High Strength Aluminum Plate

Aluminum sheet and plate are lighter in weight than steel brass and copper and have high strength to weight ratios.

High strength aluminum plate.

One of the most commonly used high strength aluminum alloys. Hard aluminum alloy sheet specifications 7090 for high strength structure. 6013 is often fabricated into high stress machine parts. The secret to aluminum s strength comes down to chemistry.

Other sizes on request. 7075 alloy is the most common high strength true aircraft aluminum alloy used today. Copper magnesium silicon manganese and zinc are used as. This will help you narrow down the list of suitable grades.

Aluminum al wq68 is a high strength 7000 series aluminum alloy made via adavanced wrought processing route. The strength exceeds 700 mpa with good ductility. The secret to strength. In fact this alloy is often used in aircraft components such as fuselage frames and.

Al wq68 shows higher strength even at high thickness sections compared to a7075 alloy. Hard aluminum alloy sheet high strength. Alloy 7050 aluminum plates more so than 7075 are used frequently for aerospace requirements particularly in the range of 3 to 6 inches thick. With its combination of high strength and excellent fatigue resistance it is commonly used where a good strength to weight ratio is desired.

This grade can be machined to a high finish and it can be formed in the annealed condition with subsequent heat treating if needed. Aluminum has typical tensile strength between 40 mpa to 700 mpa. As the strongest multipurpose aluminum we offer 6013 aluminum has the same good corrosion resistance weldability and machinability as 6061 with increased strength. Common additives used to increase the strength and formability of aluminum include silicon magnesium and copper.

If your application requires high strength then 7050 t7451 aluminum plate could be what you need. Offering good corrosion resistance and conductivity of heat and electricity most alloys also provide moderate formability and machinability. 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.

The mechanical strength of aluminum can be increased by cold working and alloying. Al wq68 is available up to d 180mm rectangle bars 200x100mm. With a mere 40 ksi yield strength it s use on aircraft is limited to non critical low stress components.
