Description / Abstract:
Form:
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of
rolled or forged rings.
Application:
These rings have been used typically to form moderately high
strength structural machined parts where good stability is required
during machining, but usage is not limited to such
applications.
This material is not recommended for fusion welding.
Certain design and fabricating procedures may cause these
products to become subject to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP 823
recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
Classification:
The rings covered by this specification are classified by type
of mechanical stress relief as follows:
Type 1-Stress relieved by stretching (2014-T651)
Type 2-Stress relieved by compression (2014-T652).
Either type may be supplied, unless a specific type is
ordered.
