The specification covers forging stock, bars, extruded sections and forgings of 99% aluminium.
This specification was declared obsolescent on 01 April 1999. It is no longer recommended for use on new designs.
Applications:
Metal work, license plates, identification plates. Kitchenware, packaging foils, containers, automotive trim, heat exchanger strip, radiator tubes. Aircraft and military highly stressed structures.
Characteristic Properties:
Very good atmospheric corrosion resistance and workability. High thermal conductivity and reflectivity but lower than for 1050A. Very good weldability. Slightly higher strength than 1050A.
Alloy Designations
Aluminium alloy 5L34 - 1200 is covered by Standard BS EN 5L34 (1985) - Now Obsolete.
Temper Types
The most common tempers for 5L34 - 1200 aluminium are as forged 'F' or fully annealed 'O'
- F - As fabricated
- O - Soft
