Aluminum 2024-T6
Categories:	Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Aluminum Alloy; 2000 Series Aluminum Alloy
Material Notes:	Weldability = C; Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance = B; General Corrosion Resistance = D (A = best; E = worst). Good machinability and surface finish capabilities. A high strength material of adequate workability. Has largely superseded 2017 for structural applications. Uses: Aircraft fittings, gears and shafts, bolts, clock parts, computer parts, couplings, fuse parts, hydraulic valve bodies, missile parts, munitions, nuts, pistons, rectifier parts, worm gears, fastening devices, veterinary and orthopedic equipment, structures. Some data provided by Alcoa. Data points with the AA note have been provided by the Aluminum Association, Inc. and are NOT FOR DESIGN. Composition Notes: A Zr + Ti limit of 0.20 percent maximum may be used with this alloy designation for extruded and forged products only, but only when the supplier and the purchaser have mutually agreed. Composition information provided by the Aluminum Association and is not for design.
Key Words:	Aluminium 2024-T6; UNS A92024; ISO AlCu4Mg1; AA2024-T6; Al2024-T6
