2195 aluminium alloy

2195 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium-copper family. It is one of the Weldalite family of Aluminium–lithium alloys. It is one of the most complex grades in the 2000 series, with at least 91.9% aluminium by weight. 2195 aluminium can be alternately referred to by the UNS designation A92195.

Properties
Like most other aluminium-copper alloys, 2195 is a high-strength alloy, with bad workability, and poor corrosion resistance. Being highly alloyed, it tends to fall on the higher strength and lower corrosion resistance side. As a wrought alloy, it is not used in casting. It can be welded, particularly by friction stir welding, and is fracture resistant at cryogenic temperatures. ==Applications==
Applications
The high strength to weight ratio of this alloy has resulted in its aerospace applications such as the Space Shuttle Super Lightweight external tank. It is 30 % stronger and 5 % less dense than the 2219 alloy used in the original Space Shuttle external tank. and for the new ULA Vulcan first stage. ==Chemical composition==
Chemical composition
The alloy composition of 2195 aluminium is: • Aluminium: 91.9 to 94.9% • Copper: 3.7 to 4.3% • Lithium: 0.8 to 1.2% • Magnesium: 0.25 to 0.8% • Silver: 0.25 to 0.6% • Zirconium: 0.08 to 0.16% • Iron: 0.15% max • Silicon: 0.12% max • Titanium: 0.1% max • Zinc: 0.25% max • Residuals: 0.15% max ==References==
