What is 8009 F-HIP?

8009 F-HIP is 8009 in the F-HIP temper — billet or near-net P/M preform condition; use only where subsequent hot working is not possible, as ductility is lowest. 8009 F-HIP has a yield strength of 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) and a tensile strength of 365 MPa (52.9 ksi) — stronger than 80% of aluminum grades. Elongation at break is 7% and the elastic modulus is 87 GPa (12.6 Msi). 8009 F-HIP has a density of 2.94 g/cm³ (0.106 lb/in³), heavier than 99% of aluminum grades. It melts at 645°C (1,193 °F). F-EXT is the default condition FabDigit quotes; F-HIP is available on request or by drawing note.

Galvanic Potential (seawater, vs SCE)-0.75 V
Corrosion ResistanceFair48/100
Chemical Resistance SummaryGood in neutral atmospheres and fuels; the fine Al12(Fe,V)3Si dispersoids act as cathodic sites so pitting and crevice attack in chlorides are worse than for 6061; poor in strong acids and alkalis.

Sustainability4

Producing a kilogram of 8009 F-HIP takes about 260 MJ of energy and emits 16 kg of CO₂ — more than 99% of aluminum grades. Typical recycled content is 0%.

Manufacturability7

8009 F-HIP's machinability is fair (40/100, worse than 81% of aluminum grades); weldability poor (25/100); formability poor (20/100).

Working with 8009 F-HIP

Is 8009 easy to machine?

Machine like a high-silicon Al: PCD or fine-grain uncoated carbide, high speed, light feed and flood coolant — the Al12(Fe,V)3Si particles wear HSS quickly.

Can 8009 be welded?

Avoid fusion welding (dispersoid coarsening kills elevated-temperature strength); use friction/inertia welding, FSW, diffusion bonding or mechanical fastening.

Can 8009 be formed, bent or molded?

Produced only by rapid-solidification powder/ribbon consolidation plus hot extrusion or hot rolling; warm-form sheet at 200–350 °C, cold formability is poor.

What surface finishes work on 8009?

Anodizing gives dark, patchy films; prefer chromate-free conversion coating plus high-temperature primer, or bare use with a thin sol-gel/paint system.

8009 F-HIP — frequently asked

What is 8009 F-HIP used for?

8009 F-HIP is typically used for aerospace elevated-temperature components, turbine engine parts and high-temperature airframe structures. In short: 315 °C service aluminum; dispersion-strengthened, not age-hardened; specialty aerospace availability.

What is the yield strength of 8009 F-HIP?

8009 F-HIP has a typical yield strength of 320 MPa (46.4 ksi) and a tensile strength of 365 MPa (52.9 ksi) — stronger than 80% of aluminum grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 3 listed tempers.

Is 8009 F-HIP easy to machine?

Not especially — machinability is rated fair (40/100, worse than 81% of aluminum grades). Machine like a high-silicon Al: PCD or fine-grain uncoated carbide, high speed, light feed and flood coolant — the Al12(Fe,V)3Si particles wear HSS quickly.

Can 8009 F-HIP be welded?

Not readily — weldability is rated poor (25/100). Avoid fusion welding (dispersoid coarsening kills elevated-temperature strength); use friction/inertia welding, FSW, diffusion bonding or mechanical fastening.

What surface finishes work on 8009 F-HIP?

Anodizing gives dark, patchy films; prefer chromate-free conversion coating plus high-temperature primer, or bare use with a thin sol-gel/paint system.

Can 8009 F-HIP be formed, bent or molded?

Produced only by rapid-solidification powder/ribbon consolidation plus hot extrusion or hot rolling; warm-form sheet at 200–350 °C, cold formability is poor.

What is the maximum service temperature of 8009 F-HIP?

8009 F-HIP is rated for continuous use to about 315°C (599 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.

What is the difference between 8009 F-EXT and 8009 F-HIP?

F-EXT is the default condition — standard supplied condition for bar, profile and forging stock; highest longitudinal strength. F-HIP: billet or near-net P/M preform condition; use only where subsequent hot working is not possible, as ductility is lowest. Yield strength is 385 MPa in F-EXT versus 320 MPa in F-HIP.
