Aluminum alloy rod 2024

for the aerospace industry

Workability is good and components can easily be machined to a high finish. Weldability is generally poor, although it can be flash spot or seam welded if necessary. 2024 is used in applications where a high strength/weight ratio is required. Bars are produced in drawn, rolled or cold-finished form. Stock Availability Smiths Advanced Metals stocks bars from grade 2024 in various shapes, sizes and tempers (including T3, T351, T3511, T4, T6 or T851 tempers).
