Solution heat treatment |
| Back to Case study | |
| Solution heat treatment Lesson/Tutorial | This is the first heat treatment involved in precipitation hardening. It involves first heating an alloy to a temperature within a single-phase region. Next, the alloy is rapidly cooled to a low temperature in a region where this first phase coexists with a second phase. The rapid cool does not allow time for the formation of the second phase and a supersaturated single-phase solid solution results. This alloy is now weak and soft. |
