Metal Materials & Products

This category includes a range of metals such as steel, aluminum and others, in different alloys and tempers, used for manufacturing products in different forms (sheets and plates, bars/rods, tubes, wires, etc.). They are widely encountered in aerospace, automotive and many other industrial sectors. Alloys are created by adding small amounts of metallic elements into the base metals to improve their characteristics. These “alloying” elements allow a base metal to improve its attributes and better respond to the requirements of specific applications. Alloy metals an be classified in a variety of different ways depending on their composition (e.g. carbon, low-alloy or stainless steel, in the case of steels), manufacturing methods, finishing method (such as hot rolling or cold rolling), product form (bar,sheet, tube, etc), heat treatment (such as annealing, quenching and tempering), required strength level  as specified in ASTM standards) and others. Because of the wide variety of chemical compositions possible and the fact that some steels are used in more than one heat-treated, condition, some overlap exists among the alloy steel classifications. 

In the case of aluminum alloys, each alloy has attributes such as high strength, conductivity, and even resistance to environmental effects.  A naming system using four-digit designators has been developed by the US Aluminum Association, to organize them. The first digit represents the specific alloying elements and general characteristics of the group, or the “series”.

In selecting an alloy, its mechanical properties should be carefully considered. The mechanical properties of different alloys differ based on how they are heat treated, or made stronger using the tempering process.

Some important measures when considering mechanical properties include the yield strength, ultimate strength, shear strength, fatigue strength, as well as the modulus of elasticity and shear modulus. The yield strength describes the maximum amount of stress needed to elastically deform the part in a given loading arrangement (tension, compression, twisting, etc.). The ultimate strength, on the other hand, describes the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before fracturing. Before the fracture point, the material will undergo plastic (or permanent) deformation, and will not return to its original shape. For static applications, the yield strength is the more important design constraint as per industry standard design practices; however, the ultimate strength can be useful for certain applications where this kind of deformation is possible. The shear strength measures the maximum amount of “shearing” stress that a material can experience before it permanently deforms. Fatigue strength is the ability of a material to resist breaking under cyclical loading, where a small load is repeatedly imparted on the material over time. This value is useful for applications where a part is subject to repetitive loading cycles such as vehicle axles or pistons. The modulus of elasticity and shear modulus are measures of a material’s resistance to deformation.

Sourced from quality producrs, a wide range of metals are offered, most of them as part of our own branded (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. They are available in pre-cut dimensions or cut-to-oder, meeting different specifications and in diferent units of sale, (pieces or tons) depending on the wanted order quantity and requirements.

  • Mfr. P/N & Title: 15CDV6 Steel Alloy Seamless Round Tube OD.(mm) 40.0 X Wall Th.(mm) 1.5 X L.(m) 2.0

15CDV6 (DIN WL 1.7734) Low...

Metal products from 15CDV6 (DIN WL 1.7734) grade alloy steel in different forms (tubes, bars, sheets and plates) are now offered as part of OEM or our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines.

Available in different thicknesses, widths and pre-cut or cut-to order lengths in Metric system and grades/specifications  (*)  to meet the application requirements. Priced per piece or unit weight (kg or ton for substantial quantities).

The 15CDV6 grade is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (CrMoV) heat treatable low carbon steel, a trully multifunctional material that excels in various areas such as mechanical strength, toughness, machinability, thermal stability, lightweight properties, and compatibility with a wide range of materials. Highly regarded & used in aerospace, motorsports and other industries due to its high tensile and compressive mechanical strength for structural components aimed to endure high stresses, its robustness and resistance to fracture or cracking under various load conditions for applications where safety cannot be compromised.Common uses in aerospace include aircraft chassis and fuselage structures, landing gear components (struts, wheel axles, and others) but also  for bolts, screws, and other fasteners like rivets. Also used for rocket engines, parts for electric motors, racing vehicle frames, pressure vessels, suspensions, or vital components in the nuclear and defense industries. 

The 15CDV6:

- combines a high yield strength (superior to SAE 4130) with good toughness and weldability with very little loss of its properties and without the need for further heat treatment. 

- is  low weight. For similar mechanical performance, it offers a more favorable strength-to-weight ratio than many other steels.

- has excellent machinability. Whether for cutting, forming, or welding, 15CDV6 suitability to various processing methods, results in ease of handling and reduces production costs.

- has excellent thermal stability making this alloy a material of choicel in aerospace, where components are subjected to extreme temperature ranges, from very cold to very hot, without compromising their performance.

- is compatible with other metals and composite materials frequently used in the aerospace industry. This compatibility facilitates its integration into complex systems, making it a preferred choice for engineers and aircraft designers.
