/ m*2 or more, and has excellent performance as an aluminum alloy for welded structures, and is often used in Europe and America as heavy structural materials such as cranes, vehicles, tanks, and special bridges. This type of alloy undergoes age hardening not only at high temperatures but also at room temperature after container treatment, and is said to be insensitive to quenching. Therefore, when this material is welded, the parts that have been softened by the welding heat will age harden at room temperature after welding and recover to nearly the strength of the material, resulting in high joint efficiency. However, the above-mentioned high-strength aluminum alloys have problems with corrosion resistance (mainly stress corrosion).
