Aircraft Aluminum Sheet
Aircraft aluminum sheets are widely used in the aerospace field due to their unique advantages such as low density, moderate strength, easy processing and forming, strong corrosion resistance, rich resources, and strong recyclability. The skin, beams, ribs, stringers, bulkheads and landing gear on the aircraft can all be made of aluminum alloy. The crew cabin, front fuselage, middle fuselage, rear fuselage, vertical tail, flaps, elevators of the space shuttle The ailerons and horizontal tail are made of aluminum alloy.
Aircraft Aluminum Sheet Introduction
Aircraft aluminum sheets have good mechanical and processing properties, good plasticity after solution treatment, and good heat treatment strengthening effects. They generally have high strength and good toughness below 150°C (or even higher), making them ideal aviation structural materials. Mainly used in aviation industry design and manufacturing.
Aluminum alloys used in aircraft structures are mainly high-strength 2 series (2024, 2017, 2A12, etc.) and ultra-high-strength 7 series (7075, 7475, 7050, 7A04, etc.), and some 5 series (5A06, 5052, 5086, etc.) and 6 series (6061, 6082, etc.) and a small amount of other series aluminum materials.

Aircraft Aluminum Sheets Advantages
1. High strength, much better than mild steel, and compact structure;
2. After solid solution treatment, its plasticity is better; the heat treatment strengthening effect is good;
3. Good mechanical properties;
- High temperature: As the temperature increases, the strength of the alloy decreases, and the strength is high at room temperature.
- Low temperature: The alloy has particularly good low-temperature strength and toughness. In liquid nitrogen at -196°C, the alloy’s strength and toughness are still very high;
4. It has good cutting performance under heat treatment strengthening state and good wear resistance;
5. It has good anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation properties, but has a tendency of stress corrosion cracking;
6. The welding performance is poor and cracks are prone to occur during welding. It cannot be fusion welded, but it can be contact welded by strong pulse current.
