The invention alloy is useful in making structural members for commercial airplanes including, but not limited to, upper wing skins and stringers, spar caps, spar webs and ribs of either built-up or integral construction. The invention alloy may be aged by 2 or 3 step practices while exceeding the SCC requirements for applications for which the invention alloy is primarily intended. The flexibility of the invention in this regard is useful for its application in multi-alloy or multi-material systems joined by welding or bonding and subsequently aged.

A spray-formed billet of the alloy is prepared by: charging aluminum and the other elements that are to make up the alloy into a crucible; melting the elements in the crucible to form the alloy; pouring the melted alloy through an atomizer to atomize the alloy in a spray chamber; and depositing the atomized alloy onto a collector disc at the bottom of the spray chamber to form the desired spray-formed billet. The billet can then be forged into a shaped product, such as an aircraft inboard main wheel half.
