2618A - a strong aluminium alloy containing nominally 2% copper and 1.5% magnesium.
The alloy is solution treated and artificially aged to achieve the T6 condition or with the addition of controlled stretching to achieve the T6511 temper. 2618A can be employed to a maximum of 300°C and retains mechanical strength relatively well to around 200°C and above. The alloy has a density of 2.75 g/cc.
2618A aluminium alloy offers good machinability and has fair resistance to atmospheric attack. It is a strong aluminium alloy and can be used to produce clad sheet and strip.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock 2618A in flats, round bar, plate, sheet and round tube.
Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector. We believe this underlines our total commitment to quality and our ethos of being the complete service provider.
