PRINCIPAL ALLOYING ELEMENT: Magnesium
ALUMINUM 5657 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
What is Aluminum 5657?
Aluminum 5657 is made from high-purity aluminum (>99.85% Al) with a small amount of magnesium addition to increase its strength. It is intended for applications that require a bright finish attained by chemical or electrochemical brightening. This brightening characteristics are poor when the alloy is in the fully soft, annealed temper so it is not usually supplied in that temper.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION LIMITS:
Compositions are listed as weight percent. Limits are given as a maximum unless indicated as a range.
