2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice is intended for use in the heat treatment ofwrought aluminum alloys for general purpose applications.1.1.1 The heat t

4、ous forms, sizes, and manufacturingmethods and may not provide the optimum heat treatment fora specific item.1.3 Some alloys in the 6xxx series may achieve the T4temper by quenching from within the solution temperaturerange during or immediately following a hot working process,such as upon emerging

5、from an extrusion die. Such alternativesto furnace heating and immersion quenching are indicated inTable 2, by Footnote L, for heat treatment of wrought alumi-num alloys.

(Refer to Practice B 807 for extrusionpress solution heat treatment of aluminum alloys and toPractice B 947 for hot rolling mill solution heat treatment ofaluminum alloys.)31.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Thevalues stat

7、ed in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its us

18、ing or by theheat-treatment environment.4.1.1 Air chamber furnaces may be oil- or gas-fired or maybe electrically heated. Furnace components that are signifi-cantly hotter than the metal should be suitably shielded formetal less than 0.250 in. 6.35 mm thick to prevent adverseradiation effects. The a

19、tmosphere in air chamber furnaces mustbe controlled to prevent potential porosity resulting fromsolution heat treatment (see Note 1). The suitability of theatmosphere in an air-chamber furnace can be demonstrated bytesting, in accordance with 7.4.2.1, that products processed inthat furnace are free

20、from heat-treat induced porosity.NOTE 1Heat-treat induced porosity may lower mechanical propertiesand commonly causes blistering of the surface of the material. Thecondition is most likely to occur in furnaces in which the products ofcombustion contact the work, particularly if the gases are high in

21、 watervapor or contain compounds of sulfur. In general, the high-strengthwrought alloys of the 2xxx and 7xxx series are most susceptible.Low-strength and Alclad (two sides) products are practically immune tothis type of damage. Anodic films and proprietary heat-treat coatings arealso useful in prote

22、cting against porosity resulting from solution heattreatment. Surface discoloration is a normal result of solution heattreatment of aluminum alloys and should not be interpreted as evidence ofdamage from overheating or as heat-treat induced porosity (see 7.4.2.1).4.1.2 Salt baths heat the work rapid

23、ly and uniformly. Thetemperature of the bath can be closely controlled, an importantconsideration in solution heat treatment of wrought aluminumalloys. High-temperature oxidation of aluminum is not aproblem in salt baths.4.2 Furnace Temperature Uniformity and Calibration Re-quirements:4.2.1 After es

24、tablishment of thermal equilibrium or a recur-rent temperature pattern, the temperature in the working(soaking) zone, for all furnace control and test sensors, shallmaintain temperature in the working (soaking) zone within thefollowing allowable ranges:4.2.1.1 50F 28C range for furnaces used only fo

25、r fullannealing at 825F 441C and higher, except 20F 12Crange if the annealing temperature is within 15F 8C of themiddle of the solution heat treating temperature range specifiedin Table 2.4.2.1.2 30F 17C range for furnaces used only for solu-tion heat treatment of those 6xxx alloys for which Table 2

26、specifies a range from 30F 17C or more.4.2.1.3 20F 12C range for furnaces used for othersolution heat treatment specified in Table 2 and any aging heattreatment.4.2.2 Temperature-Measuring System Accuracy TestTheaccuracy of temperature-measuring system shall be checkedweekly under operating conditio

27、ns. This check should be madeby inserting a calibrated test temperature-sensing elementadjacent to the furnace temperature-sensing element and read-ing the test temperature-sensing element with a calibrated testpotentiometer. When the furnace is equipped with dual poten-tiometer measuring systems wh

28、ich are checked daily againsteach other, the preceding checks may be conducted every 3months rather than every week. The test temperature-sensingelement, potentiometer, and cold junction compensation com-bination shall have been calibrated against National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST)

29、 or equivalent national stan-dard primary or secondary certified temperature-sensing ele-ments, within the previous 3 months, to an accuracy of 62F61.1C.4.3 Furnaces and Salt Baths Temperature UniformitySurveysA temperature uniformity survey shall be performedfor each furnace and salt bath to ensure

30、 compliance withtemperature uniformity requirements (see 4.2) and the require-ments presented herein.4.3.1 A new temperature uniformity survey shall be madeafter any modification, repair, adjustment (for example, topower controls, or baffles), or re-build which alters the tem-perature uniformity cha

31、racteristics of the furnace or salt bathand changes the effectiveness of the heat treatment.4.3.2 The initial temperature survey shall be made at themaximum and minimum temperature of solution heat treat-ments and precipitation heat treatments for which each furnaceis to be used. There shall be at l

32、east one test location for each25 ft30.69 m3 of air furnace volume up to a maximum of 40test locations, with a minimum of nine test locations, one ineach corner and one in the center. For salt-bath furnaces, onetest location is required for each 40 ft31.1 m3 of volume.4.3.3 After the initial survey,

33、 each furnace shall be surveyedmonthly thereafter, except as provided in 4.3.8 and 4.3.9. Themonthly survey shall be at one operating temperature forsolution heat treatment and one operating temperature forprecipitation heat treatment.TABLE 1 Tests RequiredProductFormTensilePropertiesAHeat-Treat-Ind
