| Temper | Definition |
|---|---|
| O | Annealed |
| H112 | Slightly strain harden from working at an elevated temperature or from limited amount of cold work |
| T5 | Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and then artificially aged |
| T6 | Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged |
| T66 | Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged - mechanical property level higher than T6 achieved through special control of the process (6000 series alloys) |
| T6511 | Solution heated-treaded, stress-relieved by stretching a controlled amount (permanent set 1% to 3% for extruded rod, bar, shapes and tube, 0.5% to 3% for drawn tube) and then artificially aged. Minor straightening is allowed after stretching to comply with standard tolerances |
