AVIATIONEU NEW ERA Aluminum Alloy ALCLAD O Temper (Annealed) Sheets SKU: AVEUNE-SHT-AL2024-ALCLAD-O

The AL2024 aluminum alloy (with copper as the primary alloying element) also known as aerospace grade aluminum, is commonly used in aircraft structural applications due to its high strength and fatigue resistance.  It is suitable for applications requiring high stress and strain resistance. The AL2024 aluminum alloy is stronger but less versatile than AL6061 alloy, which is more corrosion resistant, easier to weld, and more suited to machining, but less strong than the AL7075 alloy.

AL2024 aluminum alloy sheets come as Annealed (O Temper) without heat treatment or as heat treated to attain their maximum strength. Heat treated sheets are available in vatious T tempers (such as T3,T4,T5,T6 and T651) for use in a range of aviation and industrial applications.

2024-O CLAD (ALCLAD) Aluminum alloy sheets(*) are offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines and they consist an excellent choice when high corrosion resistance is needed. Sourced from quality producers, these sheets  are readily formed in the annealed condition and may be subsequently heat treated. They feature good machinability and can be machined to a high finish. They are offered in different thicknesses and specific widths and lengths in inches. They comply with AMS and ASTM specifications.

For additional information, please refer to our attached Brief Guide on Aluminum Grades & Temper Designations, the individual product presentations or contact us for quotation.

(*) ALCLAD is a corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet formed from high-purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded (rolled onto) to high-strength aluminium alloy core material. As an enhanced sheet for fuselage applications, ALCLAD offers improved fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth while maintaining the strength characteristics of the alloy. ALCLAD also offers improved fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth while maintaining the strength characteristics of the alloy.

Heat treated sheets are available in vatious T tempers (such as T3,T4,T5,T6 and T651) for use in a range of aviation and industrial applications. Since corrosion resistance of AL2024 is relatively low, it is commonly used with an anodized finish or in CLAD form (ALCLAD) (*) with a thin surface layer of high purity aluminum.  As an enhanced sheet for fuselage applications, ALCLAD offers improved fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth while maintaining the strength characteristics of the alloy.

(*) Difference between CLAD (ALCLAD) and Heat Treat Bare Aluminum

ALCLAD is a corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet formed from high-purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded (rolled onto) to high-strength aluminium alloy core material.

Heat treated aluminum has the addition of copper, magnesium, zinc or silicon. This allows the material to be heat treated or solution heat treated. While the addition of these alloying elements allows for greater strength it also reduces the corrosive resistance of the material and that is where cladding comes in.  To increase the corrosion resistance the material is clad with high purity aluminum. The clad is usually a film from 2.5% to 5% of the total thickness of the material and not only protects it from corrosion but also has a galvanic effect to further protect the core material.
