Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of
sheet.
Application
This sheet has been used typically for severely formed
structural parts which will be subsequently heat treated and
painted or otherwise protected from corrosion, but usage is not
limited to such applications.
Certain design and processing procedures may cause these
products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking after
heat treatment; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such
conditions.
