2014 Aluminium

2014 Aluminium is a high-strength alloy primarily used in aerospace and military applications. Known for its excellent machinability and toughness, it is a copper-based alloy with good mechanical properties, making it suitable for complex structural applications that require both strength and resistance to high stress. However, it has limited corrosion resistance, so it’s often used with protective coatings. Solitaire Steel & Engineering LLP, based in Khetwadi, Mumbai, India, is a trusted supplier and exporter of 2014 Aluminium products, offering a range of sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, bars, angles, channels, and fittings. We ensure the highest quality in accordance with global standards, making us a reliable partner for industrial clients worldwide.
