SAE 6063 Heat Treatments

  • Solution heat treating at 529°C for all forms.
    Solution heat treating soaking times and maximum quench delay times is on specifications.
    For all forms (aging treatment is mandatory): Starting temper is AQ or W, final temper is T4 or T42 (sometimes used to designate final tempers), aging at room temperatures. For all forms (aging treatment is preferred): Starting temper is T4, final temper is T6 (sometimes used to designate final tempers), aging at 177°C for 8-10h. For all forms (aging treatment is alternate): Starting temper is T42, final temper is T62 (sometimes used to designate final tempers), aging at 160°C for 18-34h. When temper before furnace aging is AQ, W, T4 or T42, the furnace aging treatment may be started immediately after quenching or at any time thereafter.
    Full anneal: At 399-427°C, soaking time is minimum 1h (soak times listed are for up to 13 mm maximum thickness. Add 0.5 hour for each additional 13 mm of product or nested stack thickness or fraction thereof over 13 mm), cooling in furnace (furnace cool at 28°C degrees per hour maximum, to 260°C, air cool to room temperature or furnace cool at 28°C degrees per hour maximum, to 232°C, hold at 232°C for 6 hours, furnace or air cool to room temperature). Stress relief: At 333-349°C, soaking time is minimum 0.5h (soak times listed are for up to 13 mm maximum thickness. Add 0.5 hour for each additional 13 mm of product or nested stack thickness or fraction thereof over 13 mm), cooling in air.
  • Typical heat treatment:
    Solution heat treatment (T1), extrusions, tube: By suitable control of extrusion temperature, product may be quenched directly from extrusion press to provide specified properties for this temper;
    Solution heat treatment (T4), extrusions, tube: At 515 - 525°C; by suitable control of extrusion temperature, product may be quenched directly from extrusion press to provide specified properties for this temper
    Some products may be adequately quenched in air blast at room temperature.
    Material should be quenched in water or by high velocity fans from the solution heat-treating temperature as rapidly as possible and with minimum delay after removal from the furnace. Unless otherwise indicated, when material is quenched by total immersion in water, the water should be at room temperature and suitably cooled to remain below 35°C during the quench cycle. The use of high velocity, high volume jets of cold water is also effective for some material.
    Precipitation heat treatment (T5), extrusions, tube: At 175 - 185°C, 3 h (An alternate treatment comprised of 1 - 2 h at 200 - 210°C may be used);
    Precipitation heat treatment (T6), extrusions, tube: At 170 - 180°C, 8 h (An alternate treatment comprised of 6 h at 175 - 185°C may be used); the time at temperature will depend on the time required for load to reach temperature. The times shown are based on rapid heating with soaking time measured from the time the load reaches the 10°C range listed or selected.
