Usual heating methods include,but are not limited to, induction, flame impingement, or forced air. Contr
23、ols shall be adequate to ensure that the equipment canbe operated in a manner which precludes overheating of the billet or deleterious contamination of the billet by the furnaceenvironment. Induction equipment may require measurement of thermal gradients along the billet. Flame impingement devicesre

Billet temperature shall be monitored and controlled to the extent that the extrusion billet is not to exceed themaximum temperature shown in Table 1 prior to extrusion
25、(see Note 1).NOTE 1Some aspects of the metallurgical structure of the alloy after solution heat treatment are influenced by the thermal characteristics of the heatingequipment used, and the starting microstructure of the billet/log. Some heating equipment achieves very rapid temperature rise and may
26、 require the metalto be soaked for a period to ensure that sufficient applicable alloying elements are taken into solid solution. This soaking stage may be eliminated if thealloying elements are substantially in solid solution prior to charging the metal to the heating equipment (this being accompli
