How can I achieve T6 mechanical properties in Aluminium 6061 extrusion?

[Tejasp56]

Hello,

Can anybody help me for below problem?

We have done extrusion of 6061 material and we achieve T6 hardness after 8-10 hour edging process.

Now the problem is...when we have check mechanical properties of aluminium then it is not matching with T6 mechanical properties.

Can anyone help me how to achieve mechanical properties?

You are a PhD student, so you have access to an engineering library. Look for the ASM Metals Handbook set. They have an entire volume on heat treating nonferrous alloys.
