2014 Aerospace Aluminum Extrusion Profile

Haomei Aluminum produces aerospace-grade aluminum extrusions according to specifications such as AMS 4153, ASTM-B221, UNS A92014, QQ-A-200/2, etc.

Aluminum 2014 is a precipitation-hardened alloy with good corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and excellent machinability. As one of the strongest aluminum alloys on the commercial market, 2014A aluminum is widely used in the manufacture of aircraft and truck components as well as forging.

Characteristics of 2014 Aerospace Aluminum Extrusions

1. Strength

2014 aluminum alloy can achieve higher strength through appropriate heat treatment, making it an ideal choice for aerospace structural components such as wings, fuselages, and other load-bearing parts capable of withstanding high loads and stresses during flight.

2. Wear Resistance

Due to its high hardness and excellent fatigue strength, 2014 aluminum alloy performs well in high-impact and wear environments. It is commonly used to manufacture high-friction mechanical parts, such as gears, bearings, and guide rails, effectively extending service life.

3. Weldability

While the weldability of 2014 aluminum alloy is relatively good, the strength of the welded area may decrease during the welding process. Therefore, selecting the appropriate welding process and filler materials is crucial. In some cases, post-weld heat treatment may be required to restore strength.

4. Corrosion Resistance

The corrosion resistance of 2014 aluminum alloy is particularly prominent after treatments, such as anodizing or coating, which can enhance its corrosion resistance. This characteristic allows it to maintain good performance even in humid or corrosive environments.

5. Machinability

After extrusion, 2014 aluminum alloy has good machinability. It can be processed through cutting, milling, drilling, and other methods. However, it is important to control temperature during processing to avoid changes in hardness and material damage.

6. Heat Treatment

2014 aluminum alloy can significantly enhance its mechanical properties through different heat treatment processes (such as T6 treatment). Heat treatment can increase the material's strength and hardness, making it suitable for high-strength aerospace applications.
