Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers two tempers of aluminum alloy in the form of bars, rods, and wire up to 8.000 inches (203.2 mm) in nominal thickness (see 8.6).
Application
These products have been used typically for parts requiring good strength and whose fabrication does not involve welding, but usage is not limited to such applications.
Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
