Its Mg and Mn content has been adjusted to ensure the strength and other properties equivalent to those of 2024 T3 aluminum while its fatigue strength is increased by 10%, the fracture toughness is increased by 20%, and the fatigue crack growth rate of the material is specified in the AMS standard for the first time, making the alloy a real damage tolerance alloy. Development of 2XXX Aircraft Aluminum Sheets There are at least dozens of wrought aluminum alloys used in aircraft, mainly Al-Cu and Al-Zn alloys. Al-Cu alloy,that is 2xxx aluminum, is of medium-high strength, high fatigue and high corrosion resistance, inluding 2024, 2124, 2224,2324, 2524 and so on. Al-Zn alloy, that is 7xxx aluminum, is of high-strength and high fatigue resistance, including 7050, 7055, 7075 and so on. The corrosion resistance of 7xxx alloy is not as good as that of 2xxx alloy, especially the stress corrosion resistance, so 7xxx aluminum needs a special heat treatment process to improve the corrosion resistance.

9. 2xxx aluminum alloys are mainly used in aerospace. For example, 2024 is mainly used for propeller structures and aircraft fuselage; 2124 is mainly used for aircraft appearance and wings; 2224 aluminum is mainly used for aircraft structures; 2524 is mainly used for aircraft appearances. 2024 T3 aluminum was developed earlier. In order to give full play to the potential of the alloy, the research on the heat treatment process at the tempers of T361, T81 and T861 has been carried out. The derivatization of 2024 alloy is to improve the plasticity, toughness and strength of the alloy while keeping the main alloy elements substantially unchanged. By reducing the Fe and Si impurity content in 2024 alloy, new alloys such as 2124, 2224, and 2524 have been developed one after another. In the 1970s, on the basis of the traditional 2024 alloy, the 2124 alloy with high purity, high strength and high toughness was developed by reducing the content of impurities such as Fe and Si. 2xxx Aluminium Aircraft Grade 2xxx aluminum is with copper as the main alloy element. It includes It includes Al-Cu-Mg alloy, Al-Cu-Mg-Fe-Ni alloy and Al-Cu-Mn alloy. All of these alloys can be heat treated.

10. The tensile strength of 2××× aluminum alloy is 400~500 MPa, which is lower than the room temperature strength of 7××× aluminum alloy, but its heat resistance, fatigue resistance, especially fatigue crack growth resistance are all higher than 7xxx aluminum. Among the 2xxx aluminum alloy, the 2024 alloy invented in 1939 is the more commonly used one. 2024 alloy has brought great changes to the structure and performance of aircraft, and also laid the foundation for the development of 2xxx aluminum aircraft grade. The main alloy element of 2024 aluminum alloy are Cu, Mg, Mn, and Fe and Si are the main impurities. 2024 T3 Aluminum is a common temper, which high plasticity, fatigue resistance, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth resistance, but its corrosion resistance is poor. 2024 aluminum plate mainly used on fuselages, wings, shear ribs and webs, and other structural parts that require high strength. Artificial aging can be used to improve the corrosion resistance, heat resistance and yield strength of 2024 alloy, but the plasticity and fatigue fracture resistance will decrease, and

11. the fatigue crack growth rate will also increase. 5xxx Marine Grade Aluminium Sheet The raw material of ships was originally mainly steel. With the advancement of technology and the lightweight requirements, marine grade aluminium sheet is gradually used in the hull parts of yachts and ships, and the level of all-aluminization has gradually increased. The main parts like hull, deck, piston, pump, etc., can all be made of aluminum alloy. According to different manufacturing processes, marine aluminum plates can be divided into deformed aluminum plates and cast aluminum plates. Because marine aluminum plates have special requirements for strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability, Al-Mg alloys, Al-Mg-Si and Al-Zn-Mg alloys are often used. The 6xxx aluminum alloy always has intergranular corrosion in seawater, so it is often used for super structure of the ships. The 7xxx aluminum has the disadvantage of poor corrosion resistance, so the range of use is limited. 5xxx aluminum is the most widely used. 5083, 5086 and 5456 are the three main
