2024 Aluminum Plate

The main 2xxx series aircraft alloy for more than fifty years, 2024 aluminum is an alloy that is widely used on everything from fuselages and wing tension members through to sheer webs and any area where a tough, durable alloy solution is required. One of the major advantages of using 2024 t351 aluminum plate or 2024 aluminum plate is its resistance to metal fatigue. Over time, many metals can become stressed and weakened by repeated exposure to load bearing or other forces. The 2024 aluminum has been specifically formulated to deal with this problem, allowing repeated load bearing to be undertaken without ill effect. In industries where performance and dependability are at an absolute premium, using 2024 aluminum can be the perfect solution.

FAQ

2024-T351 aluminum is considered ideal for structural components due to how tough and durable it is. This alloy is formulated with a unique combination of elements including primarily copper, but also magnesium and small amounts of titanium and silicon, to name just a few.
2024-T351 aluminum performs exceptionally well under high-stress environments. This has made it ideal for structural components, and it is also commonly used in the construction of aircraft and trucking components. The alloy is extremely resistant to metal fatigue. It is formulated to undergo heavy load bearing repeatedly, without degrading in quality.
6061 aluminum is often compared to 2024-T351 aluminum, due to its similar nature. It is durable and tough, while being lightweight. Like 2024-T351, it has a high resistance to corrosion. However, in terms of overall durability and resistance to stress, 2024-T351 wins out. While 2024-T351 is primarily alloyed with copper, 6061s primary alloys are silicon and magnesium. This is the reason behind the two metals’ differences in stress resistance. 6061 is still a great option for anyone looking for an everyday, all-purpose aluminum alloy. 6061 is economical and lightweight and serves a lot of the same purposes as 2024-T351, although the latter is undoubtedly the better option for heavier duty applications such as in aircraft industries as it is much stronger.
