AMS 2771 page 11 (and 12) Table 2
Soak times are mentioned either as a single value (and in this case it says minimum) or as a range.
Also, the note 13 says that "Soak times are recommendations, other times may be required depending upon casting configuration and property requirements"
Example:
For A356.0 we have
T6 - 310 deg F - Soak time 3-6 hours
T61 - 310 deg F - Soak time 6-10 hours
If a customer requires T6 condition but in order to obtain the mechanical properties I have to maintain (soak time) for 7 hours, do I certify that as a T6 or T61?
Thank you in advance for help
