The 2024 aluminum alloy (with copper as the primary alloying element) is also known as aerospace grade aluminum. It is commonly used in aircraft structural applications due to its high strength and fatigue resistance and those requiring high stress & strain resistance in aviation and industrial applications. This alloy is stronger but less versatile than 6061, which is more corrosion resistant, easier to weld, and more suited to machining, but less strong than the 7075.
2024 aluminum alloy sheets/plates are offered as Annealed (O Temper, without heat treatment ) or Heat Treated in different tempers to attain their maximum strength, including the current listed T3 or others (such as T4,T5,T6 and T651) separately listed.
2024 T3 Alloy Aluminum sheets/plates are offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines for a wide range of uses including aerospace, clock parts, computer parts, hydraulic parts, bolts, valves, nuts, pistons and gears. Sourced from quality producers, they are offered in different thicknesses & standard stocked or cut-to-order widths and lengths in inches. They can be furnished in different finishes, Untreated (Bare), Anodized or CLAD (sometimes referred to as ALCLAD) for improved corrosion resistance.
Anodization makes aluminum stronger, longer-lasting, and more durable in a wider variety of environments and applications. The surface becomes three times as hard as untreated aluminum, with increased resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and physical impact damage. CLAD sheets/plates are formed from high-purity aluminum surface layers metallurgically bonded to the aluminum alloy core material providing improved protection against fracture, fatigue crack growth & improved corrosion resistance.
Depending on the selected product & manufacturer they comply with US SAE AMS, ASTM specifications or other standards.
AVIATIONEU NEW ERA 2024 T3 Alloy Aluminum sheets/plates are sold in pieces or in bulk with US or Metric Ton (as specified) as the unit of sale. Transport to customer destination can be arranged at additional cost. Small quantities are usually shipped by air transport while for bulk quantities sea/sea-surface transport is used. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) depend on the required product. Approximate time for shipping is usually 1-2 months from the time of order placement and payment receipt, depending on the ordered quantity. Appearing prices are indicative per unit of sale. Prices and availability are subject to confirmation with our co-operating suppliers before order confirmation.
Note: All AVIATIONEU NEW ERA metals are supplied free from oil stains, dents, inclusions, scratches, oxide discolorations, corrosion, or other defects, with PVC film cover, one/two side(s), depending on the producer & properly packaged for protection during the shipment.
