Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of sheet and plate 0.020 to 2.000 inches (0.51 to 50.80 mm), inclusive, in nominal thickness, supplied in the annealed (O) condition (see 8.4). When specified, product shall be supplied in the “as fabricated” (F) temper.
Application
These products have been used typically for parts requiring high strength up to 500°F (260°C) after heat treatment, but usage is not limited to such applications. May be welded and formed in the specified condition but properties are improved by heat treatment.
