After welding (GTAW) A356 T6 aluminum casting is it necessary to heat treat the casting again to obtain T6 properties. This is not foundry welding but a repair of a cracked casting that is already in the T6 condition. Will the casting ever reach T6 during room temperture aging? How long will it take?
