2024 Aluminum Plate is made of an aluminum-copper alloy, with high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum sheet 2024 has several applications including truck and aircraft wheels, truck suspension parts, and is useful in aircraft fuselage components.
The main 2xxx series aircraft alloy for more than fifty years, 2024 aluminum is an alloy that is widely used on everything from fuselages and wing tension members through to sheer webs and any area where a tough, durable alloy solution is required. One of the major advantages of using 2024 T351 aluminum sheet or 2024 aluminum sheet is its resistance to metal fatigue. Over time, many metals can become stressed and weakened by repeated exposure to load bearing or other forces. The 2024 aluminum has been specifically formulated to deal with this problem, allowing repeated load bearing to be undertaken without ill effect. In industries where performance and dependability are at an absolute premium, using 2024 aluminum can be the perfect solution.
Alloy 2024 aluminum sheets are perhaps the best known and most widely used aircraft alloy. Since it exhibits high yield strength and relatively good fatigue resistance, it is readily used on structures and parts where good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. Because of its good machinability and superior grain structure, Alloy 2024 sheet is essential for precision fittings and parts. Though this alloy does not have good corrosion resistance, welding by resistance method is feasible.
