I understand that TIG welding 6061-T6 aluminum takes the "heat treatment" (strength?) out of the aluminum, but that in time it will return to about T4 strength through natural ageing. Can anyone offer information to confirm or contradict this? If time "brings it back", how much time?? The material in question is .058" wall, 6061-T6 aluminum tubing.

Thanks, in advance!

Lynn
