Introduction
Aluminum alloys are highly resistant to corrosion. They are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F), and tend to lose some of their strength. However, the strength of Aluminium / Aluminum alloys can be enhanced at subzero temperatures, thus making them good low-temperature alloys.
Aluminium / Aluminum 7005 alloy is a wrought alloy type. The following datasheet will provide more details about Aluminium / Aluminum 7005 alloy.
