The purpose of heat treatment of aluminum alloy

If metal and alloy materials are heated to a certain temperature in the solid state, and kept at this temperature for a certain period of time, and then cooled to room temperature at a certain cooling rate, the internal structure and mechanical properties of metal and alloy materials can be changed to meet the requirements of people's use. This treatment method is called heat treatment.

 
In mechanical manufacturing and metal material production, heat treatment is a strict and very important production process that must be taken seriously.
Any heat treatment process includes three stages: heating, heat preservation and cooling.
Heat treatment is to change and control the structure and properties of materials only through heating and cooling operations while constantly changing the shape and size of the product.

 
Heat treatment focuses on studying the law of change between the structure and properties of metals and temperature, so as to achieve the purpose of continuously improving and controlling the internal structure and mechanical properties of metal materials and products.

 
In the production of aluminum sheets and aluminum coils, people not only carry out corresponding heat treatment to improve and control the final mechanical properties of finished aluminum sheets and aluminum coils, but also carry out appropriate heat treatment during the processing process to improve and enhance the processing performance of ingots or intermediate billets.
