Principal Design Features
|
|
AL 5050 is noted for its very good corrosion resistance and good workability properties. It is a non-heat treatable alloy.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Is commonly used in the manufacture of refrigerator trim, coiled tubes, and builder's hardware.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
The overall machinability of this alloy is considered as fair, especially in the annealed condition. In the cold worked conditions the machinability is improved over that of the annealed material. Use of proper lubricants during machining is advised.
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
The best formability results are obtained in the annealed or H32 tempers. The alloy may still be formed, but with somewhat more difficulty, in the harder cold worked conditions.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
All of the commercial welding methods may be used satisfactorily with this alloy. Brazing, after experimental trials to develop parameters, is also possible.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
This all is not heat treatable.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
No data, although the alloy is considered forgeable - consult the alloy supplier.
|
|
|
Hot Working
|
|
The alloy can be hot worked in the temperature range of 700 to 400 F.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
Cold working characteristics are very good, especially in the annealed temper. Bend radii of zero to 1/2 thickness are possible for sheet material up to 1/8" thick.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Annealing, id required because of extensive cold working, may be done at 650 F followed by air cooling.
|
|
|
Aging
|
|
Not applicable to this alloy.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
Not applicable.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Cold working will harden this alloy to the various H tempers, depending upon the degree (or amount) of cold worked strain imparted.
|
|
|
