“This investment will help meet both existing and future customer
demand,” said Tim Myers, President, Global Rolled Products and
Transportation and Construction Solutions. “With this new capability, we
will meet increasing demand for plate used for aircraft wing ribs, skins
and other structural components, particularly in single-aisle builds. It
also opens the door to growth in other markets, such as semi-conductors
for consumer electronics and injection molding for automotive
applications.”

The $137 million investment is supported by economic development
financial assistance from the Iowa Department of Economic Development
(IDED) and the City of Riverdale. Once the contract is finalized, the
assistance will include tax, financing and R&D credits as well as
training grants for the Davenport workforce and new employees.

“Arconic has been a great Iowa partner, and job creator,” said Iowa
Economic Development Authority Debi Durham. “We look forward to
continuing the relationship with this latest project.”

Construction on the project is expected to begin late this year with
commercial production expected to start in 2019.
