ASTM A 356 Grade 6 Heat Treatments
- Heat treatment for mechanical properties:
Normalizing: The castings shall be heated to and held at the proper temperature for a sufficient time to effect the desired transformation and withdrawn from the furnace and allowed to cool to effect complete transformation.
Tempering: The casting shall be heated to and held at the proper temperature, which shall be below the transformation range, and then cooled under suitable conditions. The tempering temperature shall not be less than 595°C (1100°F).
Stress relieving: The stress relieving operation shall be carried out in the same manner as tempering. The temperature shall be within 28°C (50°F), but not exceeding the final tempering temperature.
Minimum preheat temperature: 150°C (300°F) for t > 13 mm, 10°C (50°F) for t ≤ 13 mm.
