2024 Aluminum Plate is a high-strength aluminum alloy with copper as the primary alloying element. It boasts an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and good fatigue resistance, making it suitable for high-performance applications in the aerospace, automotive, and machinery sectors.
The common 2024-T3 temper is subjected to solution heat treatment and cold working, offering exceptional formability and high strength. Although it has lower corrosion resistance, its durability can be enhanced by surface cladding with pure aluminum (Alclad).

Why is 2024 known as "aircraft aluminum"?
2024 aluminum alloy is referred to as "aircraft aluminum" due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue resistance, and crack resistance, making it particularly suitable for the manufacturing of aerospace structural components. Its mechanical properties can be further enhanced through cold working and heat treatment, leading to widespread applications in critical areas of aircraft, such as fuselage, wing spars, and fasteners.
Although its corrosion resistance is somewhat lower, surface treatments can effectively enhance its durability. With its outstanding performance and a long history of application, 2024 aluminum alloy has become one of the standard materials in the aerospace industry.
