(The chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys is supplied in percentage by mass. Limits are expressed as a maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum)

Aluminium alloy 2024 has a very high strength, slightly higher than 2014. High fatigue strength is used to an advantage on structures and parts where good strength to weight ratio are required.

Applications

Alloy 2024 commonly used for aerospace components – machined or fabricated items. Also used for engineering.

* Properties given are typical and should only be used for comparisons of alloys.Actual values will depend on section specification.

** Aerospace materials are covered by the ‘L’ series of British standards.
