2219 Aerospace Aluminum Forgings

2219 aerospace aluminum forgings are a high-strength, high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy widely used in the aerospace field.

2219 aluminum alloy is a high-strength alloy with good machinability and mechanical properties. It is useful in the temperature range of -452°F to 600°F, easy to weld, and exhibits good fracture toughness. In the T8 condition, it is resistant to stress corrosion cracking.

2219 aluminum is commonly used in various aerospace applications, such as high-temperature structural applications including space boosters and fuel tanks. The aerospace industry also benefits from the excellent corrosion resistance of 2219 aluminum forgings, which is crucial for the lifespan and reliability of aircraft components exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

2219 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy that can be age-hardened and is typically used in high-temperature applications, particularly in aerospace. Heat treatment allows the alloy to achieve high strength but reduces ductility. Attractive characteristics include high resistance to stress corrosion and good fracture toughness.
