2024 Aluminum
Tailwind Aerospace Solutions stocks 2024 aluminum in plate, sheet, bar, and rods for aerospace and commercial manufacturing applications.. As one of the most widely specified aircraft alloys in the industry, 2024 aluminum delivers the high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance that structural aerospace components demand. Our inventory is certified to the specifications your engineering and procurement teams require, and every item ships with full mill traceability.
Properties and Performance
2024 is a copper-alloyed aluminum with an ultimate tensile strength reaching 68 ksi in the T351 temper. It offers good fatigue resistance under cyclic loading, making it a go-to choice for parts and structures subjected to sustained stress. Machinability is rated above average, and the alloy responds well to heat treatment in both the T3 and T4 conditions.
Because corrosion resistance is lower than that of other aluminum alloys, 2024 is frequently supplied in clad form (Alclad) or with an anodized finish to protect the base material. Clad sheet provides an added layer of high-purity aluminum on the surface, preserving the alloy's mechanical properties while improving its resistance to atmospheric and chemical exposure.
