We offer T5 and T6 heat treatment for forged aluminum parts, such as forged 6061-T6 aluminum, selected based on the strength, machinability, and application requirements of your project.
Cooled from elevated temperature shaping process + artificial aging. Moderate strength improvement. Better machinability than T6.
Solution heat treatment, quenching and artificial aging are used to increase strength, hardness and mechanical performance for forged aluminum parts.
Our forging workflow helps control die design, billet heating, forming, heat treatment, CNC machining and final inspection.

FAQ
Hot forging heats the aluminum to improve formability and grain flow, while closed-die forging uses precision dies to produce parts with higher strength, tighter dimensional accuracy, and better consistency. We select the appropriate method based on your part's geometry, strength requirements, and production volume.
As a general pattern: forging gives the highest strength for demanding, high-stress applications; casting suits complex shapes at higher volumes and lower cost; and machining from billet suits lower volumes or parts needing tight tolerances without tooling investment. The right choice depends on your part's load requirements, quantity, and geometry — share your drawing and we can help you evaluate the tradeoffs.
T6 heat treatment increases the strength of forged aluminum parts compared to their untreated condition, making it the standard temper for structural and load-bearing forged components.
Forged aluminum parts typically go through dimensional inspection and material verification to confirm they meet drawing and mechanical requirements before shipment. Specific inspection steps can be confirmed based on your project's requirements.
