Form:

This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of die forgings, hand forgings, rolled rings, and stock for forging or rolled rings.

Application:

These products have been used typically for applications requiring high strength in light-to-medium sections, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
