Bend radii should be in the one thickness to 2 t range for annealed, H12, H14 and H16 tempers. The H18 temper requires bend radii of 2 to 7 t, depending upon thickness of the material. |
Welding | Weldability of this alloy is excellent by all commercial techniques. Arc welding is preferred for the best results. |
Heat Treatment | This alloy does not respond to heat treatment except for annealing during cold working. |
Forging | Forging, if required, may be done in the range of 950 to 700 F. |
Hot Working | Hot working may be accomplished at 700 to 400 F. |
Cold Working | The cold working characteristics of AL 3105 are very good, even in the harder cold worked tempers. Bend radii for sheet up to 1/16″ thick vary from 1/2 to one t for all tempers. |
Annealing | Annealing from a cold worked condition may be accomplished at 650 F followed by air cooling. |
Aging | Not applicable to this alloy. |
Tempering | Not applicable. |
Hardening | Hardens to the H12, 14, 16, 18 or 25 tempers only by cold working. |
Other Physical Props | Electrical conductivity 41% of copper. |
