Heat Treatment
HAYNES® 188 alloy is normally solution heat treated in the range of 2125-2175°F for a time to commensurate with section thickness. Annealing during fabrication can be performed at even lower temperatures, but a final, subsequent solution heat treatment is needed to produce optimum properties and structure.
