Property data for 2004 Aluminum alloy?
Property data for 2004 Aluminum alloy?
(OP)
Howdy all,
I am looking at finding a substitute for 2004-F or 2004-T62 Aluminum alloy. This alloy is used for super plastic forming. Since it is a specialty item there are no published material properties that I could find. Does anyone have material data for me to evaluate alternate materials to use as a substitute? We will be using a different forming process.
Thanks,
-Kirby

Since this is a high strength alloy, and I'm assuming you need something in sheet kinds of thickness (not a forging, not screw machined from bar, etc.), I would start with 2024-T81. If stress corrosion cracking is a concern, you may want to investigate other alloys like 2124, 7050, 7475, etc.

The material is covered by AMS4208 (for bare) and AMS4209 (for alclad). Would this spec have the minimum values? That would give my substantiation a better grounding.
