SAE 6013 Heat Treatments
- Solution heat treating at 538°C for sheets (should not be solution heat treated after forming because it has a tendency to develop a large grain structure due to recrystallization). Solution heat treating at 529°C for rods and bars.
Aging treatment is mandatory. For sheets: Starting temper is AQ or W, final temper is T4 or T42 (sometimes used to designate final tempers), aging at room temperatures; Starting temper is T4 or T42, final temper is T6 or T62 (sometimes used to designate final tempers), aging at 191°C for 4-5h. 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.
Solution heat treating soaking times and maximum quench delay times is on specifications.
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. - Annealing: Soak for 2 to 3 hours at 775°F (413°C); cool at rate of 50°F (28°C) per hour or slower to 500°F (260°C); further cooling rate optional.
Solution heat treating temperature (for sheet): 563-574°C (1045-1065°F) , followed by an air cool and quenched.
Solution heat treating temperature (for rod, bar): 560-571°C (1040-1060°F) , followed by an air cool and quenched.
