Effect of quenching medium, solution treatment, and aging parameters on mechanical properties of Aluminum alloy 6061 by Pshtiwan Karim, Rekawt Amin, Hawre Amin, Abbas Khwakaram, Omer Mahmood

“…It was observed that the best result was achieved by aging at 195 ℃ for 4 hours, increasing the ultimate tensile strength to 351.413 N/mm2 from the initial value of 260 N/mm2 for the as-received specimen; this is attributed to the formation of finely dispersed grains. In contrast, the ultimate tensile strength for the annealing condition decreased to 152.020 N/mm2 due to forming a coarser grain size. …”
