The difference between aluminum alloy tube T6 and T5 treatment

1. The definitions are different

T6 treatment: the state of artificial aging after solid solution heat treatment.

T5 treatment: cooled by the high-temperature molding process, and then artificially aged.

2.the application is different

T6 treatment: suitable for products that are no longer cold working after solution heat treatment (can be straightened and flattened, but do not affect the limit of performance), and then artificially aged.

T5 treatment: It is suitable for products that are cooled by the high-temperature molding process without cold processing (can be straightened and flattened, but do not affect the limit of performance), and then artificially aged.

3. the hardness is different

1. T6 treatment: hardness is HB90-95

2. T5 treatment: hardness is HB95
