2024 aluminum is very strong compared to most aluminum alloys, has good fatigue resistance, and average machinability.
0.25" Thickness, 12" Width, 24" Length
T351
2024 is typically used in aerospace applications, clock parts, computer parts, hydraulic parts, bolts, valves, nuts, pistons, and gears.
Meets AMS-QQ-A-250/4, AMS-4037, ASTM-B209
The 2024 aluminum sheet with T351 temper has an unpolished (mill) surface, meets SAE Aerospace Material Specifications AMS-QQ-A-250 and AMS-4037 and American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM B209 standards, and has a standard tolerance. The 2024 heat-treatable aluminum alloy is stronger than 2017 aluminum and provides good machinability and fatigue resistance. The aluminum has a T351 temper, meaning it has been heat treated for increased strength. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight compared to steel, brass, and copper, and have high strength-to-weight ratios. They offer good corrosion resistance and conductivity of heat and electricity, as well as moderate formability and machinability. Aluminum alloys include elements that modify the aluminum to achieve specific properties such as better weldability or greater strength. All series of aluminum alloys are nonmagnetic. Aluminum alloys have temper designations, indicating that the material has undergone a process to achieve certain properties of strength and hardness. Tensile strength, used to indicate the material’s overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded.
