P. Ainsworth, R. Nash, Kaiser Aluminum, Spokane, WA; R. Parkinson, Kaiser Aluminum, Foothill Ranch, CA; R. Dorward, Kaiser Aluminum, Escalon, CA

Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products introduces aluminum alloy 6019 sheet and plate for aerospace applications.   6019 is a medium strength Aluminum alloy with improved fatigue, fracture, and corrosion performance than incumbent alloys such as 6013 and with good strength, formability, and weldability characteristics. In particular, Kaiser 6019 provides the opportunity for affordable performance driven aerospace structures through improved performance and producibility characteristics.
