Alloy 2024 aluminum plates are possibly the best known and maximum extensively
used airplane alloy. Because it famous high yield power and relatively properly fatigue
resistance, it's miles without difficulty used on structures and components wherein correct
electricity-to-weight ratio is desired. Because of its precise machinability and superior grain
shape, alloy 2024 plate is critical for precision fittings and components. Even though this
alloy does no longer have suitable corrosion resistance, welding through resistance technique is
feasible.
Standard specifications are ASTM B209, AMS-QQ-A-250/4 and AMS4037.
Applications
• Fuselage structural
• Wing tension members
• Shear webs and ribs
• Precision fittings
• Truck wheels and parts for transportation
