Particularly good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. Excellent workability. It may be drawn or formed into intricate shapes and its slightly greater strength in the annealed condition minimizes tearing that  can occur in 1100 or 3003. Excellent finishing characteristics with bright, clear anodic coatings.
