SAE 6463 Heat Treatments
- Typical heat treatment:
Solution heat treatment (T1), extrusions: 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;
Solution heat treatment (T4), extrusions: At 515 - 525°C;
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: At 175 - 185°C, 1 h (An alternate treatment comprised of 1 - 2 h at 200 - 210°C may be used);
Precipitation heat treatment (T6), extrusions: 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.
