Aluminum Standards and Data is the oldest, most popular and most comprehensive guide for producers and users of aluminum. This 250+ page book was created to make aluminum standards more accessible and understandable for people in the aluminum industry and those sourcing or specifying aluminum.

Changes to the 2024 version, which supersedes the previous 2017 edition, include:

• Latest ANSI H35.1, H35.2 and H35.2(M) updates
• Introduction of the designation system for aluminum alloys in powder form
• New and updated terminology
• New alloy temper properties
• Expansion of multiple tolerance tables to higher thickness ranges and gauges
• Updates to several footnotes, introduction of new illustrations, and more

The book is divided into three parts distinguished by their page colors: blue, yellow and white.

• The blue section contains information on aluminum characteristics, alloy and temper designations, mill product specifications, nominal composition, typical mechanical and physical properties, density calculation procedure, comparative characteristics and application, fabrication/heat treatments of wrought aluminum and wrought aluminum alloy products, and quality control and guidelines for testing, inspection, and identification.
• The yellow section lists the terminology associated with wrought aluminum products.
• The white pages cover standard limits for mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances for wrought aluminum mill products.

The publication is available in two editions - one for U.S. customary units and one for metric units.
