5005A-F Aluminum

5005A-F aluminum is 5005A aluminum in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. It has the second highest ductility compared to the other variants of 5005A aluminum. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare 5005A-F aluminum to: 5000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
