The values shown in the mechanical properties table apply to a test sample prepared by forging representing extruded forging stock and forgings made from cast billets,hot rolled plate and extruded stock. The specification contains other properties for test samples prepared by machining representing extruded foring stock and forgings made from extruded stock.
THe hardness values apply to forgings and forged test pieces.
Applications:
High strength structural components: aircraft (e.g. fittings and wheels), military vehicles and bridges, forgings for trucks and machinery (hydraulic etc.). Weapons manufacture, structural applications.
Characteristics:
Heat treatable alloy. High mechanical strength slightly higher than 2011 and 2017A.
Alloy Designations
Aluminium alloy L103 - 2014A is covered by Standard BS EN 2100 and has similarities to the following standard designations and specifications:
2014 / 2014A AMS 4121
Temper Types
The most common temper for L103 - 2014A aluminium forging stock is T4
- T4 - Solution heat treated and naturaly aged to a substantially stable condition
- T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged
