Prodsuct Feature and Application
Aluminum / Aluminum alloys have high ductility and corrosion resistance. At subzero temperatures, their strength can be increased. However, their strength can be reduced at high temperatures of about 200-250°C. Aluminum / Aluminum 2618 alloy is an age hardenable alloy containing magnesium and copper.
Aluminum / Aluminum 2618 alloy is mainly used in manufacturing aircraft engines.
