aluminum sheet Property

Chemical Composition

• The main alloying element in 2014 aluminum plate is copper, with a copper content generally around 3.9% – 5.0%.
• It also contains other elements such as silicon (0.5% – 1.2%), manganese (0.4% – 1.2%), magnesium (0.2% – 0.8%) and a small amount of iron, zinc, titanium, etc. These elements play different roles in enhancing the performance of the alloy.

Mechanical Properties

• High Strength: Due to the addition of copper and other elements, 2014 aluminum plate has high strength among aluminum alloys. Its tensile strength can reach 400MPa – 500MPa or even higher after proper heat treatment and processing, which enables it to withstand large external forces.
• Good Toughness: It also has good toughness, which means it can resist cracking and breaking under the action of impact and vibration to a certain extent, and has good reliability in practical applications.
• Excellent Machinability: 2014 aluminum plate has good machinability and can be easily processed into various shapes and sizes through processes such as cutting, milling, drilling and forging, which is convenient for manufacturing various precision parts.

• Applications of 2014 aluminum plate

  • Aerospace Industry: It is widely used in the manufacture of aircraft structural components, such as wings, fuselages, landing gears and other parts. Its high strength and light weight characteristics can help reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve flight performance and fuel efficiency.
  • Automotive Industry: In the automotive field, 2014 aluminum plate is used to make some key components, such as engine blocks, transmission housings, and chassis components. It can not only reduce the weight of the vehicle, but also improve the performance and safety of the vehicle.
  • Military Industry: Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, it is also used in the manufacture of some military equipment and weapons, such as missile shells, gun barrels and other parts, which can meet the high-strength and reliable requirements of military applications.
  • High-End Equipment Manufacturing: It is also an important material in the manufacture of high-end mechanical equipment, such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots and other equipment. It can ensure the accuracy and stability of the equipment and improve the overall performance of the equipment.

  Processing and Heat Treatment

  • Processing: 2014 aluminum plate can be processed by hot rolling, cold rolling, forging, extrusion and other processes. Hot rolling is usually used to produce large-size plates, while cold rolling can improve the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the plates. Forging and extrusion are suitable for manufacturing complex-shaped parts.
  • Heat Treatment: The common heat treatment methods include solution treatment and aging treatment. Solution treatment can dissolve the alloying elements in the aluminum matrix to improve the strength and toughness of the alloy. Aging treatment can make the alloying elements precipitate out in an appropriate form to further improve the strength and hardness of the alloy.
