  "summary": "5019 (AlMg5, also written EN AW-5019, UNS A95019, AA 5019) is a wrought aluminium-magnesium alloy with about 4.5 to 5.6 % magnesium as its main alloying element. Supplier data give a density of 2.64 g/cm3, a melting range of 575 to 630 °C, and a tensile strength of 270 to 350 MPa in the H12 form and 300 to 380 MPa in the H24 form. The supplier rates its seawater and weathering resistance as very good and says the alloy is food safe. The sources read for this profile give no yield strength and no spacecraft or flight record.\n",
  "best_for": "Wrought rod, tube and wire where seawater and weathering resistance matter (supplier rates both very good)",
  "weakest_at": "Thin data: no yield strength was found for any tested temper, and the supplier rates hard brazing as poor",
