1. Rationale
Revise Note 3. The properties of 6064-T6/T6511 were revised upwards when the tentative registration was moved to final. The properties in Table 2 need to be revised. 2) 6013-T6/T6511 is registered and Alcoa requests its addition to B221 and B221. The alloy composition needs to be added to Table 1 and properties added to Table 2. 3) Footnote 7 for Suspect corrosion performance has been revised in ASD Table 6.4. The corresponding Table 4 in B221 and B221 should be changed to agree with the AA footnotes. (Note - the revisions of ASD were initiated in response to inquiries to ASTM standards) 4) There is no caution against using high Mg 5xxx alloys in high temperature applications such as provided in ASTM B928/B928M. In light of the Navy reports of sensitization for 5xxx extrusions in marine use, I am assuming that the concerns for sheet and plate in high temperature applications would be similar for extrusions. The note in ASTM B928/B928M is: NOTE 4-Alloys 5059, 5083, 5086, 5383, and 5456 should not be used for service, which provides prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 150F [65C] (whether continuous exposure or discontinuous exposure) because of the risk of sensitization and the resulting susceptibility to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Cold forming can also increases susceptibility to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
