2618A - a strong aluminium alloy containing nominally 2% copper and 1.5% magnesium.
The alloy is produced as bar, plate, tube and is also available as clad sheet and strip. Solution treated and artificially aged to achieve the T6 condition or with the addition of controlled stretching to achieve the T6511 temper. 2618A can be employed to a maximum of 300°C and retains mechanical strength relatively well to around 200°C and above. The alloy has a density of 2.75 g/cc.
