Aluminum 2014

This alloy is one of the highest strength heat treatable products available today. It combines excellent strength with good machinability. 2014 Aluminum is one of the easiest aluminum alloys to weld and performs well in arc and resistance welding methods. However, it has limited corrosion resistance. When expected to be exposed to the outside environment, Alloy 2014 should be protected with pure aluminum coating or lacquer. Alloy 2014 is an ideal forging alloy for aircraft components such as landing gear and hydraulic cylinders.

Aluminum 5086

5086 is an aluminum alloy made primarily of magnesium. It cannot be heat treated, but strengthens the material through strain hardening or cold machining. Since heat treatment has little effect on strength, the 5086 is easy to weld (especially by arc welding) and retains most of its mechanical strength. Good welding results and good corrosive properties in seawater make the 5086 very popular in ship gangways, shipbuilding and yacht hulls.

Aluminum 7050

7050 aluminum sheet is the preferred choice in aerospace applications where it requires the metal used to have good SCC (stress corrosion cracking) resistance, strength and toughness. It is typically used in sheet applications with a thickness between three and six inches. 7050 aluminum has higher corrosion resistance and better toughness compared to 7075 grade alloys. 7050 aluminum tends to be used in thicker profiles because of its lower quenching sensitivity compared to other aerospace aluminum alloys. This allows it to maintain strength characteristics, resistance to stress corrosion cracking and fracture toughness.
