Alclad 2014-T3 Aluminum alloy,Aluminum 2014-T3 alloy,E FORU

### **Alclad 2014-T3 Aluminum Alloy Product Introduction** **1. Overview** Alclad 2014-T3 is a specialized version of the 2014 aluminum alloy in the T3 temper, featuring a protective aluminum coating on both surfaces. The "Alclad" construction combines a high-strength 2014 aluminum core with a thin layer of high-purity aluminum, providing excellent mechanical properties along with superior corrosion resistance. The T3 temper (solution heat-treated, cold worked, and naturally aged) offers high strength combined with good formability, making it ideal for structural applications in corrosive environments. **2. Chemical Composition (Typical, % by Weight)** The core material maintains standard 2014 aluminum composition while the cladding is high-purity aluminum. | Element | Core (2014) | Cladding | |---------|-------------|----------| | **Aluminum (Al)** | Balance | ≥99.0% | | **Copper (Cu)** | 3.9-5.0 | ≤0.10 | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.50-1.2 | ≤0.20 | | **Magnesium (Mg)** | 0.20-0.8 | ≤0.10 | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.40-1.2 | ≤0.10 | | **Iron (Fe)** | ≤0.20 | ≤0.40 | | **Zinc (Zn)** | ≤0.10 | ≤0.10 | *Note: The high-purity aluminum cladding provides sacrificial corrosion protection while the 2014 core delivers high strength characteristics.* **3.
