2024 Aluminium Sheet
Improved corrosion resistance once cladded.
2024 aluminium sheet benefits from high strength and improved corrosion resistance once cladded.
Often referred to as an aircraft alloy, 2024 aluminium sheet can be machined to a high quality finish. Workability of the alloy is good, but weldability is generally poor. 2024 is typically supplied with an anodised finish although it is also supplied in clad form (Alclad); this is when the original material is clad with a thin layer of purer aluminium for improved fracture toughness.
Stock Availability
We stock 2024 aluminium sheets in a wide range of thicknesses and tempers (including O, T3, T351, T4, T42 and T81).
Commercial Applications
2024 aluminium sheet finds use in commercial applications, including aircraft structures, military vehicles and general structural applications.
New Testing laboratory Testing laboratory
In 2024, our UKAS Materials Testing Laboratory relocated to a new, expanded, dedicated site in Biggleswade.
