heating to add coating destroys strength of aluminum part.
(OP)
Some aluminum alloys have their strength destroyed when subjected to high heat and some can be re heat-treated and brought back to a high strength condition. Does someone have a good link to which materials exhibit this characteristic and what mechanism causes this?
I have a part that we are trying to put a coating onto and the coating requires a soak at 800F.
Thanks,

The question is, after applying the coating at the high temperature, is the aluminum forever going to be compromised, or can I then process it through heat treat cycle and get a good yield strength back say 40ksi or better? (lets say comparable to a 6061 T-6 or 2024 T-3
Why aluminum? This application requires good heat transfer and using steal will slow down the process significantly
