2618 Aluminum Alloy

2618 aluminum is a high-strength, heat-treatable alloy from the 2000 series, primarily alloyed with copper, magnesium, and nickel. Known for its excellent mechanical properties, it offers high tensile strength, good machinability, and resistance to thermal degradation. Its ability to maintain strength at elevated temperatures makes it ideal for demanding applications such as aerospace components, high-performance automotive parts (e.g., pistons), and plastic molds.

Additionally, 2618 aluminum exhibits fair corrosion resistance and can be processed through various methods, such as forging, rolling, and machining. This alloy is widely used in industries requiring durability under high stress and temperature conditions.
