Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of
rolled or forged rings.
Application
These rings have been used typically for structural applications
requiring material with moderate strength and excellent resistance
to stress-corrosion cracking and where good stability is required
during machining, but usage is not limited to such applications.
Alloy is further characterized by excellent fusion
weldability.
Classification
Rings covered by this specification are classified by type of
mechanical stress relief as follows:
Type 1 Stress relieved by stretching (6061T651)
Type 2 Stress relieved by compression (6061T652)
Either type may be supplied, unless a specific type is
ordered.
