Annealing 2024-T4 aluminum

(OP)
The shop has heat treated a batch of parts made of 2024-0 alclad .032" thick to T4 temper. The parts were not correctly formed and we want to anneal the parts, correct them and then re-heat treat to T4.  What temp do we heat them to, how long to soak and length of cool down.  Any help?

Old revision MIL-H-6088. Available Free.

Are you sure they didn't warp during Heat Treat?
