About Aluminum 2024-T3 Rectangular
Aluminum is one of the earths most abundant metallic elements. With the exception of oxygen and silicon, it is perhaps the most widely distributed of all the elements. Obtained principally from bauxite, alumina (aluminum oxide) is a white metal with a slightly bluish coloration. Pure (99.9 percent) aluminum melts at 1220F (660C). Its density is .097 lbs per in3 and has approximately two-thirds the thermal and electrical conductivity of copper, and it is non magnetic. Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, and has an attractive silvery appearance. Aluminum is an extremely versatile material, it may be cast or wrought, it is available in a variety of alloys and tempers, and it accepts many different kinds of surface finishes, including anodic treatments. Machinability is considered easy and it can be soldered and welded. Alloy 2024 T4 Hardware, fittings and structural components made of these aircraft alloys are used extensively in the aircraft and transportation industries. Used where good strength to weight ratio is required, this high-strength Aluminum has excellent fatigue resistance and can be machined to a fine finish. It may be formed in the annealed condition and can be heat treated. It is rated only fair for welding, although spot welding and seam welding are commonly practiced.
