AA 6162 Heat Treatments

  • The times and temperatures are typical for various forms, sizes and methods of manufacture and may not exactly describe the optimum treatment for a specific item.

    The nominal temperatures at which metal is heated (applies both for solution and precipitation heat treatment) should be attained as rapidly as possible and maintained ± 5°C of nominal during the time at temperature.

    The time at precipitation heat treatment temperature will depend on time required for load to reach temperature. The times shown are based on rapid heating, with soaking time measured from the time the load reached within 5°C of the applicable temperature.

    Material should be quenched from the solution heat-treating temperature as rapidly as possible and with minimum delay after removal from the furnace. Quenching is typically performed by immersion of wrought products in a cold water bath, although some forgings are quenched in hot-water. Quenching may be performed by alternative means such as total immersion in an aqueous polymer solution, liquefied gas, hot water, or boiling water, or by air blast or fog to minimize distortion provided samples from the material. The use of high-velocity high-volume jets of cold water is also effective for some materials.

    For extruded rod, bar, profiles and tube

    Temper T1: Quenched directly from the extrusion press, naturally aged. Some extrusions may be adequately quenched using a room temperature air blast. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T1510: Quenched directly from the extrusion press precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Some extrusions may be adequately quenched using a room temperature air blast. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set subsequent to solution heat treatment. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T1511: Quenched directly from the extrusion press precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Some extrusions may be adequately quenched using a room temperature air blast. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set subsequent to solution heat treatment. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T4: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, naturally aged. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T4510: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, naturally aged. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set subsequent to solution heat treatment. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T4511: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, naturally aged. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set subsequent to solution heat treatment. By definition, this temper designation is that which would apply after natural aging even though mechanical properties for this alloy-temper product have not been registered.

    Temper T5: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours.

    Temper T5510: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set prior to any precipitation heat treatment.

    Temper T5511: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set prior to any precipitation heat treatment.

    Temper T6: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours.

    Temper T6510: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set prior to any precipitation heat treatment.

    Temper T6511: Solution heat treated at 525°C, quenched, precipitation heat treated at 175°C for 8 hours. Stress-relieved by stretching is required to produce a specified amount of permanent set prior to any precipitation heat treatment.
