Shield construction and placement shall be such as to prevent parts from being exposed to re-radiation of heat from electrical elements or radiant tubes. Composition and ma

22、le to within 10 F (6 C), or 5 F (3 C) as applicable, of the set temperature during furnace uniformity tests shall not exceed the following: 3.1.2.2.1 Furnaces Tested Without a Load 20 minutes. 3.1.2.2.2 Furnaces Tested With a Load 40 minutes. 3.1.2.3 Furnaces Used for Alclad Material Heat input of f
23、urnaces used for solution heat treating of parts made from alclad product shall be sufficient to ensure conformance to 3.3.4. 3.1.3 Racks and Fixtures Shall be constructed so as to preclude entrapment of water, molten salt and/or water/polymer solutions. 3.1.4 Quenching Equipment 3.1.4.1 Equipment s
24、hall be provided for quenching in water, and/or water/polymer solutions, and for measuring quenchant temperature.

SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2770N Page 4 of 20 3.1.5 Refrigeration Equipment Refrigerators, dry ice boxes, or liquid baths shall be provided for cold storage of parts when retention of the as-quenched (AQ) temper is required. Refrigerators
27、, dry ice boxes with fans and liquid baths shall be equipped with a temperature recorder.

28、ing a heat treatment to produce a final “T” temper shall be solution heat treated (including quenching), refrigerated when necessary, and aged when required, as specified herein (see 8.8.1). Heat treatment shall be performed only on entire parts, never on a portion or section of a part. 3.2.2 Cleani
29、ng Prior to solution heat treating or annealing, parts shall be clean and visually free of contaminants such as dirt, metal residues, lubricants and solvent residues. Residue from heating and quenching media shall be removed from parts after any heat treatment step. 3.2.3 Racking and Spacing 3.2.3.1
30、 Parts, except rivets and other small parts (see 3.2.3.2), shall be racked or supported to permit free access of the heating and quenching media to all surfaces of parts in all portions of the load. 3.2.3.1.1 Solution Heat Treating Parts, 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) and under in nominal thickness, shall be
31、 separated by not less than 1 inch (25 mm). Thicker parts shall be separated by at least 1 inch (25 mm) plus the part thickness. (Complex parts and parts of large plan form (see 8.8.12) may require greater separation.) 3.2.3.1.2 Aging, Annealing and Stress Relieving Parts shall be separated by not l
32、ess than 1 inch (25 mm) except thin parts may be nested providing thickness of nested stacks does not exceed 1 inch (25 mm) and stacks are at least 1 inch (25 mm) apart. 3.2.3.2 Rivets and Other Small Parts May be heated and soaked in baskets or in continuous furnaces. Arrangement in baskets may be
33、either orderly or random. Parts may touch but shall not be nested in a manner that prevents free access of the quench media to most surfaces. Maximum thickness of layers of rivets or parts in baskets or on a moving belt, and minimum space between layers, shall be 2 inches (51 mm). 3.2.4 Salt Entrapm
34、ent Parts that can entrap salt shall be racked so as to preclude salt entrapment as much as practicable. 3.2.5 Soaking 3.2.5.1 Start of Soaking Time Soaking time starts when all temperature control, recording and monitoring sensors reach the minimum of the uniformity tolerance range specified in 3.1
35、.1.1, 3.1.1.2, or 3.1.1.3, as applicable. Load sensors should not be used to determine start of soaking time (see 8.3). SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2770N Page 5 of 20 3.2.5.1.1 Start of Soaking Time for Rivets and Other Small Parts in Baskets or On Moving Belts For such parts the start of soaking time may
36、be experimentally established by testing like material of the same nominal thickness using load sensor to establish the heating time required for the parts to reach the minimum of the uniformity tolerance range specified in 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.2, or 3.1.1.3, as applicable. 3.2.5.2 Soaking Times The minim
37、um soaking time for solution heat treating shall conform to Table 3 based on the thickness (minimum dimension of the heaviest section) at the time of heat treatment (see 8.4). The minimum soaking times for the second step of 7475 solution heat treatment are 15 minutes for alclad and 60 minutes for b
38、are product. For all alclad products, the maximum soaking time is 10 minutes longer than the minimum. 3.2.5.2.1 Soaking Time for Rivets and Other Small Parts in Baskets or on Moving Belts The minimum soaking time shall either conform to Table 3 based on the full depth of the parts in the basket or b
39、elt or, when start of soak has been determined in accordance with 3.2.5.1.1 may be based on the part thickness (minimum dimension of the heaviest section) at the time of heat treatment (8.4). 3.2.5.3 Interruptions During solution heat treatment, soaking shall be performed without interruption. Durin
40、g aging, annealing, stress relieving, and heat treatment to the O1 (formerly T411) temper, a maximum of four interruptions, with doors open for not more than 2 minutes during each, is permissible for removal or loading of parts. Door opening durations greater than 2 minutes are permitted provided th
41、e time between the door opening and recovery of furnace temperature is not included in the total time. 3.3 Solution Heat Treating - Heating and Soaking 3.3.1 Temperature Parts that require solution heat treatment shall be soaked at the temperature specified in Table 2. 3.3.2 Furnace Temperature Stab
42、ilization 3.3.2.1 For air furnace loads where the previous load was at a higher set temperature, or the prior temperature uniformity test was in a loaded furnace, furnaces shall be stabilized at the new set temperature before loading parts. 3.3.2.2 If the prior temperature uniformity test was in an
43、unloaded furnace, furnace loads of non-clad material may be loaded in a cold furnace or furnace whose previous set temperature was below the new set temperature. 3.3.2.3 For parts made from alclad material, furnaces shall be stabilized at the set temperature before loading parts. 3.3.3 Prevention of
44、 Hydrogen Induced Porosity Entrapped water shall be prevented from entering the furnace. The loading of parts directly from a water-containing quench tank (i.e., wet parts), into a furnace is prohibited. Ammonium fluoborate, or equivalent, should be used in air furnaces as necessary; however, purgin
45、g the furnace with fresh air may be necessary to prevent discoloration of subsequent loads of parts made from alclad product. 3.3.4 Recovery Time for Alclad Parts For solution heat treating of parts made from alclad product under 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) thick, the furnace recovery time shall not exceed
46、 30 minutes and for parts made from heavier alclad product, shall not exceed 60 minutes. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2770N Page 6 of 20 3.3.5 Multiple Solution Heat Treatments of Alclad Product Parts made from product over 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) in nominal thickness shall be limited to two solution heat trea
47、tments in addition to any by the material producer. Parts made from product 0.020 inch to 0.125 inch (0.51 mm to 3.18 mm) in nominal thickness, shall be limited to one additional solution heat treatment in addition to any by the raw material producer. For parts made from product under 0.020 inch (0.
48、51 mm) in nominal thickness, additional solution heat treatments are prohibited. 3.4 Solution Heat Treating - Quenching 3.4.1 Following completion of the required soaking, parts shall be quenched by immersion in water or in a water/polymer solution conforming to the requirements of Table 4, except w
49、here the use of alternate quenched media is allowed for 6xxx series alloy parts per 3.4.6. Parts are in the AQ (as-quenched) temper immediately after quenching (see 8.8.7). 3.4.2 Quenchant Temperature At the start of quench, quenchant temperature shall not exceed 90 F (32 C) except when water quenching parts made from forgings. When quenching parts made from forgings, the start of quench water
