Annealing at 315-345 C for 2-4 hours (O temper) provides maximum stress relief of castings, but has significantly lower mechanical properties than a typical solution treated + artificially aged (T6) temper. Castings that require heat treatment should be heat treated after welding. The following is an excerpt from the article "Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Castings" that appears in ASM HANDBOOK Volume 15 (2008) Casting: Postweld Heat Treatment.
