2024 Aviation aluminium sheet - 2 series aviation aluminium sheet

According to the study, into the air of the space vehicle, each reduce 1kg, its launch costs will save about 20,000 U.S. dollars, so the structure of weight reduction in the field of aerospace can be described as "gram counting". If the weight of the fighter aircraft is reduced by 15%, it can shorten the aircraft glide distance by 15%, increase the range by 20% and improve the payload by 30%. Therefore, countries around the world attach great importance to the development and development of aerospace lightweight structural materials. Among them, as a 2 series aviation aluminium sheet, 2024 aerospace aluminium sheet and 2024 aviation aluminium sheet is a very important lightweight material, which can be used as aerospace aluminium sheet to produce aerospace equipment.

Series 2 aluminium alloys' representations include 2024, 2A16 (LY16) and 2A02 (LY6). In addition, there is the 7000 series aluminium alloy representing 7075. It mainly contains zinc elements, also belongs to the aviation series, is an aluminium-magnesium-zinc-copper alloy, is a heat treatable alloy, belongs to the super hard aluminium alloy, has good wear resistance, also has good weldability, but the corrosion resistance is poor. And 2014 aviation aluminium alloy is used in applications requiring high strength and hardness (including high temperature), such as aircraft heavy, forged, thick plate and extrusion materials, wheels and structural components, multi-stage rocket first stage fuel tanks and spacecraft parts, truck frame and suspension system parts.

With the unique advantages of low density, moderate strength, easy processing and forming, high corrosion resistance, abundant resources and recyclability, 2024 aerospace aluminium sheet is widely used in the aerospace field. Aircraft skins, beams, ribs, trusses, spacers and landing gear can all be made from aluminium alloys. The crew compartment, front fuselage, centre fuselage, rear fuselage, drogue, flaps, elevating ailerons and horizontal tail of the Space Shuttle are all made from aluminium alloys. The amount of 2024 aluminium sheet used for aircraft varies depending on the application. Civilian aircraft that focus on economic efficiency use a lot of aluminium alloys because they are cheap, for example, the Boeing 767 passenger aircraft uses about 81% of the weight of the fuselage structure. Some aerospace aluminium alloys have good low temperature properties and can work in liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen environments, making them a good material for liquid rockets. The fuel tanks, oxidiser tanks, inter-box sections, inter-stage sections, tail sections and instrument pods of the Saturn 5 launch vehicle, which launched the Apollo spacecraft, are all made of aerospace aluminium alloys.
