Introduction
Aluminium / aluminum is versatile, lightweight, and malleable metal that can be rolled, hammered, drawn, spun, stamped, roll-formed, and forged. The metal can be extruded into many shapes, and can be milled, turned, and bored using the machining process.
Aluminum alloys are specifically manufactured to meet particular product requirements. Aluminium / aluminum 5049 alloy is a wrought alloy type with good corrosion resistance.
The following datasheet will provide more details about aluminium / aluminum 5049 alloy.
