2024 Aluminium Bar
Containing 3.8 to 4.9 % copper.
The alloy is a heat treatable material with both high strength and excellent fatigue resistance
Workability is good and components can easily be machined to a high finish. Weldability is generally poor, although it can be flash spot or seam welded if necessary. 2024 is used in applications where a high strength/weight ratio is required. Bars are produced in drawn, rolled or cold-finished form.
Stock Availability
Smiths Advanced Metals stocks bars from grade 2024 in various shapes, sizes and tempers (including T3, T351, T3511, T4, T6 or T851 tempers). We also export aluminium bars worldwide.
