Form:

This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of sheet clad on both sides with a different aluminum alloy.

Application:

This sheet has been used typically for components requiring good strength, corrosion resistance, high toughness, and resistance to fatigue crack growth, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Certain design and processing procedures may cause this sheet to become susceptible to stresscorrosion cracking; ARP823 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
