What are the characteristics of Chalco 5056 aviation aluminum wire?
Good surface quality
- Surface flatness: the surface should be smooth and flat, without significant protrusions or depressions.
- Surface cleanliness: the surface should be free from impurities such as oil, dust, and oxide scale.
Good processing properties
- Good plasticity suitable for deep drawing;
- Good weldability suitable for various welding methods;
- Good machinability suitable for various cutting and drilling operations.
Light weight
Compared with other metal materials, aluminum alloy has a lower density, which can reduce the weight of the structure and help improve the fuel efficiency and load capacity of the aircraft.
