What Are Aluminium 2014 Plates and Blocks?
Aluminium 2014 is a high-strength alloy primarily composed of copper, magnesium, and aluminium. Plates and blocks made from this alloy are commonly used in aerospace and structural applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. They offer good machinability and weldability, making them suitable for various engineering purposes.
Aluminium 2014 plates and blocks are alloys composed primarily of aluminum, copper and manganese that offer exceptional corrosion resistance - perfect for applications exposed to moisture or harsh environments where durability may be an issue. Their long lifespan also make these materials highly suitable in outdoor or marine settings where degradation could threaten durability over time.
Aluminum 2014 plates and blocks boast remarkable machinability, making shaping, cutting and drilling operations simpler than ever before. Their superior machinability has long made them popular materials among industries requiring precision machining, particularly aerospace and automotive manufacturing - due to the ease with which intricate components can be created with minimum waste production resulting in cost-efficiency and productivity gains.
Aluminum 2014 plates and blocks boast outstanding weldability thanks to the composition and properties that allow efficient welding processes that result in strong, long-term joints. Their composition makes for efficient welding processes which produce strong welds with seamless integration into assemblies or structures requiring welding for fabrication, further increasing their versatility across manufacturing industries.
Aluminum 2014 plates and blocks find use across many industries, from aerospace to transportation and construction. Their lightness allows aerospace designers to use this material in structural components for aircraft fittings or engine parts; in transportation they make for superior fuel economy by adding support elements in vehicle frames or panels to enhance vehicle structural elements, all contributing to better overall vehicle efficiency and performance.

Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Forming
Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment strengthens rolled steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most steel is heat treated by annealing.
Cutting or Machining
Steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
Finishing
Steels can be made with a wide variety of surface finishes. The chosen surface finish is not purely aesthetic. The type of finish is determined by the intended application.
