An aluminum alloy is a chemical composition where other elements are added to pure aluminum in order to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength. These other elements include iron, silicon, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc at levels that combined may make up as much as 15 percent of the alloy by weight. Alloys are assigned a four-digit number, in which the first digit identifies a general class, or series, characterized by its main alloying elements.
Lightweight | Durable | Easy to process | Corrosion resistant | Available in a wide variety of alloys |
2024 aluminum alloy is primarily composed of aluminum, copper, and magnesium, with additional elements such as iron, silicon, manganese, and zinc. It is one of the most popular high-strength aluminum alloys and the predominant choice in the 2XXX series for aircraft applications. 2024 offers excellent strength after heat treatment but has low corrosion resistance. When used at working temperatures of 212°F (100°C) or higher, it must be heat-treated. The maximum operating temperature is 302°F (150°C), and under certain conditions, it is suitable for welding. This alloy is ideal for manufacturing components that must withstand medium to high pressure, high durability demands, or sharply fluctuating temperatures, such as those in aviation. Typical applications include seat frames and covers, safety barriers, brake drum cooling ribs, supports and struts, steering columns and links, train and vehicle construction, and various building industry applications.
