2014 Aluminum Bar
What is 2014 grade aluminium?
2014 grade aluminum is a high-strength aluminum alloy primarily alloyed with copper and is known for its excellent mechanical properties. It belongs to the 2xxx series of aluminum alloys, which are primarily copper-based alloys, and is commonly used in aerospace and high-stress applications due to its strength and machinability.
The 2014 aluminum bar is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy with copper as the main alloying element, providing superior mechanical properties and good machinability, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring high strength and hardness.
2014 Aluminum Bar Properties
- 1. High Strength and Hardness: The 2014 aluminum bar is one of the higher-strength commercial aluminum alloys and is especially suitable for heavy-duty structural components. Its strength can be further enhanced by heat treatment to meet the demands of industries like aerospace and heavy machinery.
- 2. Poor Corrosion Resistance: While the 2014 aluminum bar has excellent mechanical properties, its corrosion resistance is relatively weak. To address this, it is often clad with a layer of pure aluminum to significantly improve its corrosion resistance, especially in humid environments.
- 3. Good Machinability: The 2014 aluminum bar has good machinability, particularly in the heat-treated state. It is easy to perform machining operations such as cutting and turning, making it widely used in the production of complex parts.
- 4. Welding Performance: Due to its high copper content, the 2014 aluminum bar tends to crack during welding, requiring special processes and conditions. However, in some cases, it can be joined by riveting or specific welding methods like friction stir welding.
