No, you just can't quench the metal when it is really hot. Even though the alloy is not heat treatable, if you quench it when it is really hot it will become brittle.
Think about rolling out a plate of aluminum to make sheet. The plate is rolled and rolled and rolled. It is annealed along the way and it doesn't make the aluminum any more brittle.
