T_511 Applies to extruded rod, bar, shapes and tube
and to drawn tube when stretched the indicated
amounts after solution heat-treatment or after
cooling from an elevated temperature shaping
process. These products may receive minor
straightening after stretching to comply with
standard tolerances.

T_51 Applies to plate and rolled or cold-finished
rod and bar when stretched the indicated
