Aluminium Alloy 2024 is a high-strength, heat-treatable aluminium-copper-magnesium alloy widely used in aerospace and mechanically loaded structures.
Provides high specific strength after heat treatment.
Widely used where cyclic mechanical loading is important.
Offers good machining characteristics for structural aluminium.
Copper content reduces corrosion resistance compared with many 5xxx alloys.
Aluminium Alloy 2024 is selected for applications that match its specific strength, corrosion, forming, machining and service characteristics.
Commonly used for aircraft skins, frames and structural components.
Used for highly loaded aerospace and industrial parts.
Used in selected transport structures requiring high strength.
Used for appropriate high-strength aluminium hardware.
T4, T3, T6 and other tempers can produce very different strength levels.
Cladding, coating or other protection may be used for demanding environments.
Fusion welding requires careful engineering because localized strength reduction can occur.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for Aluminium Alloy 2024 is 3.1355. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
Yes. It is a precipitation-hardening aluminium alloy.
Its corrosion resistance is lower than many 5xxx and 6xxx alloys, so protection may be required.
Typical uses include aircraft structures, highly loaded machined parts, transportation components and aerospace hardware.
