Aluminum alloy 7050 has high strength at subzero temperatures. However, their strength can be reduced at high temperatures. 7050 is heat treatable so as to produce mechanical properties of high strength and toughness. It has very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Commonly used in the manufacture of aircraft and other structures.
5052 has the highest strength alloy of the non-heat treatable grades and offers high workability, strength, corrosion resistance, and it can be easily welded. It has good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. With excellent workability it can be easily drawn and formed into intricate shapes.
Popularly known as “the aircraft alloy”, 2024 has higher properties than 2011 or 2017 an is largely used for aircraft fittings. It is widely used for all types of threaded fasteners because of its relatively higher shear strength.
