High-Performance 2024 Aluminum Round Tube

The 2024 aluminum round tube is one of the most popular high-strength aluminum tubes in a heat-treated condition, characterized by its high strength and excellent fatigue resistance, making it ideal for aerospace and structural applications. Its copper alloy composition provides a good strength-to-weight ratio, although it has relatively poor corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for lightweight components that require high strength.

Popular Products of 2024 aluminum round tube

2024 drawn seamless aluminum tube

  •  2024 aluminum round tube
    2024 seamless round tube
    • Temper: O, T3
    • Outer Diameter: 0.125"- 8"(3 - 200 mm)
    • Specifications: ASTM B210, AMS-WWT-700/3

The 2024 drawn aluminum tube refers to aluminum that has been drawn at room temperature. Cold-drawn aluminum tubes are produced by pulling aluminum bars through a die, commonly used for manufacturing seamless tubes. This process results in high-precision tubing with a very smooth surface and tight outer diameter tolerances.

Features of 2024 Drawn Aluminum Tube

  • Seamless Structure: Offers good strength and excellent fatigue performance.
  • Drawing Process: Produces higher precision, smoother surfaces, and more uniform wall thickness.
  • High Strength: While it has high strength, its toughness is slightly lower compared to extruded tubes.

Applications of 2024 Drawn Aluminum Tube

Typically used in structures requiring high precision and strength, such as aircraft fuselage structures, fuel pipelines, and other applications where lightweight components must withstand high stress.

2024 Extruded Aluminum Tube

  •  2024 aluminum round tube
    2024 extruded round tube
    • Temper: O, T3511
    • Outer Diameter: 0.2" - 16" (5 - 420 mm)
    • Specifications: ASTM B241, AMS QQ-A-200/3
    Contact us now

The 2024 extruded aluminum tube is produced by heating aluminum billets and forcing them into a mold to create the desired shape. This process can manufacture both seamless and welded aluminum tubes. Seamless tubes are made from hollow billets and can withstand significant pressure.

Characteristics of 2024 Extruded Aluminum Tube

  • The extrusion process typically allows for thicker wall thicknesses and larger sizes, resulting in relatively high strength, but surface finish and precision are not as high as drawn tubes.
  • It offers greater ductility compared to drawn tubes, making it suitable for applications that must withstand complex stresses.

Applications of 2024 Extruded Aluminum Tube

This tube is ideal for larger sizes and applications requiring higher ductility, commonly used in aerospace structural components that demand high strength and toughness, as well as in mechanical equipment that requires certain strength and ductility.

2024 aluminum tube welding performance

The welding performance of 2024 aluminum tube is generally considered poor. It is not recommended to use arc welding or gas welding for this alloy. Instead, friction welding, flash welding, or seam welding are more suitable methods for joining. Despite the limitations in welding, 2024 aluminum performs well in both hot and cold working, making it ideal for structural applications.

Why is 2024 called"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, which make it particularly suitable for the manufacture of aerospace structural components. Its mechanical properties can be further enhanced through cold working and heat treatment, and it is widely used in critical areas of aircraft, including fuselage, wing spars, and fasteners.

While its corrosion resistance is slightly lower compared to other alloys, surface treatments can effectively improve its durability. Due to its outstanding performance and long-standing applications, 2024 aluminum alloy has become one of the standard materials in the aviation industry.

Differences between 2024 t3 aluminum tube and 7075 t6 aluminum tube

Alloy Composition:

2024-T3 Aluminum Tube: Primarily alloyed with copper, containing 3.8% to 4.9% copper.

7075-T6 Aluminum Tube: Primarily alloyed with zinc, containing 5.6% to 6.1% zinc and a small amount of magnesium.

Strength:

7075-T6 Aluminum Tube: Offers significantly higher strength compared to 2024-T3, making it one of the strongest aluminum alloys available, suitable for extremely high-stress environments.

2024-T3 Aluminum Tube: While it has slightly lower strength, it is renowned for its excellent fatigue resistance, making it ideal for structures that endure dynamic loads over extended periods.

Corrosion Resistance:

2024-T3 Aluminum Tube: Exhibits poorer corrosion resistance, especially prone to oxidation in humid or corrosive environments.

7075-T6 Aluminum Tube: Slightly better in corrosion resistance than 2024-T3 but still requires surface treatment to enhance its protective properties.

Applications:

2024-T3 Aluminum Tube: Widely used in aerospace structures, particularly for components that demand high fatigue resistance.

7075-T6 Aluminum Tube: Commonly used in aerospace and military applications that endure extreme loads, such as aircraft wings and high-stress fasteners.
