Aviation Aluminum clad sheet 2024 T4

2024 T4 Aluminum CLAD sheet

The fuselages of civil aircraft are, for the most part, made from 2024 alloy sheet, clad on either surface with a low composition aluminum alloy, a 1050 or 1070 alloy for example. The thickness of the cladding on each surface may, according. to the thickness of the core sheet, typically represent between 1% and 15% of the total thickness. The purpose of the cladding alloy is firstly to provide sufficient corrosion resistance. Slightly generalized or pitting corrosion is tolerable, but it must not be penetrating so as not to attack the core alloy.
