| T1 |
Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and naturally aged. |
| T3 |
Solution heat-treated, cold worked and naturally aged. |
| T351 |
Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching (permanent set 0.5% to 3% for sheet, 1.5% to 3% for plate, 1% to 3% for rolled or cold-finished rod and bar, 1% to 5% for hand or ring forging and rolled ring) and naturally aged. The products receive no further straightening after |
| T3510 |
Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching (permanent set 1% to 3% for extruded rod, bar, shapes and tube, 0.5% to 3% for drawn tube) and naturally aged. The products receive no further straightening after stretching. |
