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.
