This is the highest strength non heat-treatable alloy in general commercial use, possessing very high welded
strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is used for many types of welded assemblies, such as tanks,
dump trucks, cryogenic applications and ship superstructures. It is not however recommended for use in
corrosive environments above 60°C.
