Aluminium 4045 mechanical properties
(OP)
Hi Guys
I'm struggling to find and published data on Aluminium AA4045
I specifically need the Tensile strength figures, can anyone assist?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

To give you an insight as to why I need the tensile strength of 4045;
I working on a unit that has 4045/3003/4045 clad plate involved.
In order to qualify the plate for use in a CatIV pressure vessel I need to do Tensile tests on the Pre-Braze material and I need to know how much strength the 4045 Clad contributes to the total strength of the Test piece.

To CoryPad, I'm fully aware of the requirements for Tensile Testing, however we are faced with 7 tons of Clad sheet without any testing being done prior to the cladding.
Stangely enough, it's the performance of the 3003 that we're interested in, The question being asked by the 3rd party inspector is; does the 4045 contribute to the strength of the 3003 component, should it be included or should it be ignored.
Given the reply from Swall plus some further data from the material supplier it was fairly simple to discount the 4045 component at this stage of the manufacture.
RE: Aluminium 4045 mechanical properties
The high Si concentration could initiate cracking of the 4045, which could be tranferred to the 3003 core.
