Description

Alloy 2024 is heavily utilized in aircraft applications because it has good machining characteristics and higher strength than either 2014 and 2017. Through cold formability is considered fair, it is one of the most popular alloys for cold heading and thread rolling applications as a result of the superior grain structure that can be obtained. Corrosion resistance and anodizeablilty are only fair.

Machinability

It is the basic alloy for cold finished square and rectangular bar, this is because of its high strength and good machinability, which are essential for precision fittings and parts.

Applications

Aircarft Fitting, Gears and Shafts, Clock Parts, Sockets, Hydraulics Valve, Computer Parts, Couplings, Missile Parts, Ammunitions Parts, Equipment Components, Precision Engineering, Military Equipment, Machine Building, Rivets, Sockets, Pistons Equipment Components.
