2014 / 2014A Aluminium

Excellent Mechanical Properties

We stock 2014 / 2014A aluminium in various forms to support markets such as motorsport and aerospace.


2014 & 2014A offer virtually identical chemistry - 2014A has slightly less iron and silicon content. Both products are used in applications which require high mechanical strength and fatigue resistance. The alloy offers a high strength level, reasonably good elevated temperature resistance & fatigue performance for a broad spectrum of applications. The product also provides excellent machinability and decent hardness, and although corrosion resistance is average, the material is often hard anodised as a protective measure. 2014 aluminium is easily plated.

Popularity:

2014 aluminium represents the second most popular 2xxx series aluminium alloy available. Our products are available in numerous tempers and forms which are available to our customers, ex-stock.

Processing:

We use state-of-the-art processing equipment to cut your material to your specific size requirements. We undertake processing in-house and often process and dispatch material on the same day. We also stock material in metric and imperial sizes.

Applications:

The alloy is highly suitable for applications requiring high strength and fatigue resistance. Typical applications include uprights, fasteners and hydraulic components.

Where performance matters:

When you purchase high-performance materials from Smiths High Performance, you will join some of the biggest and best global engineering companies. We are a Tier 1 supply chain partner to the world's leading motorsport companies. Our unique business structure and ethos allow us to offer services otherwise unavailable in this market sector.
