A unique combination of properties makes aluminum one of our mostversatile engineering and construction materials. A mere recital of itscharacteristics is impressive. It is light in mass, yet some of its alloyshave strengths greater than that of structural steel. It has highresistance to corrosion under the majority of service conditions, andno colored salts are formed to stain adjacent surfaces or discolorproducts with which it comes into contact, such as fabrics in thetextile industry and solutions in chemical equipment. It has no toxicreaction. It has good electrical and thermal conductivities and highreflectivity to both heat and light. The metal can easily be worked intoany form and readily accepts a wide variety of surface finishes.

Lightness is one of aluminum’s most useful characteristics. Thespecific gravity is about 2.7. The mass (“weight”) of aluminum isroughly 35 percent that of iron and 30 percent that of copper.

Commercially pure aluminum has a tensile strength of about 13,000pounds per square inch. Thus its usefulness as a structural materialin this form is somewhat limited. By working the metal, as by coldrolling, its strength can be approximately doubled. Much largerincreases in strength can be obtained by alloying aluminumwith smallpercentages of one or more other elements such as manganese,silicon, copper, magnesium or zinc. Like pure aluminum, the alloysare also made stronger by cold working. Some of the alloys arefurther strengthened and hardened by heat treatments so that todayaluminum alloys having tensile strengths approaching 100,000pounds per square inch are available.

A wide variety of mechanical characteristics, or tempers, is availablein aluminum alloys through various combinations of could work andheat treatment. In specifying the temper for any given product, thefabricating process and the amount of cold work to which it willsubject the metal should be kept in mind. In other words, the temperspecified should be such that the amount of cold work the metal willreceive during fabrication will develop the desired characteristics inthe finished products.

Aluminum and its alloys lose part of their strength at elevatedtemperatures, although some alloys retain good strength attemperatures from 400 F to 500 F. At subzero temperatures, however,their strength increases without loss of ductility, so that aluminum isa particularly useful metal for low-temperature applications.

When aluminum surfaces are exposed to the atmosphere, a thininvisible oxide skin forms immediately, which protects the metal fromfurther oxidation. This self-protecting characteristic gives aluminumits high resistance to corrosion. Unless exposed to some substanceor condition that destroys this protective oxide coating, the metalremains fully protected against corrosion. Aluminum is highly resistantto weathering, even in industrial atmospheres that often corrode othermetals. It is also corrosion resistant to many acids. Alkalis are amongthe few substances that attack the oxide skin and therefore are corro-sive to aluminum. Although the metal can safely be used in the pres-ence of certain mild alkalis with the aid of inhibitors, in general, directcontact with alkaline substances should be avoided.

Some alloys are less resistant to corrosion than others, particularlycertain high-strength alloys. Such alloys in some forms can be effectivelyprotected from the majority of corrosive influences, however, bycladding the exposed surface or surfaces with a thin layer of eitherpure aluminum or one of the more highly corrosion-resistant alloys.

A word of caution should be mentioned in connection with thecorrosion-resistant characteristics of aluminum. Direct contacts withcertain other metals should be avoided in the presence of anelectrolyte; otherwise galvanic corrosion of the aluminum may takeplace in the vicinity of the contact area. Where other metals must befastened to aluminum, the use of a bituminous paint coating orinsulating tape is recommended.

The fact that aluminum is nontoxic was discovered in the early daysof the industry. It is this characteristic that permits the metal to beused in cooking utensils without any harmful effect on the body, andtoday we find also a great deal of aluminum equipment in use by foodprocessing industries. The same characteristic permits aluminum foilwrapping to be used safely in direct contact with food products.

Aluminum is one of the two common metals having an electricalconductivity high enough for use as an electric conductor. Theconductivity of electric conductor grade (1350) is about 62 percentthat of the International Annealed Copper Standard. Becausealuminum has less than one-third the specific gravity of copper,however, a pound of aluminum will go about twice as far as a poundof copper when used for this purpose. Alloying lowers the conductivitysomewhat, so that wherever possible alloy 1350 is used in electricconductor applications.

The high thermal conductivity of aluminum came prominently intoplay in the very first large-scale commercial application of the metal incooking utensils. This characteristic is important wherever thetransfer of thermal energy from one medium to another is involved,either heating or cooling. Thus aluminum heat exchangers arecommonly used in the food, chemical, petroleum, aircraft and otherindustries. Aluminum is also an excellent reflector of radiantenergy through the entire range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet,through the visible spectrum to infrared and heat waves, as well aselectromagnetic waves of radio and radar.

Aluminum has a light reflectivity of over 80 percent, which has led toits wide use in lighting fixtures. Aluminum roofing reflects a highpercentage of the sun’s heat, so that buildings roofed with thismaterial are cooler in summer.

The ease with which aluminummay be fabricated into any form is oneof its most important assets. Often it can compete successfully withcheaper materials having a lower degree of workability. The metalcan be cast by any method known to foundrymen; it can be rolled toany desired thickness down to foil thinner than paper; aluminumsheet can be stamped, drawn, spun or roll-formed. The metal alsomay be hammered or forged. Aluminum wire, drawn from rolled rod,may be stranded into cable of any desired size and type. There isalmost no limit to the different profiles (shapes) in which the metalmay be extruded.

The ease and speed with which aluminum may be machined is one ofthe important factors contributing to the low cost of finishedaluminum parts. The metal may be turned, milled, bored, ormachined in other manners at the maximum speeds of which themajority of machines are capable. Another advantage of its flexiblemachining characteristics is that aluminum rod and bar may readilybe employed in the highspeed manufacture of parts by automaticscrew machines.

Almost any method of joining is applicable to aluminum: riveting,welding, brazing or soldering. A wide variety of mechanical aluminumfasteners simplifies the assembly of many products. Adhesivebonding of aluminum parts is widely employed, particularly in joiningaircraft components.

For the majority of applications, aluminum needs no protectivecoating. Mechanical finishes such as polishing, sand blasting or wirebrushing meet the majority of needs. In many instances, the surfacefinish supplied is entirely adequate without further finishing. Wherethe plain aluminum surface does not suffice, or where additionalprotection is required, any of a wide variety of surface finishes may beapplied. Chemical, electrochemical and paint finishes are all used.Many colors are available in both chemical and electrochemicalfinishes. If paint, lacquer or enamel is used, any color possible withthese finishes may be applied. Vitreous enamels have beendeveloped for aluminum, and the metal may also be electroplated.

Aluminum sheet, because of its superior corrosion resistance andsmooth continuous surface, is an excellent base for the high qualitypaints used in producing painted sheet. The chemical pretreatmentplus the application of high quality thermally cured paint assures afinish that will exhibit no cracking, blistering, or peeling. Accidentaldamage to products made of painted aluminum sheet will not result inunsightly rust areas or streaks. Experience has shown that paint inthe quality used for this product, properly formulated, applied andcured, will show little change in color or loss of gloss after one year’sservice in the adverse climactic conditions of south-central Florida.

Highly industrialized areas may cause some color change due toatmospheric contaminant’s.

Proper maintenance can extend the service life considerably--eventhe finest automobiles require occasional washing and polishing ifthey are to retain their original appearance.

Even after many years of service most advantages of the paintedsheet remain. It can be repainted with any good grade of house paintwith no danger of cracking or peeling, such as is often experiencedwhen paint is applied to other types of base materials.

Painted sheet and the products made from it should be handled withcare to avoid damage to the paint film. Repair of large damaged areasis not recommended, but for repair of small areas air drying touch-uppaint intended for brush application is available from paint suppliers.Your painted sheet supplier should be contacted for preciseinformation. This touch-up paint cannot be expected to exhibit thesame weathering and other characteristics as the original paintedsheet, and touched-up areas will present appearance differencesafter weather exposure. For this reason, use of touch-up paint shouldbe held to a minimum.

Many types of paint systems are used, and it is difficult to establishreasonable and meaningful standards for all of them. Specificapplications require consideration of life expectancy, formingrequirements and methods, economics, and so forth. Paintsystems generally in use exhibit general characteristics as shownon pages 7-31 to 7-33, but for specific applications consult thepainted sheet supplier.

These are the characteristics that give aluminum its extremeversatility. In the majority of applications, two or more of thesecharacteristics some prominently into play for example, light weightcombined with strength in airplanes, railroad cars, trucks and othertransportation equipment. High resistance to corrosion and high

thermal conductivity are important in equipment for the chemical andpetroleum industries; these properties combine with nontoxicity forfood processing equipment.

Attractive appearance together with high resistance to weatheringand low maintenance requirements have led to extensive use inbuildings of all types. High reflectivity, excellent weatheringcharacteristics, and light weight are all important in roofing materials.Light weight contributes to low handling and shipping costs,whatever the application.

Many applications require the extreme versatility that only aluminumhas. Almost daily its unique combination of properties is being put towork in new ways. The metal now serves as a basic raw material formore than 20,000 businesses scattered throughout the country.

The temper designation follows the alloy designation, the two beingseparated by a hyphen. Basic temper designations consist of letters.Subdivisions of the basic tempers, where required, are indicated byone or more digits following the letter. These designate specificsequences of basic treatments, but only operations recognized assignificantly influencing the characteristics of the product areindicated. Should some other variation of the same sequence ofbasic operations be applied to the same alloy, resulting in differentcharacteristics, then additional digits are added to the designation.

�Temper designations conforming to this standard for wrought aluminumand wrought aluminum alloys, and aluminum alloy castings may beregistered with the Aluminum Association provided: (1) the temper is used oris available for use by more than one user, (2) mechanical property limits areregistered, (3) the characteristics of the temper are significantly different fromthose of all other tempers that have the same sequence of basic treatmentsand for which designations already have been assigned for the same alloyand product, and (4) the following are also registered if characteristicsother than mechanical properties are considered significant: (a) testmethods and limits for the characteristics or (b) the specific practicesused to produce the temper.

4.1 Basic Temper

F as fabricated. Applies to the products of shaping processes inwhich no special control over thermal conditions or strainhardening is employed. For wrought products, there are nomechanical property limits.

O annealed. Applies to wrought products that are annealed toobtain the lowest strength temper, and to cast products that areannealed to improve ductility and dimensional stability. The Omay be followed by a digit other than zero.

H strain-hardened (wrought products only).Applies to products thathave their strength increased by strain-hardening, with or withoutsupplementary thermal treatments to produce some reduction instrength. The H is always followed by two or more digits.

W solution heat-treated. An unstable temper applicable only toalloys that spontaneously age at room temperature after solutionheat-treatment. This designation is specific only when the periodof natural aging is indicated; for example: W 1/2 hr.

T thermally treated to produce stable tempers other than F,O, or H. Applies to products that are thermally treated, withorwithout supplementary strain-hardening, to produce stabletempers. The T is always followed by one or more digits.

4.2 Subdivisions of Basic Tempers

4.2.1 Subdivision of H Temper: Strain-hardened

4.2.1.1 The first digit following the H indicates thespecific combination of basic operations, asfollows:

H1 strain-hardened only. Applies to products that are strain-hardened to obtain the desired strength without supplementarythermal treatment. The number following this designationindicates the degree of strain-hardening.

H2 strain-hardened and partially annealed. Applies to products

that are strain-hardened more than the desired final amount andthen reduced in strength to the desired level by partial annealing.For alloys that age-soften at room temperature, the H2 tempershave the same minimum ultimate tensile strength as thecorresponding H3 tempers. For other alloys, the H2 tempers havethe same minimum ultimate tensile strength as the correspondingH1 tempers and slightly higher elongation. The number followingthis designation indicates the degree of strain-hardeningremaining after the product has been partially annealed.

H3 strain-hardened and stabilized. Applies to products that arestrain-hardened and whose mechanical properties are stabilizedeither by a low temperature thermal treatment or as a result of heatintroduced during fabrication. Stabilization usually improvesductility. This designation is applicable only to those alloys that,unless stabilized, gradually age-soften at room temperature. Thenumber following this designation indicates the degree of strain-hardening remaining after the stabilization treatment.

H4 strain-hardened and lacquered or painted. Applies to productswhich are strain-hardened which are subjected to some thermaloperation during the subsequent painting or lacquering operation.The number following this designation indicates the degree ofstrain-hardening remaining after the product has been thermallytreated, as part of painting/lacquering cure operation. Thecorresponding H2X or H3X mechanical property limits apply.

4.2.1.2 The digit following the designation H1, H2, H3, and H4indicates the degree of strain-hardening as identified by the minimumvalue of the ultimate tensile strength. Numeral 8 has been assignedto the hardest tempers normally produced. The minimum tensilestrength of tempers HX8 may be determined from Table 1 and isbased on the minimum tensile strength of the alloy in the annealedtemper. However, temper registrations prior to 1992 that do notconform to the requirements of Table 1 shall not be revised andregistrations of intermediate or modified tempers for suchalloy/temper systems shall conform to the registration requirementsthat existed prior to 1992.

The ultimate tensile strength of intermediate tempers, determined asdescribed above, when not ending in 0 or 5, shall be rounded to thenext higher 0 or 5.

4.2.1.3 The third digit,� when used, indicates a variation of a two-digit temper. It is used when the degree of control of temper or themechanical properties or both differ from, but are close to, that (orthose) for the two-digit H temper designation to which it is added, orwhen some other characteristic is significantly affected. (SeeAppendix for assigned three-digit H tempers.) NOTE: The minimumultimate tensile strength of a three-digit H temper must be at least asclose to that of the corresponding two-digit H temper as it is to theadjacent two-digit H tempers. Products in the H temper whosemechanical properties are below H_1 shall be variations of H_1.

�Numerals 1 through 9 may be arbitrarily assigned as the third digit andregistered with the Aluminum Association for an alloy and product to indicatea variation of a two-digit H temper (see note �)

4.2.2 Subdivision of T Temper: Thermally Treated

4.2.2.1 Numerals 1 through 10 following the T indicate specificsequences of basic treatments, as follows: �

T1 cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process andnaturally aged to a substantially stable condition. Applies toproducts that are not cold worked after cooling from an elevatedtemperature shaping process, or in which the effect of cold workin flattening or straightening may not be recognized inmechanical property limits.

Applies to products that are cold worked to improvestrength after cooling from an elevated temperature shapingprocess, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening orstraightening is recognized in mechanical property limits.

T3 solution heat-treated, cold worked, and naturally aged to asubstantially stable condition. Applies to products that arecold worked to improve strength after solution heat-treatment, orin which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening isrecognized in mechanical property limits.

T4 solution heat-treated and naturally aged to a substantiallystable condition. Applies to products that are not cold workedafter solution heat-treatment, or in which the effect of cold workin flattening or straightening may not be recognized inmechanical property limits.

T5 cooled from an elevated temperature shaping processand then artificially aged.

T6 solution heat-treated and then artificially aged. Applies toproducts that are not cold worked after solution heat-treatment,or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straighteningmay not be recognized in mechanical property limits.

T7 solution heat-treated and overaged/stabilized. Applies towrought products that are artificially aged after solution heat-treatment to carry them beyond a point of maximum strength toprovide control of some significant characteristic . Applies tocast products that are artificially aged after solution heat-treatment to provide dimensional and strength stability.

T8 solution heat-treated, cold worked, and then artificiallyaged. Applies to products that are cold worked to improvestrength, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening orstraightening is recognized in mechanical property limits.

T10 cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process, coldworker, and then artificially aged. Applies to products that arecold worked to improve strength, or in which the effect of coldwork in flattening or straightening is recognized in mechanicalproperty limits.

�A period of natural aging at room temperature may occur between or after theoperations listed for the T Tempers. Control of this period is exercised when it ismetallurgically important.Solution heat treatment is achieved by heating cast or wrought productsto a suitable temperature, holding at that temperature long enough to allowconstituents to enter into solid solution and cooling rapidly enough to hold theconstituents in solution. Some 6xxx series alloys attain the same specifiedmechanical properties whether furnace solution heat treated or cooled from anelevated temperature shaping process at a rate rapid enough to holdconstituents in solution. In such cases the temper designations T3, T4, T6, T7,T8, and T9 are used to apply to either process and are appropriate designations.For this purpose, characteristic is something other than mechanicalproperties. The test method and limit used to evaluate material for thischaracteristic are specified at the time of the temper registration.

4.2.2.2 Additional digits,� the first of which shall not be zero, may beadded to designations T1 through T10 to indicate a variation in treatmentthat significantly alters the product characteristics that are or wouldbe obtained using the basic treatment. (See Appendix for specificadditional digits for T tempers.)

�Additional digits may be arbitrarily assigned and registered with TheAluminum Association for an alloy and product to indicate a variation oftempers T1 through T10 even though the temper representing the basictreatment has not been registered (see note �). Variations in treatment thatdo not alter the characteristics of the product are considered alternatetreatments for which additional digits are not assigned.

4.3 Variations of O Temper: Annealed4.3.1 A digit following the O, when used, indicates a product in theannealed condition having special characteristics. NOTE: As the Otemper is not part of the strain-hardened (H) series, variations of Otemper shall not apply to products that are strain-hardened afterannealing and in which the effect of strain-hardening is recognized inthe mechanical properties or other characteristics.

A4 Designation of Unregistered TempersA4. The letter P has been assigned to denote H. T and O tempervariations that are negotiated between manufacturer and purchaser.The letter P immediately follows the temper designation that mostnearly pertains. Specific examples where such designation may beapplied include the following.

A4.1.1 The use of the temper is sufficiently limited so as to precludeits registration. (Negotiated H temper variations were formerlyindicated by the third digit zero.)

A4.1.2 The test conditions (sampling location, number of samples,test specimen configuration, etc.) are different from those required forregistration with The Aluminum Association.

A4.1.3 The mechanical property limits are not established on thesame basis as required for registration with The AluminumAssociation.

A4.1.4 For products such as Aluminum Metal Matrix Compositeswhich are not included in any registration records.

Metallurgical AspectsIn high-purity form aluminum is soft and ductile. Most commercialuses, however, require greater strength than pure aluminum affords.This is achieved in aluminum first by the addition of other elements toproduce various alloys, which singly or in combination impartstrength to the metal. Further strengthening is possible by meansthat classify the alloys roughly into two categories, non-heat-treatable and heat-treatable.

non-heat-treatable alloys–The initial strength of alloys in this groupdepends upon the hardening effect of elements such as manganese,silicon, iron and magnesium, singly or in various combinations. Thenon-heat-treatable alloys are usually designated, therefore, in the1xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, or 5xxx series. Since these alloys are work-hard-enable, further strengthening is made possible by various degrees ofcold working, denoted by the “H” series of tempers. Alloys containingappreciable amounts of magnesium when supplied in strain-hard-ened tempers are usually given a final elevated-temperaturetreatment called stabilizing to ensure stability of properties.

heat-treatable alloys–The initial strength of alloys in this group isenhanced by the addition of alloying elements such as cooper,magnesium, zinc, and silicon. Since these elements singly or invarious combinations show increasing solid solubility in aluminumwith increasing temperature, it is possible to subject them to thermaltreatments that will impart pronounced strengthening.

The first step, called heat treatment or solution heat treatment, is anelevated-temperature process designed to put the soluble element orelements in solid solution. This is followed by rapid quenching,usually in water, which momentarily “freezes” the structure and for ashort time renders the alloy very workable. It is at this stage that somefabricators retain this more workable structure by storing the alloys atbelow freezing temperatures until they are ready to form them. Atroom or elevated temperatures the alloys are not stable after quenching,however, and precipitation of the constituents from the super-saturated solution begins. After a period of several days at roomtemperature, termed aging or room-temperature precipitation, the

alloy is considerably stronger. Many alloys approach a stable conditionat room temperature, but some alloys, particularly those containingmagnesium and silicon or magnesium and zinc, continue to age-harden for long periods of time at room temperature.

By heating for a controlled time at slightly elevated temperatures,even further strengthening is possible and properties are stabilized.This process is called artificial aging or precipitation hardening. Bythe proper combination of solution heat treatment, quenching, coldworking and artificial aging, the highest strengths are obtained.

clad alloys–The heat-treatable alloys in which copper or zinc aremajor alloying constituents are less resistant to corrosive attack thanthe majority of non-heat-treatable alloys. To increase the corrosionresistance of these alloys in sheet and plate form, they are often cladwith high-purity aluminum, a low magnesium-silicon alloy, or an alloycontaining 1 percent zinc. The cladding, usually from 2 1/2 percent to5 percent of the total thickness on each side, not only protects thecomposite due to its own inherently excellent corrosion resistance butalso exerts a galvanic effect, which further protects the core material.

Special composites may be obtained such as clad non-heat-treatablealloys for extra corrosion protection, for brazing purposes, or forspecial surface finishes. Some alloys in wire and tubular form are cladfor similar reasons, and on an experimental basis extrusions alsohave been clad.

annealing characteristics–All wrought aluminum alloys are availablein annealed form. In addition, it may be desirable to anneal an alloyfrom any other initial temper, after working, or between successivestages of working such as in deep drawing.

Effect of Alloying Elements1xxx series––Aluminum of 99 percent or higher purity has manyapplications, especially in the electrical and chemical fields. Thesecompositions are characterized by excellent corrosion resistance,high thermal and electrical conductivity, low mechanical propertiesand excellent workability. Moderate increases in strength may beobtained by strain-hardening. Iron and silicon are themajor impurities.

2xxx series––Cooper is the principal alloying element in this group.These alloys require solution heat-treatment to obtain optimumproperties; in the heat treated condition mechanical properties aresimilar to, and sometimes exceed, those of mild steel. In someinstances artificial aging is employed to further increase the mechanicalproperties. This treatment materially increases yield strength, withattendant loss in elongation; its effect on tensile (ultimate) strength isnot so great. The alloys in the 2xxx series do not have as good corrosionresistance as most other aluminum alloys, and under certainconditions they may be subject to intergranular corrosion. Therefore,these alloys in the form of sheet are usually clad with a high-purityalloy or a magnesium-silicon alloy of the 6xxx series, series, whichprovides galvanic protection to the core material and thus greatlyincreases resistance to corrosion. Alloy 2024 is perhaps the bestknown and most widely used aircraft alloy.

3xxx series––Manganese is the major alloying element of alloys inthis group, which are generally non-heat-treatable. Because only alimited percentage of manganese, up to about 1.5 percent, can beeffectively added to aluminum, it is used as a major element in only afew instances. One of these, however, is the popular 3003, which iswidely used as a general purpose alloy for moderate-strengthapplications requiring good workability.

4xxx series––The major alloying element of this group is silicon,which can be added in sufficient quantities to cause substantiallowering of the melting point without producing brittleness in theresulting alloys. For these reasons aluminum-silicon alloys are usedin welding wire and as brazing alloys where a lower melting pointthan that of the parent metal is required. Most alloys in this eries arenon-heat-treatable, but when used in welding heat-treatable alloysthey will pick up some of the alloying constituents of the latter and sorespond to heat treatment to a limited extent. The alloys containingappreciable amounts of silicon become dark grey when anodic oxidefinishes are applied, and hence are in demand for architecturalapplications.

5xxx series––Magnesium is one of the most effective and widelyused alloying elements for aluminum. When it is used as the majoralloying element or with manganese, the result is a moderate to highstrength non-heat-treatable alloy. Magnesium is considerably moreeffective than manganese as a hardener, about 0.8 percentmagnesium being equal to 1.25 percent manganese, and it can beadded in considerably higher quantities. Alloys in this series possessgood welding characteristics and good resistance to corrosion inmarine atmosphere. However, certain limitations should be placed onthe amount of cold work and on the safe operating temperaturespermissible for the higher magnesium content alloys (over about 3 1/2percent for operating temperatures above about 150F) to avoidsusceptibility to stress corrosion.

6xxx series––Alloys in this group contain silicon and magnesium inapproximate proportions to form magnesium silicide, thus makingthem heat-treatable. The major alloy in this series is 6061, one ofthe most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys. Though less strongthan most of the 2xxx or 7xxx alloys, the magnesium-silicon (ormagnesium-silicide) alloys possess good formability and corrosionresistance, with medium strength. Alloys in this heat-treatable groupmay be formed in the T4 temper (solution heat-treated but notartificially aged) and then reach full T6 properties by artificial aging.

7xxx series––Zinc is the major alloying element in this group, andwhen coupled with a smaller percentage of magnesium results inheat-treatable alloys of very high strength. Usually other elementssuch as copper and chromium are also added in small quantities. Theoutstanding member of this group is 7075, which is among thehighest strength alloys available and is used in air-frame structuresand for highly stressed parts.
