The aircraft skin aluminum alloys of conventional aircraft are mainly aluminum-magnesium alloys, and the common ones are 2024 and 2A12. And some high-performance aircraft will use titanium alloys or composite materials as skin materials. The performance of aluminum alloy is very good, because the weight of aluminum alloy is very light, relatively speaking, the metal is not so lively, and it is easy to process, so most of the world's military aircraft and civil aircraft use aluminum alloy to make aircraft skins.
2024 aircraft skin aluminum alloy has become one of the most widely used aluminum alloy materials in the aviation industry due to its high strength, small specific gravity, good heat resistance and good machinability. 2024 aluminum alloy can be used as aircraft skin. Aircraft alloys can be divided into single curvature skins, hyperbolic skins and complex shape skins according to their shapes.
Single-curvature aircraft skin, as the name suggests, has a relatively simple shape and only one direction of curvature, and is mostly used for aircraft fuselage and wings.
Hyperbolic aircraft skins are biaxially stretched and are generally used for most air intakes and components of the aircraft.
Literally, complex-shaped aircraft skins are used for components such as hoods and wingtips.
The aircraft skin 4 x 8 aluminum sheet and skin are made by riveting process, which is relatively simple, has high stability and is more convenient to maintain. Aircraft are generally larger in size, and the riveted aircraft skin can be removed and repaired during aircraft maintenance without damaging the entire aircraft structure. Huawei Aluminum M provides the best-selling 2024 aluminum alloy for aircraft skin manufacturing, we also provide other aluminum alloys for other aircraft parts processing, these aircraft alloys can represent the manufacturing strength of aluminum processing enterprises, both ISO and SGS certificates are available.
