Aluminum 2024

Grade Summary: Aluminum 2024 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
  • Transportation industry parts
