Aluminum Heat Treatment

Process applied to aluminum alloys to increase their strength, hardness, tensile strength, and impact resistance.This process consists of three main steps:

  • Solution Heat Treatment
    This step involves heating the aluminum alloy to a specified temperature to allow the intermetallic phases (compounds) to dissolve into the aluminum matrix.
  • Quenching
    This involves rapidly cooling the aluminum alloy, typically with water or oil, to suppress the formation of the intermetallic compounds and retain a supersaturated solid solution.

  • Artificial-Aging
    This step involves heating the aluminum alloy to a specific temperature for a set period. This allows the dissolved intermetallic compounds to re-form and precipitate throughout the microstructure, creating a stronger and more hardened network.
