Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of bars,
rods, and wire in the "as fabricated (F) temper. When specified,
product shall be supplied in the annealed (O) condition.
Application
These products have been typically used for parts requiring
forming and as stock for flash welded rings which are to be
subsequently solution and precipitation heat treated, but usage is
not limited to such applications.
Certain design and processing procedures may cause these
products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking after
solution and precipitation heat treatment; ARP823 recommends
practices to minimize such conditions.
