An aluminum-copper alloy that does what other 2000 series alloys do not: it is rated readily weldable, it holds strength hot and it works cold. Fuel tanks, skins and structural parts.

T62: 0.020–2.000 in, AMS 4031 and AMS-QQ-A-250/30. T81: 0.020–0.249 in, AMS-QQ-A-250/30. MIL-HDBK-5J Table 3.2.8.0(b1), p. 3-168. For T62 the user's properties may be lower if the material was formed or worked before solution treatment. S, A and B are the MIL-HDBK-5J statistical bases. L is the longitudinal grain direction, LT the long transverse. Bearing values are dry-pin values.

Notes from the guide

  • Not a source of design allowables. Values are for reference. MMPDS and the SRM govern a repair.
  • Not a substitution approval. A different alloy or temper needs approved data.
  • Welding structure is approved-data work. A weld repair needs the SRM or an approval.
