Aerospace Aluminum Alloy 2024
Aerospace aluminum alloy 2024 is indeed a typical aerospace grade aluminium alloy with a wide range of applications. The 2024 aerospace aluminum alloy has high strength, good fatigue resistance and a weight ratio that meets the requirements of the aerospace industry. For this reason, it is often used in wing and fuselage structures that are often subjected to tensile forces. In addition, 2024 aluminium alloy is usually formed by extrusion, but can also be found in sheet form. Its strength can be further increased by specific heat treatments such as T3, T4/T351 and T851. In addition to aerospace, 2024 aluminium alloy is widely used in automotive manufacturing, ship building and sports equipment manufacturing, and is favoured for its high strength and good machinability. At the same time, it is also superplastic and can be used in superplastic gas-expansion forming processes to obtain high-quality, high-precision parts through a single forming process. In ...
