Introduction
Aluminium / Aluminum alloys are known for their strong corrosion resistance. They are sensitive to high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and 482°F), and can lose some amount of their strength. However, the strength of the aluminum alloys can be increased at subzero temperatures, thus making them perfect low-temperature alloys.
Aluminium / Aluminum 7010 alloy is a wrought alloy type. The following datasheet provides more details about the chemical composition and mechanical properties of Aluminium / Aluminum 7010 alloys.
