2xxx Series 2014 Aluminum Alloy Sheet For Aerospace Industry
2014 alloy is primarily used in aerospace/military applications where high strength is critical.
For commercial uses, modified 2XXX/7XXX alloys are often preferred due to better corrosion
resistance.
Key Properties
Chemical Composition
Al-Cu-Mg-Si series alloy containing:
Cu (3.9-5.0%)
Mg (0.2-0.8%)
Si (0.5-1.2%)
Mechanical Properties
Tensile strength:
T6 temper: ≥480 MPa
T4 temper: ≥425 MPa
Elongation: 8-10% (T6)
Hardness: Up to 135 HB (T6)
Corrosion Resistance: Poor - requires surface protection
Heat Treatment: Responds well to T4/T6 tempers
Common Tempers
Temper Process Characteristics
T4 Solution heat treated + naturally aged High strength + good ductility
T6 Solution heat treated + artificially aged Maximum strength/hardness
O Annealed Soft state for forming
Main Advantages
