Aluminum 2024-T3

Categories:

Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Aluminum Alloy; 2000 Series Aluminum Alloy

Material
Notes:

General 2024 characteristics and uses (from Alcoa): Good machinability and surface finish capabilities. A high strength material of adequate workability. Has
largely superceded 2017 for structural applications.
Uses: Aircraft fittings, gears and shafts, bolts, clock parts, computer parts, couplings, fuse parts, hydraulic valve bodies, missile parts, munitions, nuts, pistons,
rectifier parts, worm gears, fastening devices, veterinary and orthopedic equipment, structures.
Data points with the AA note have been provided by the Aluminum Association, Inc. and are NOT FOR DESIGN.
Composition Notes:
A Zr + Ti limit of 0.20 percent maximum may be used with this alloy designation for extruded and forged products only, but only when the supplier or producer and
the purchaser have mutually so agreed. Agreement may be indicated, for example, by reference to a standard, by letter, by order note, or other means which
allow the Zr + Ti limit.
Aluminum content reported is calculated as remainder.
Composition information provided by the Aluminum Association and is not for design.
