Introduction
Aluminium / aluminum is one of the most commonly used metallic elements today as it is ductile, lightweight, and malleable.
Aluminium / aluminum alloys possess strong corrosion resistance due to the oxide skin which forms as a result of reactions with the atmosphere. Aluminium / aluminum 5010 alloy is a wrought alloy type with good corrosion resistance. It is a heat treatable alloy. The following datasheet will provide more details about aluminium / aluminum 5010 alloy.
