Form:

This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of alclad sheet and plate.

Application:

These products have been used typically for parts requiring high strength up to 600 °F (316 °C) and are also well suited for cryogenic applications and where welding and maximum corrosion-resistance are required, 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 heat treatment; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
