✦ Synopsis

The reader should understand at the outset that this chapter is intended to present only an overview of the heat treating of nonferrous alloys. First, a brief discussion of the effects of cold work and annealing on nonferrous alloys is presented. This is followed by discussion of the mechanisms involved in the more common heat treating procedures used for hardening or strengthening-solution treating and aging. No attempt is made in this treatise to cover the more complex procedures required for duplex structures which characterize some nonferrous alloys, notably titanium and copper alloys. For more complete information on the heat treating of nonferrous alloys and the properties that may be obtained, see
