The fraction of grain boundaries with high misorientation angles increased progressively during annealing, to 77% at annealing temperature of 350°C. The chemical composition of the 6061 Al alloy sheets used in the present work was (in wt %): 0.9 Mg, 0.71 Si, 0.5 Fe, 0.24 Cu, 0.19 Cr, 0.12 Mn, 0.05 Zn, 0.05 Ti, with Al comprising the
May 16, 2018 Aging aluminum 6061 is done between 350 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and—depending on thickness and other factors—the parts stay in the oven for 12-24 hours. Following this aging, the parts are now at a T6
Jul 31, 2017 But aluminum melts at only about 1,260 degrees, so it loses about half of its strength by the time it reaches 600 degrees. This means the strength of welded 6061-T6, which is 25 KSI at room temperature, is only about half of that (12 KSI) at 600 degrees. Even at only 350 degrees, its strength is only 17 to 18
Sep 23, 2013 Second, the artificial aging temperature for 6061-T6 (second step that strengthens the product) is 320-350 F, so any amount of time spent at 750 F definiy caused softening by overaging the precipitates. You should not heat 6061-T6 above 350-400 F unless you can tolerate significantly lower
6061: Anneal at 775 F, hold for 2-3 hours at temperature, then air cool. 7075: Anneal at 775 F for 3 hours, then cool to 500 F at a rate of 50 F per hour, then air cool. This is fussy stuff to work
Aug 17, 2018 When you are bending 0.25-in.-thick 6061-T6, cracking can occur when bending past an external angle of just degrees. Chances are that you’ll never make it to 90 degrees, much less make it to an external angle of 100 degrees. Heating Aluminum In my 40-plus years in the trade I have bent quite a lot of 6061-T6
Apr 22, 2009 The temperature that it can be safely raised to depends on the length of time at that temp. Per Alcoa for 6061-T6: 375 F for 1-2 hrs, 400 F for 30 minutes, 425 for 15 minutes, 450 for 5 minutes. Not recommended heating about these temps. At the above temps the loss of strength will be less than
DRV. This indicates the main softening mechanism of 6061 alloy in this condition is DRV.

Sep 08, 2015 I\'m looking to soften the 6061-T6 so I can do a crimping / forming operation. Annealing should be done at 775°F for at 2 to 3 hours at temperature, followed by controlled cooling at 50°F per hour down to 500°F then air cooled.
