    2024 Aluminium Sheet

    Uploaded by

    George Chachlakis
    This document provides technical data on 2024 aluminium sheet, including its composition, properties, specifications, grades, benefits, and applications. 2024 aluminium sheet has high strength and improved corrosion resistance when clad. It can be machined to a high quality finish and is workable, though welding is generally poor. The alloy is commonly anodized and supplied in clad form to improve fracture toughness. Key information about thickness, tempers, mechanical properties, physical properties, and chemical composition are also included.

    Aluminium & Clad Sheets


    High strength aluminium sheet with 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.

    We stock 2024 aluminium sheets in a wide range of


    thicknesses and tempers (including O, T3, T351, T4, T42
    and T81 tempers).

    Grades / Specifications
