2219 Aluminum Forged Tubing is a high-strength aluminum-copper alloy product for applications requiring low weight, good weldability, fracture toughness and reliable performance across demanding temperature ranges. Also known as UNS A92219, 2219 aluminum is widely used in aerospace and space-related components. Custom forged tubing can be supplied from drawings with specified outside diameter, inside diameter, wall thickness, length, heat-treatment condition and machining requirements.
Forged tubing is formed through controlled hot working to create a strong starting blank for subsequent machining. For large or thick-wall components, a forged tube can provide a practical combination of structural integrity, material utilization and machining allowance. AMS 4144 covers 2219 hand forgings and rolled rings in T852 and T851 conditions, while AMS 4143 covers 2219-T6 forgings and rolled or forged rings.
2219 is an age-hardenable Al-Cu alloy containing approximately 5.8–6.8% copper. It is valued for high strength, fracture toughness and good weldability, and is suitable for demanding temperature conditions. The final material condition should always follow the customer's engineering specification.
The principal designation is AA 2219 / UNS A92219. Depending on the application, customers may request T6, T851, T8511 or T852. Common aerospace forging specifications include AMS 4143 and AMS 4144. Related 2219 seamless tubing specifications include AMS 4066 and AMS 4068.
Other commonly requested aerospace aluminum forging grades include 2014, 2024, 2618, 6061, 7049, 7050, 7075 and 7175. 2014 and 2024 are common structural materials; 2618 is selected for elevated-temperature service; 7075, 7050 and 7175 are used where very high strength is required. 2219 is particularly attractive when weldability, fracture toughness and temperature capability need to be combined.
2219 forged tubing has no single standard size. Dimensions are selected according to the final component, forging reduction, heat treatment and machining allowance. Custom production can cover large-diameter and thick-wall tubular blanks. Published aerospace forging capabilities include forged tubes up to approximately 830 mm OD, 650 mm ID and 1,800 mm length, with larger open-die components possible depending on geometry and equipment.
For quotation, customers can provide OD, ID, length, wall thickness, quantity, temper, material standard, machining allowance and inspection requirements. We can work from 2D drawings or 3D CAD files and recommend a suitable forging and machining route.
2219 forged tubing is mainly associated with aerospace and space hardware. Typical uses include rocket and spacecraft structures, propellant and cryogenic tank components, engine-related structures, pressure-containing components, structural sleeves, manifolds, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and high-temperature support parts. Its combination of strength, weldability and temperature performance makes it suitable for large welded structures and components exposed to thermal cycling.
Example: custom 2219 forged tube for an aerospace assembly. A typical project begins with a forged tube blank supplied with machining allowance. The process can include rough turning of the OD and ID, CNC boring, face machining, drilling or port machining, finish turning, dimensional inspection and final cleaning. For large-diameter tubes, machining from controlled setups can help maintain concentricity and wall-thickness consistency. Flange faces, bolt circles, grooves, sealing surfaces, holes and other drawing-defined features can be finished by CNC machining.
2219 forgings can require careful process planning because material condition and residual stress may affect machining stability. A controlled sequence covering forging, heat treatment, stress relief, rough machining, finish machining and inspection helps achieve the required final dimensions.
We provide custom 2219 aluminum forged tubing for OEM and export projects. Services can include material sourcing, forging, heat treatment, rough machining, CNC finish machining, dimensional inspection and documentation.
Send your drawing, material specification, dimensions, quantity and delivery requirements. We can review the forging route and machining allowance and provide a competitive quotation for your 2219 Aluminum Forged Tubing project.
2219 aluminum forged tubing combines aluminum's low density with the strength, weldability, fracture toughness and temperature capability needed for demanding aerospace applications. Customized forging, heat treatment and CNC machining allow complex OD, ID, wall and length requirements to be produced efficiently. For large or special tubular aluminum forgings, a controlled forging route provides a robust manufacturing starting point.
We also provide forging blanks and CNC precision machining services for our clients, covering industries such as energy, petrochemicals, steel, engineering machinery, plastics, prevention and control, hydraulics, healthcare, and food. Please feel free to send us drawings for inquiries.
