This alloy is primarily used in areas where good formability is required, it is used in O, H112, H32, H34, H24, H22;
to specification ASTM B209 Tempers and is an excellent choice for large pressure vessels and certain marine fabricated products. The formability is at its best in the soft 0 temper, but also sometimes used in H32 or H34 tempers too. However the strength and corrosion resistance are not always as good as other alloys, so as always a marine structural engineer should be consulted for each application.
