Name
Description and Application
F
Free Processing

Applicable for products that have no special requirements on hardening and heat treatment during processing. The mechanical properties are not required.

O
Annealing

Applicable for products with the lowest strength after complete annealing
H
Processing and Hardening

Applicable for products that are hardened to improve the strength. The products can be additionally heat treated (not required) to reduce the strength after hardening. The H sould be followed by 2 or 3 digits.

W
Solid Solution Heat Treatment


An unstable state. Applicable only for alloys that are being natural ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. The cide indicates that the product is in natural ageing state.

T
Heat Treatment (Different to F, O, H)

Applicable for products that have stable states via hardening (not required) after heat treatment. The T should be followed by 1 or more digits.

HXY Subdivided State Codes and Processing Hardness

Subdivided State Code
Processing Hardness
HX1
The tensile strength limit is between 0 and HX2 states.
HX2
The tensile strength limit is between 0 and HX4 states.
HX3
The tensile strength limit is between HX2 and HX4 states.
HX4
The tensile strength limit is between 0 and HX8 states.
HX5
The tensile strength limit is between HX4 and HX6 states.
HX6
The tensile strength limit is between HX4 and HX8 states.
HX7
The tensile strength limit is between HX6 and HX8 states.
HX8
Hard
HX9
ltrahard, the minimum tensile strength limit is at least 10MPa higher than HX8.

Notes: When the tensile strength limit of HX1-HX9 state doesn't end with o or 5, the limit should be adjusted to the higher value in the neighboring figures end with 0 or 5.


Description and Application TX Subdivided State Codes
State Code
Description and Application
T0
The state of alloy that is natural ageing treated and cold processed after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are cold processed to increase the strength
T1
The stable state of alloy that is natural ageing treated after high temperature forming. Applicable for products that are not cold processed (straightening and flattening is allowed if mechanical properties are not changed) after high temperature forming
T2
The stable state of alloy that is natural ageing treated after high temperature forming. Applicable for products that are cold processed, straightened or flattened to increase the strength after high temperature forming
T3
The stable state of alloy that is cold processed and natural ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are cold processed, straightened or flattened to increase the strength after solid solution heat treatment
T4
The stable state of alloy that is natural ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are not cold processed (straightening and flattening is allowed if mechanical properties are not changed) after solid solution heat treatment
T5
The state of alloy that is manual ageing treated after high temperature treatment. Applicable for products that are manual ageing treated but not cold processed (straightening and flattening is allowed if mechanical properties are not changed) after high temperature forming
T6
The state of alloy that is manual ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are not cold processed (straightening and flattening is allowed if mechanical properties are not changed) after solid solution heat treatment
T7
The state of alloy that is ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products whose strength surmounts the peak point in ageing curve to maintain certain important properties during manual ageing treatment
T8
The state of alloy that is cold processed, manual ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are cold processed, straightened or flattened to increase the strength
T9
The state of alloy that is cold processed, manual ageing treated after solid solution heat treatment. Applicable for products that are cold processed to increase the strength
T10
The state of alloy that is cold processed, manual ageing treated after high temperature treatment Applicable for products that are cold processed, straightened or flattened to increase the strength
Notes: Some alloys in 6XX category can achieve the same solid solution heat treatment performance whether they are treated in furnaces, or rapid cooled during high-temperature forming to retain their soluble ingredients in solid solution. The T3, T4, T6, T7, T8 and T9 states of the alloys can be heat treated in either of the two methods.

State Code
Description and Application
T42
Applicable for products that are natural ageing treated to stable state after 0 or F solid solution treatment. Also applicable for any product that has the required mechanical properties of T42 after heat treatment
T62

T73
Applicable for products that are ageing treated to required mechanical and stress corrosion resistant performance after solid solution heat treatment
T74
Same to T73 state. The tensile strength is better than that of T73, but is lower than T76.
T76
Same to T73 State. The tensile strength of this state is higher than that of T73 and T74 states. The stress corrosion and breaking resistant performance is lower than that of T73 and T74 states, but the flaking resistant resistant performance is better.
