Aluminium Alloy Sheet Material

The temper designations mainly have 6061 t4 t451 al 6061 t6 6061 t651 etc.

Aluminium alloy sheet material. Aluminium alloy 2618a aluminum 2618 is typically used in aerospace and defence components. Tw metals stocks a full range of aluminum coil and sheet in several alloys to service a multitude of industries. Alloy 2618 2618a has good machinability and is fair resistance to atmospheric attack. An aluminum alloy is a chemical composition where other elements are added to pure aluminum in order to enhance its properties primarily to increase its strength.

Alloys are assigned a four digit number in which the first digit identifies a general class or series characterized by its main alloying elements. Technical data sheet aluminium alloy 2618a aluminum 2618 is a high strength aluminium alloy which contains both copper and magnesium. It has a melting point of about 500 degrees celsius or 932 degrees fahrenheit. Alclad is a corrosion resistant aluminium sheet formed from high purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded rolled onto to high strength aluminium alloy core material.

The non heat treatable alloys of 3xxx and 5xxxx are all strengthened by various degrees of cold working as denoted by the h tempers. The heat treatable alloys of 2xxx 6xxx and 7xxx are such that when subjected to thermal temperatures they gain pronounced strengthening.
