Solution heat treat at 540 C for 4-12 hours
Quench into hot water: ~ 65-100 C
Artificial aging treatment is usually 155 C for 3-5 hours
RE: Heat treatment of wheels
Automotive wheels are made in different materials: Steel, Aluminum Alloys, Magnesium Alloys etc.
Heat-treatment is done differently for different Alloys. Can you be more specific as to which Alloy you are referring to?
