out. The process also contributes to an increase in the<br />
electrical conductivity.<br />
Stabilization:<br />
Age hardening and precipitation processes can still con -<br />
tinue at high operating temperatures and lead to small<br />
changes in volume which can for example cause distortion.<br />
These processes are impeded by stabilization<br />
annealing above the working temperature for several<br />
hours, followed by cooling in air.<br />
Stress relief annealing:<br />
This is used for the elimination of internal stresses, which<br />
for example occur with rapid cooling or after mechanical<br />
machining. It is necessary to ensure a low cooling rate,<br />
which is well achieved by cooling in the furnace.<br />
Homogenisation:<br />
This is used for the elimination of segregations and pre -<br />
cipitations in castings. In accordance with their solubility<br />
the phases occurring at the cell boundaries are either<br />
dissolved in the crystal lattice or spheroidi zed. Al alloys<br />
with a high Mg content are subjected to homogenisation<br />
annealing and quenching in air.<br />
MAGNESIUM<br />
As with Al castings, heat treatment of Mg castings is<br />
also used for increasing the mechanical properties,<br />
reduction of internal stresses and stabilisation. How ever,<br />
an increase in the mechanical properties is not always<br />
based on classical solution annealing with quenching.<br />
It sometimes involves precipitation treatments from<br />
the as cast condition, which simultaneously produce a<br />
reduction in the internal stresses.<br />
Age hardening of the EN-MC 95320 alloy is produced<br />
by solution treatment, quenching and artificially aging.<br />
With the MgAlZn alloys preliminary annealing serves for<br />

the solution and spheroidization of specific intermetallic<br />
phases and is equivalent to homogenization. Heat<br />
treatment of the EN-MC 65110 alloy in creases the yield<br />
strength, although it is only carried out for stress relieval<br />
purposes.<br />
For safety reasons, with treatments above 350°C pro -<br />
tec tive gas (inert gas) is fed into the furnace in order to<br />
prevent a fire hazard. This can for example be achieved<br />
by the addition of pyrites to the furnace.<br />
