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 low­temperature alloys.

Aluminium / Aluminum 7005 alloy is a wrought alloy type. The following datasheet will
provide more details about Aluminium / Aluminum 7005 alloy.
