7068 alloy is a 7000 series aluminium-zinc alloy registered with the US Aluminium Association and produced to AMS 4331 (chemical composition and mechanical properties) and AMS 2772 (heat treatment). 7068 alloy ‘A’ and ‘B’ tensile data and fatigue properties have been ratified for inclusion in MIL Handbook 5 / MMPDS.
Alclad is a corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet formed from high-purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded (rolled onto) to high-strength aluminium alloy core material. It has a melting point of about 500 °C (932 °F).
7475 aluminum alloy (Adirium) is a wrought alloy with high zinc weight percentage. It also contains magnesium, silicon and chromium. [1] 7475 alloy can not be welded. It has more spring back because of its strength. It has high machinability. [citation needed]
Metal profile sheet systems are used to build cost efficient and reliable envelopes of mostly commercial buildings. They have evolved from the single skin metal cladding often associated with agricultural buildings to multi-layer systems for industrial and leisure application. As with most construction components, the ability of the cladding to ...
Unhardened 5086 has a yield strength of 120 MPa (17 ksi) and ultimate tensile strength of 260 MPa (38 ksi) from −28 to 100 °C (−18 to 212 °F). At cryogenic temperatures it is slightly stronger: at −196 °C (−321 °F), yield of 130 MPa (19 ksi) and ultimate tensile strength of 380 MPa (55 ksi); above 100 °C (212 °F) its strength is reduced.
The maximum solubility is 583.5 °C and 1.9% Mg 2 Si, which is why the sum of both elements in the common alloys is below this value. The stoichiometric composition of magnesium to silicon of 2:1 corresponds to a mass ratio of 1.73:1. The solubility decreases very quickly with falling temperature and is only 0.08 percent by mass at 200 °C.
Typical applications include marine, aircraft, architecture, general sheet metal work, heat exchangers, fuel lines and tanks, flooring panels, streetlights, appliances, rivets and wire. The exceptional corrosion resistance of 5052 alloy against seawater and salt spray makes it a primary candidate for the failure-sensitive large marine ...
[1] Alternate names and designations include AlSiMg and A96005. The alloy and its various tempers are covered by the following standards: [2] ASTM B 221: Standard Specification for Aluminium and Aluminium-Alloy Extruded Bars, Rods, Wire, Profiles, and Tubes; EN 573-3: Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Chemical composition and form of wrought ...
