Material Specs For AL2023

Material Specs For AL2023

Material Specs For AL2023

(OP)
Hi all,

Does anyone of you have heard of Aluminum Alloy 2023? If so, could you provide me the material specifications as well as the vendor whom I and reach to buy?

Thanks!

RE: Material Specs For AL2023

I checked the Aluminum Association registered alloys list for 2004 and no 2023 alloy is listed.

RE: Material Specs For AL2023

No mention of Al 2023 in the following references:
Aluminum, vols. I, II & III (1967),
ASM Handbook vol. 2, 9th Edn. (1979),
Aluminum: Properties and Physical Metallurgy (1984),
Smithells Metals Reference Book, 7th Edn. (1992),
Handbook of Materials for Product Selection, 3rd Edn.; the 178-page chapter "Aluminum" covers Aluminum Association & ASTM specs. (2001),
Light Alloys, 4th Edn. (2006),
www.astm.org
www.matweb.com

I found limited supplies from an Internet search:
Pipe and tube fittings for handrails, with mill, satin and anodized finishes:
http://www.geobezdan.com/geobezdan/index.jsp?cid=321&sid=-20-750-3211

Aluminum 2023-T351 Hexagons, sizes 8' to 12' lengths, 1/4" to 3"
http://www.hagertysteel.com/products/aluminum.html

Due to the lack of data and availability, cannot possibly recommend for any critical use, especially not aerospace.   

RE: Material Specs For AL2023

I couldn't find it in Mil handbook 5, ASM Handbook vol 4 (heat treatment), PWA manual, T.O. 1-1A-9, or any of the filler rod guides we have here at Edwards either.  2008, 2024, and 2219 sure, but no 2023.

sorry,

Kalroy
