Aircraft Aluminum Sheet VS Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet

Aircraft aluminum sheet is an ultra-high-strength deformed aluminum alloy, which is currently widely used in the aerospace industry. It has good mechanical and processing properties, good plasticity after solution treatment, good heat treatment strengthening effect and good toughness, which is an ideal structural material.

Compared with common alloy aluminum sheet, aircraft aluminum sheet has higher requirements for strength, hardness, toughness, fatigue resistance and plasticity. Due to the light weight and light weight, aircraft aluminum has replaced the leading position of steel.

There are many types of aluminum alloys used on airplanes. The aircraft aluminum sheet is mainly used for airfoil skins, airfoil long rafts,side frames, fuselage skins,etc. The commonly used alloys are 2 series and 7 series aluminum alloy.

1. Al-Mg-Cu alloy: It is the most widely used aluminum alloy in the aviation industry. The typical ones are 2024, 2A12, 2017A, which have good strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and good plasticity.

2. Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy: It belongs to a super hard aluminum alloy. The typical ones are 7075 and 7A09, which has high strength, high yield strength and large load. They can be used to make the upper wing and the beam on the wing.

3. Al-Mg alloy: The typical ones are 5A02, 5A06 and5B05. It has high corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, good plasticity and weldability. They are often used to make fuel tanks, tubing, etc.

4. Forged aluminum alloy: The typical one is 6A02, which is with high hardness and good corrosion resistance. It is used to make engine parts, joints, etc.
