2024 Aluminum Properties & Stock
2024 Aluminum is a high-strength, copper-alloyed aluminum known for its excellent fatigue resistance. While it offers slightly lower strength than 7075, its ability to withstand repeated stress cycles makes it an essential material for aircraft structures. Future Alloys provides certified 2024 aluminum in plate, bar, and rod form to meet the stringent demands of the aerospace industry.
Common Applications for 2024 Aluminum
Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, machinability and ease of welding, 6061 is used in:
- Aircraft fuselage and wing tension members
- Shear webs and ribs
- Precision structural components
- Transportation and automotive parts requiring high strength-to-weight
