High Strength Aluminum Plate

Alloy 7050 aluminum plates more so than 7075 are used frequently for aerospace requirements particularly in the range of 3 to 6 inches thick.

High strength aluminum plate.

Aluminum yield strength tensile strength and ductility values at room temperature are given in the following aluminum strength chart. Al wq68 is available up to d 180mm rectangle bars 200x100mm. 7075 alloy is the most common high strength true aircraft aluminum alloy used today. The mechanical strength of aluminum can be increased by cold working and alloying.

Al wq68 shows higher strength even at high thickness sections compared to a7075 alloy. In fact this alloy is often used in aircraft components such as fuselage frames and. The secret to aluminum s strength comes down to chemistry. Aluminum has typical tensile strength between 40 mpa to 700 mpa.

This will help you narrow down the list of suitable grades. This grade can be machined to a high finish and it can be formed in the annealed condition with subsequent heat treating if needed. Other sizes on request. One of the most commonly used high strength aluminum alloys.

As the strongest multipurpose aluminum we offer 6013 aluminum has the same good corrosion resistance weldability and machinability as 6061 with increased strength. Aluminum sheet and plate are lighter in weight than steel brass and copper and have high strength to weight ratios. With its combination of high strength and excellent fatigue resistance it is commonly used where a good strength to weight ratio is desired. Hard aluminum alloy sheet high strength.

Copper magnesium silicon manganese and zinc are used as. With a mere 40 ksi yield strength it s use on aircraft is limited to non critical low stress components. If your application requires high strength then 7050 t7451 aluminum plate could be what you need. For example if weldability is most important to your project but strength is not it may make sense to choose alloy 1100 as this aluminum grade has excellent weldability but is not typically used for high strength or high pressure applications.

Pure aluminum is mixed with other elements to create high strength alloys. 6013 is often fabricated into high stress machine parts. The strength exceeds 700 mpa with good ductility. Common additives used to increase the strength and formability of aluminum include silicon magnesium and copper.

Aluminum al wq68 is a high strength 7000 series aluminum alloy made via adavanced wrought processing route. High strength serospace structure. The secret to strength.
