2024 Aluminium Plate
Containing 3.8% to 5% copper.
2024 plate offers good mechanical properties with good machinability and high fatigue strength.
2024 is a high strength aluminium plate product containing 3.8% to 5%copper. The alloy is one of the strongest commercial aluminium alloys available. Cold formability can be limited when used fully heat treated as can weldability and natural corrosion resistance is generally poor. Therefore, a protective coating is often required. Note that 2024 aluminium alloy is not suitable for fusion welding. We stock 2024 aluminium plates in a wide range of sizes and tempers (including T3 and T351 tempers).
Processing
We offer a complete plate cutting service using a range of vertical and CNC saws. We cut plates to tight tolerances to match our customers individual requirements up to 330mm thick.
