2014 O T4 T6 T351 Aerospace Aluminum Sheet Plate

What is 2014 grade aluminium?

2014 aluminum alloy (2014 A) is a high-strength copper-based aluminum alloy primarily used in the aerospace industry. Its copper content ranges from 3.9% to 5%, making it part of the 2000 series of aluminum alloys, which gives it excellent strength and good machinability. Due to its high strength, 2014 aluminum alloy is widely used in aircraft structures, military vehicles, bridges, weapon manufacturing, and other structural components that require high strength and hardness.

2014 aluminum alloy has poor corrosion resistance and typically requires protective measures. To improve its corrosion resistance, 2014 aluminum plate is often coated with pure aluminum or painted for protection. When unprotected, 2014 aluminum is prone to corrosion when exposed to the natural environment.

2014 aluminum plate is the second most popular alloy in this series and is mainly processed through extrusion and forging techniques. This alloy also has good machinability, making it suitable for manufacturing molds, heavy-duty machine parts, wheels, truck frames, and suspension system components. The standard specifications for 2014 aluminum alloy include ASTM B209 and UNS A92014.

Although 2014 aluminum alloy has good machinability, its cold formability and weldability are poor after complete heat treatment. Overall, 2014 aluminum alloy is widely used in high-load and harsh environments for structural and forged applications, thanks to its high strength and excellent mechanical properties.

Characteristics of 2014 Aerospace Aluminum Plate

1. High Mechanical Strength

2014 aluminum alloy possesses excellent strength characteristics, allowing it to maintain stable performance under high-load applications. This makes it widely used in aircraft structural components, fuselage frames, and other load-bearing parts. Its tensile strength and yield strength are relatively high, meeting stringent engineering requirements.

2. Excellent Fatigue Resistance

The 2014 alloy exhibits good fatigue resistance, capable of withstanding long-term repetitive loads without experiencing fatigue failure. This characteristic is crucial for aircraft that undergo repeated stress during flight, helping to extend the service life of structural components.

3. Outstanding Machinability

2014 aluminum alloy performs well during machining processes and can be effectively shaped using common machining methods (such as cutting, milling, and welding). This makes it highly efficient and ensures good surface quality when manufacturing complex shapes and precision parts.

4. Requires Protective Coating to Avoid Corrosion

Although 2014 aluminum alloy has high strength and machinability, its corrosion resistance is relatively poor. In humid environments or corrosive media, the aluminum alloy is susceptible to oxidation and corrosion. Therefore, it is usually necessary to apply a protective coating (such as anodizing, spraying, or coating treatment) on its surface to enhance its corrosion resistance and ensure reliability and durability in harsh environments.
