Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of
extruded bars, rods, wire, profiles (shapes) and tubing.
Application
These extrusions have been used typically for structural
applications requiring a combination of high tensile and
compressive strength and good corrosion resistance, but usage is
not limited to such applications.
Certain processing procedures may cause this product to become
susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP823 recommends
practices to minimize such conditions.
