T6 quench finds every sharp fillet
ReworkA356Other2/5 confidence
What we learned
What worked
Nothing yet. The fillet is being opened to R6 in the next revision.
What failed
Sending as cast parts with a sharp fork root straight into a water quench. Two of four cracked.
War story
The castings were perfect out of the mold. Heat treat is part of the process and it deserves its own trial, not a note at the end of someone else's.
