10. Producer Confirmation of Heat-Treat Response
10.1 In addition to the requirements of Section 8, material in
alloys 2014, 2024, and 6061 produced in the O or F temper ( within the size limits specified in Table 2) shall, after proper solution heat treatment and natural aging for not less than 4 days at room temperature, conform to the properties specified in Table 2 for T42 temper material. The heat-treated sample may be tested prior to 4 days natural aging but if they fail to conform to the T42 temper properties, the test may be repeated after completion of 4 days natural aging without prejudice
10.2 Alloys 2219, 7075, and 7178 material produced in the O or F temper, within the size limits specified in Table 2)shall after proper solution heat treatment and precipitation heat treatment, conform to the properties specified in Table 2 for 162 temper material.
