    Does heat treating drawn 6XXX aluminum (POST drawing/forming) add any benefit?

    By this I mean is you take an aluminum alloy that has already been heat treated, say 6061-T6. Stamp/draw it into a part and then heat treat it again, does this add and strength or stiffness to the part? Is this common practice for any type of part? If so where is it used?  Thanks
