AU4GN aluminium is a top-grade alloy used extensively in aerospace and aviation components. Known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior machinability, this alloy is ideal for aircraft frames, fuselage panels, and other critical aerospace structures. Russian Metals offers a range of AU4GN aluminium products, including plates, sheets, and bars, that meet the rigorous demands of aerospace manufacturers.

AU4GN Aluminium Alloy is a high-strength, heat-treatable aluminum–copper–magnesium alloy (Al-Cu-Mg system) that delivers excellent mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and good machinability. It is the French designation equivalent to 2017 or Duralumin, one of the earliest and most widely used aircraft-grade aluminum alloys.
Engineered for structural, aerospace, and mechanical engineering applications, AU4GN Aluminium Alloy combines strength and ductility with good resistance to wear and dynamic stress. Its balanced composition makes it suitable for load-bearing components, riveted assemblies, and precision parts that require long-term reliability.
