ENGINEERING GUIDE

Engineering Considerations

Heat Treatment

Specify the required solution treatment and temper because strength varies significantly with heat treatment.

Corrosion Protection

Copper-bearing alloys generally require more attention to corrosion protection than 5xxx grades.

Welding

Evaluate welding carefully; post-weld strength loss can be significant in heat-treatable alloys.
