RE: aluminum heat treatment
the problem was that i work in an aluminum extruder as a mechanical maintenance engineer and i had a problem with the aging oven. Bearings and shafts inside get damaged before planned maintenance time and while following up i found that they perform aging process at 360F for 6 hours for (T5) temper.i think it's too long time and for t5 temper and it may be the cause for excessive thermal stress on bearings inside....
any comments on that???
