2 series aluminum alloy has good machinability and good performance of contact welding, spot welding and roll welding. However, the performance of electric arc welding and gas welding is poor. It can be strengthened by heat treatment and has extrusion effect.
It is applied to occasions requiring high strength and hardness (including high temperature), such as aircraft heavy, forgings, thick plates and extruded materials, wheels and structural elements, first stage fuel tank of multistage rocket and spacecraft parts, truck frame and suspension system parts, etc.
