2618A Aluminium Bar
Designed for high-temperature service.
Although originally designed for aerospace applications, 2618A is also the leading material for racing piston production and widely used for a variety of high-temperature service applications.
This is because of its versatility and machinability. It is a copper and magnesium aluminium alloy that is fairly corrosion resistant in atmospheric conditions. This makes it ideal for producing components that are exposed to elevated temperatures. It maintains its mechanical strength at temperatures up to 200°C with deployment up to a maximum of 300°C.
Stock Availability
We have available 2618A aluminium bars in a wide range of sizes.
Processing
We offer comprehensive billeting services using a range of equipment. Our products are cut to tight tolerances to match our clients' needs, which often negates the need for further cutting operations. Our team of qualified metallurgists and engineers will also be pleased to assist you further and provide comprehensive technical and sales support.
