WHY A201.0-T4 ?????????? All data I reviewed states 'use in -T7 temper'...
1. ASTM B686-18 Standard Specification for Aluminum Alloy Castings, High-Strength
A201.0 (c)
(c) Alloy A201.0 is intended for use in the –T7 temper, which provides a high level
of resistance to stress-corrosion cracking when properly heat treated. In other
tempers, alloy A201.0 may exhibit susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking.
Additionally, its tendency for hot shortness may make alloy A201.0 unsuitable in
some casting designs.
2. MMPDS-10
A201.0-T7 AMS-A-21180 and AMS 4229
