Notes

Aluminum 2219 is a high-strength, heat-treatable alloy with good cryogenic properties, making it widely used in aerospace fuel tanks, pressure vessels, and structural components.

Definitions

‘Yield Strength’: The stress at which a material begins to plastically deform.
‘Ultimate Strength’: The maximum stress that a material can withstand before fracture.
‘Thermal Conductivity’: The property of a material to conduct heat, measured in watts per meter-kelvin.
