Specific requirements for strength and toughness can be developed by forging and finishing in a wide range of combinations of temperature and section reduction, as well as by selection of heat treatment parameters. Consultation with the alloy supplier is strongly recommended. One example of the manufacturing possibilities is:
• Forging – Rough 871-927°C (1600-1000°F)
• Solution Treating – 752-754°C (1385-1425°F), 1 hr, WQ.
• Ageing – 482-510°C (900-950°F), 8 hrs, AC.
• Weldability - Fair
