Aluminum alloys are widely used in the aerospace industry due to their lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. With the continuous advancement of aerospace technology, the demand for materials has been increasing, making the use of aluminum alloys even more crucial.

The density of aluminum alloys is about one-third that of steel, making them an ideal choice in aerospace design. This lightweight characteristic not only reduces the weight of aircraft but also improves fuel efficiency and extends flight range. Additionally, the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys ensures longevity in various environmental conditions, particularly in high humidity and marine environments.

In the aerospace sector, aluminum alloys are primarily used in the manufacture of aircraft fuselages, wings, engine components, and structural parts.

Application Solution for Aerospace Aluminum Bar

Aluminum Bar Rod for Aerospace - Aircraft skin, fuselage frame, wings, rivets, etc.

2000 Series Typical Aluminum Bar

  • 2024 aluminum rod is one of the most commonly used materials in the aerospace industry. It possesses excellent formability and weldability, making it particularly suitable for manufacturing load-bearing structures for aircraft fuselages and wings.
  • 2A12 aluminum rod (corresponding to the international grade 2024) is easier to process than 7075 aluminum rod and has higher strength than 6061 aluminum rod, making it a preferred material for aircraft structural components. It is suitable for medium-temperature applications such as engine nacelles and high-temperature pipe supports.
  • 2219 aluminum rod has excellent weldability and fracture toughness, and exhibits high resistance to stress corrosion cracking in the T8 state. It is mainly used for welding oxidizer tanks in aerospace rockets, and for skin and structural components of supersonic aircraft.
Aluminum Bar Rod for Aerospace - Aircraft wing spars, skin, landing gear

7000 Series Typical Aluminum Bar

  • 7075 aluminum bar is typical ultra-hard aluminum alloys. In the T6 temper, they possess a tensile strength of 570-605 MPa, a yield strength ≥505 MPa, and a hardness of 150-170 HV, making them one of the strongest aluminum alloys currently available in industrial applications. 7075-T651 temper exhibits excellent dimensional stability, with deformation after machining ≤0.1%, making it suitable for high-strength structural components such as aircraft wing spars, landing gear connectors, engine compartment components, satellite supports, and rocket propulsion system components.
  • 7050 aluminum bars are an improved version of 7075, with 30% higher strength, better fracture toughness, and stronger resistance to fatigue crack propagation. They are mainly used for medium-thick plates, extrusions, free forgings, and die forgings in aircraft structural components.
  • 7A04 aluminum bar have a tensile strength of 500-600 MPa and a hardness of 140-155 HB. They are mainly used for high-strength structural components such as aircraft wing spars, skins, and landing gear, as well as molds and high-load mechanical frames.
Aluminum Bar Rod for Aerospace - Aircraft internal frame, stringers, brackets, seat rails, etc.

6000 Series Typical Aluminum Rod

  • 6082-T6 aluminum bar belong to the Al-Mg-Si alloy system, with a tensile strength ≥310MPa, yield strength ≥260MPa, and elongation ≥10%. While not as robust as ultra-hard aluminum alloys like 7075 in high-load-bearing main structures, 6082-T6 is widely used in secondary load-bearing structural components such as frames, stringers, brackets, and seat rails in aircraft, exhibiting good overall performance (strength, machinability, and weldability).
  • 6061 aluminum bar possess moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, and weldability, primarily used in aircraft skin, fuselage frames, beams, rotors, propellers, fuel tanks, panels, and landing gear struts.
Aluminum Bar Rod for Aerospace - Aluminum alloy rivets

5000 Series Typical Aluminum Rod

  • 5000 series aluminum-magnesium alloys possess moderate strength, excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, and fatigue performance. Among them, 5A05 aluminum alloy is commonly used in aircraft structural components, wings, fuselages, and wheel hubs, meeting the aerospace industry’s requirements for strength, lightweight design, and corrosion resistance. 5xxx aluminum alloy rivet wire is widely used in aerospace structures, exhibiting superior low-temperature performance, making it particularly suitable for the service environments of spacecraft and aircraft.
