    Heat treatement for aluminiun

    What kind of heat treatment to Aluminium alloy could be to put it on a chamber at -40ºC-F , incoming temperature is ambient.

    I was asked to build such chamber , but not further info was given .

    Thanks in advance

    I don't know... Solution heat treatments of aluminum utilize temperature ranges of around 500C and precipitation heat treatment around 330C for most aluminum alloys.

    Sure your not building an environmental testing chamber or thermal cycle chamber?

    Ok time out!

    There is a low temperature stabilization treatment process sometimes used for 5 xxx series aluminum alloys. I don't know the applicable temperatures
