scope:

This standard specifies the chemical composition, heat treatment, mechanical properties, testing and identification requirements for Aluminium Alloy (7019) for use in nonarmour structural applications. The alloy is available in the solution treated and aged condition in the form of extruded bar and sections, sheet, plate, forgings and drawn tube.

Users of this material should be aware of the need to exercise caution when fabricating the material by bending (ANNEX I), and for minimising the susceptibility of both the material and the fabricated structure to stress corrosion cracking (ANNEXES E and F, and Def Stan 08-39)
