An object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for manufacturing an aluminum alloy plastically-processed article, capable of preventing a burning crack from occurring due to processing heat generated during plasticity processing while maintaining a solution-treatment temperature of an aluminum alloy material for ensuring a mechanical strength thereof. A method for manufacturing an aluminum alloy plastically-processed article, includes a step of performing a solution treatment for an aluminum alloy material by heating and maintaining the aluminum alloy material at a solution-treatment temperature, a step of performing plasticity processing for the aluminum alloy material subjected to the solution treatment, and steps of cooling the plastically-processed aluminum alloy material at a time at which the step of the plasticity processing is completed, and aging the cooled aluminum alloy material. The method further includes pre-plasticity-processing cooling step of cooling the aluminum alloy material subjected to the solution treatment.

A method for heat treating metal materials by passing electrical current through a metallic workpiece to heat the workpiece via Joule heating to a preselected temperature for a preselected period of time, based upon the formula I.sup.2×R×t, wherein I is current, R is resistance and t is time. The current may be a direct or an alternating one. Various configurations of the method are envisioned wherein multiple current inputs and outputs are attached to the metal material so as to selectively heat specific portions of the piece including irregular shapes and differing diameters.

Provided is a production method of an aluminum alloy forging for an automobile suspension having a disturbance affectable surface with not excessively notch-sensitive. The production method includes, as heat treatment processes, a solution heat treatment process, a quenching process, and an artificial age hardening process. The quenching process is performed by bringing a lower surface of the aluminum forging to be disposed on a ground side when assembled to the automobile into contact with water before an upper surface of the aluminum forging opposite to the lower surface is brought into contact with the water.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel internal-combustion engine piston which makes it possible to achieve both an improvement in thermal efficiency and a reduction in exhaust harmful components, and to suppress the occurrence of abnormal combustion such as knocking and pre-ignition. A cooling passage is formed in a piston, and on a top face of the piston are provided a first heat shielding layer composed of a material having a lower thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat than those of a piston base material, and a second heat shielding layer composed of a material having a lower thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat than those of the first heat shielding layer, wherein a first distance between the first heat shielding layer and the cooling passage is set to be less than a second distance between the second heat shielding layer and the cooling passage. A cooling loss can be reduced by the second heat shielding layer, and the vaporization of fuel adhering to the piston can be promoted by the first heat shielding layer to reduce exhaust gas harmful components. Since the first distance is less than the second distance, the temperature of the first heat shielding layer does not rise excessively, whereby the occurrence of knocking and pre-ignition can be suppressed.
