Aluminium 2618 Applications | Commonly used in the manufacture of aircraft engines. |
Aluminium 2618 Machinability | AL 2618 has excellent machining characteristics. The heat treated (aged) condition will allow machining to a smoother finish than is the case for annealed or water quenched conditions. |
Aluminium 2618 Forming | Formability, both hot and cold, is good. |
Aluminium 2618 Welding | Resistance welding may be done satisfactorily. The amount of heat input by other welding means may be harmful to this alloy and thus conventional fusion welding methods should NOT be used. |
Aluminium 2618 Heat Treatment | Solution heat treatment is done at 985 F for a period of time that will permit thorough heating and solutioning. This may be as long as 24 hours for heavy sections. A water quench follows this heating. Annealing and age hardening heat treatments are also possible - see "Annealing" and "Aging". |
Aluminium 2618 Forging | Hot forging is done in the range of 970 down to 700 F, starting with the material preheated to 970 F. |
Aluminium 2618 Hot Working | This alloy may readily be hot worked in the temperature range of 660 to 700 F. |
Aluminium 2618 Cold Working | The alloy has good formability and is readily cold worked in either the solution heat treated or annealed condition. |
Aluminium 2618 Annealing | Annealing, which may be required as a result of cold work, may be done at 725 F for 4 hours followed by slow cooling (typically furnace cooling). |
Aluminium 2618 Aging | The aging heat treatment (T 61) is accomplished by first solutioning at 980 F for up to 24 hours (depending on section size) followed by quench in boiling water and then aging at 390 F for up to 20 hours (minimum of 5 hours again dependent upon section size) and air cooled. |
Aluminium 2618 Tempering | Not applicable. |
Aluminium 2618 Hardening | Hardens by cold working and aging heat treatment for T 61 condition. See "Aging". |
Aluminium 2618 Other Physical Props | Electrical conductivity 36% of copper. |
Aluminium 2618 Other Mechanical | Shear strength for the T 61 (aged) material is 40 ksi. |
