Overage

The heat-treatable alloys may overage (soften) with time at temperature due to the coalescence of the precipitate particles which, when present in a smaller dispersed size, enhance roomtemperature strength.

Structures that have been precipitation hardened to peak values may overage, and steels that have been hardened and tempered may overtemper.

You're entitled to bring a bag weighing fifty pounds onto the airplane, and will be charged extra for any overage.
