2618 bar stock
Jun 18,2025
2618 bar stock is an aluminum - based alloy.
Properties
Strength and Heat Resistance
It has relatively high strength, especially at elevated temperatures. This makes it suitable for applications where components need to withstand mechanical loads at moderately high temperatures. For example, in some parts of aircraft engines that are exposed to heat during operation but also need to bear certain mechanical stresses.
Composition
The alloy typically contains elements like copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and some other minor elements. The copper content contributes to its strength and heat - resistant properties. Magnesium helps in improving the alloy’s mechanical properties and also has some influence on its corrosion resistance.
Machinability
It can be machined using standard machining techniques, although special considerations may be needed due to its alloy composition. Machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut need to be optimized to achieve good surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Applications
It is often used in the aerospace industry for manufacturing components such as engine parts, structural elements in aircraft where high - temperature strength and good mechanical properties are required. It can also be used in some high - performance automotive applications where heat - resistant and strong components are needed.
