The transformation temperature of α+β↔β phase is 750~770℃
After solution treatment in the β phase region, the alloy is a single β phase after air cooling or water quenching, and the microstructure after slow cooling is a small amount of α phase distributed on the β phase matrix. The structure of solid solution aging treatment (480~675°C) is composed of β phase and α phase.
Select the solution treatment temperature in the range of 760~815℃ or 790~815℃. The usual solution treatment system is 800℃±15℃, 3~30min, air cooling or faster cooling.
The aging temperature is 480~675℃, and the aging time is 2~24h. According to the strength level, three aging systems are usually adopted, and the temperature fluctuation range is ±6℃.
