Aluminum 2024

Grade Summary: This is one of the best known of high strength aluminum alloys. With excellent strength and fatigue resistance it is used to advantage on structures and parts where a good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. It can be subsequently hardened by artificial ageing.

Typical Applications: Aircraft structural components and parts for the transportation industry.
