1) Tempering between 370 and 600C should be avoided because corrosion and stress-corrosion resistance is lowered.
2) H1000 = hardened above 538C (1000F).

1) Mechanically stress relieved products (TX5X or TX5XX) should be specified where possible.
2) Sheet, unmachined extrusion and unmachined plate are the most resistant forms.
3) Except for controlled tempers listed in footnote 3 of Table I, aluminium alloys. These alloys are not recommended for high-temperature applications. 66C (150F) and above.
