Makes sense. That precipitation hardened steel works alot like aluminum. Except we water quenched the aluminum after solution then aged it.

to the extent of my knowledge (which is to say, not much) aluminum is commonly precipitation hardened by copper. I have no idea if there's anything to stabilize the solutes like you can do with nickel in iron. My boss at work would know - his specialization is aluminum. His Ph.D is a really slick project on improving both the toughness and strength of aluminum through different processing methods (normally you trade one for the other).
