2014A is a high strength aluminium plate product containing 3.9% to 5 % copper. The material offers attractive mechanical properties with good machinability. Cold formability can be limited when used fully heated treated as can weldability.
Natural corrosion resistance is poor and, therefore, a protective coating is often required. BS L93 aluminium alloy is the most popular specification from this grade. We offer stock availability of 2014A aluminium plates in a wide range of sizes and tempers (including T6, T651 or T652 tempers).
Processing
We offer a complete plate cutting service using a range of equipment including vertical and CNC saws. We process plates to tight dimensional tolerances to match our clients' needs which may also eliminates a requirement for additional cutting.
