Description / Abstract:
Form
This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of die forgings 1.000 to 12.000 inches inclusive (25 to 305 mm) in nominal thickness at the time of heat treatment and of forging stock (see 8.4).
Application
These forgings have been used typically for machined structural parts subject to warpage during machining and requiring high strength and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking, but usage is not limited to such application.
