Paint Bake Cycle<br />
18<br />
Al alloys used for automotive applications undergo<br />
a paint bake cycle which may have an effect on<br />
the material’s properties given that many Al alloys<br />
are artificially aged around this temperature<br />
Baking Conditions:<br />
180°C for 20 mins then air cool, reheat to 180°C for 30 mins<br />
All base material samples with the exception <strong>of</strong><br />
5754-O tested in this condition<br />
All welds were tested in this condition which is<br />
meant to simulate the paint bake cycle.
