We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
2099 is an aluminium lithium alloy. The addition of lithium increases the strength modulus of the aluminium alloy while lowering its density. Extrusions are available in two tempers from 0.050 to 3.00 inch (1.2 to 76mm thicknesses).
High strength and excellent corrosion resistance with moderate fracture toughness
Lower strength but very high fracture toughness and excellent fatigue crack growth resistance.
Alloy 2099 extrusions have been available since the mid-2000s and are specified for use on many commercial aircraft and helicopter programs.
2099 aluminium lithium alloy is a low-density material with high stiffness. With superior damage tolerance and excellent corrosion resistance, the alloy offers excellent weldability.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock 2099 in flats, round bar, plate, rectangular tube and square bar.
Our knowledgeable staff and resident metallurgists will be pleased to assist you further on any technical topic. Smiths Metal Centres Limited also boasts an in-house UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory which is unique within the multi-metal and plastic stockholding sector.
