Aluminium copper alloy used in aerospace industries
2014 aluminium alloy (aluminum) is an aluminium-based alloy often used in the aerospace industry. https://www.smithsadvanced.com/2014a-aluminium.htm Datasheets - Aluminium Alloy - BS-L - L168 T6511 - 2014A Bar Smiths Metals Ltd 2012-11-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20190920071009/https://www.smithsadvanced.com/2014a-aluminium.htm 2019-09-20 dead
It is easily machined in certain tempers, and among the strongest available aluminium alloys, as well as having high hardness. However, it is difficult to weld, as it is subject to cracking. http://www.suppliersonline.com/propertypages/2014.asp 2014 Aluminum Material Property Data Sheet - Product availability and request a quote
2014 is the second most popular of the 2000-series aluminium alloys, after 2024 aluminium alloy. It is commonly extruded and forged. The corrosion resistance of this alloy is particularly poor. To combat this, it is often clad with pure aluminium. If unclad 2014 aluminium is to be exposed to the elements, it should be painted as a corrosion protection measure.Marks' Standard handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 8th Ed., McGraw Hill, pp. 6-50 to 6-56
Prior to the adoption of The Aluminum Association alloy designations in 1954, 2014 was known by the industry conventional designation "14S". Oberg Erik Machinery's Handbook https://archive.org/details/machineryshandbo00jone_981 limited 27th 2004 Industrial Press Inc 578 978-0-8311-2700-8 etal

2014A aluminium alloy
2014A is an alloy of aluminium that is very similar (but not entirely identical) to 2014. Because of the naming similarity, the two can be confused. The alloy composition of 2014A is:
Aluminium: Remainder
Chromium: 0.1% max
Copper: 3.9% - 5%
Iron: 0.5% max (versus 0.7 for 2014)
