AU2GN (АУ2ГН)
AU2GN Aluminium: Premium Alloy for Automotive & Engineering Applications
AU2GN aluminiumis a high-strength, heat-treatable aluminium-copper-magnesium-nickel (Al-Cu-Mg-Ni) alloy, renowned for its exceptional mechanical strength, hardness, and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. It is one of the most advanced alloys from the 2000 series, developed specifically for aerospace, defense, and heavy engineering applications that demand both durability and resistance to fatigue under high stress.
This alloy derives its superior properties from the synergistic combination of copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and nickel (Ni). Copper provides strength through precipitation hardening, magnesium enhances hardness and toughness, while nickel significantly improves thermal strength retention — allowing AU2GN to maintain mechanical performance even at elevated temperatures where other aluminium alloys might soften or lose structural integrity.
Overview of AU2GN Aluminium
AU2GN belongs to the 2xxx series of aluminium alloys, which are primarily alloyed with copper and magnesium. This alloy is renowned for its high strength andexcellent resistance to fatigue, making it ideal forheavy-duty tooling, jigs, and machine bases.
AU2GN is closely related to AA 2219 andAA 2024 but offers enhanced performance forhigh-load applications, where mechanical reliability and toughness are essential.
- •High strength-to-weight ratio, similar to 2017A and 2024.
- • Excellent machinability, especially suitable for high-precision CNC and aerospace parts.
- • Good fatigue resistance, performing well under repeated mechanical stress.
- • Acceptable corrosion resistance when anodized or Alclad-coated.
