PTJ Shop has a reputation for machining quality parts from Aluminum alloy 2024. We can machine intricate parts on our CNC Swiss machines and CNC turning centers.

Aluminum alloy 2024 is a high-strength hard material that can be heat-treated and strengthened. It has moderate plasticity in quenched and quenched state. Spot welding is good. There is a tendency to form intergranular cracks during gas welding. After quenching and cold hardening, the alloy The machinability is good, the machinability is low after annealing: the corrosion resistance is not high, and the anodizing treatment and painting method or the surface is coated with an aluminum layer to improve the corrosion resistance. Uses are mainly used to make a variety of high-load parts and components (but not including stampings forgings) such as skeleton parts, skins, bulkheads, ribs, spars, rivets and other working parts below 150 °C.

Aluminum 2024 has a machining cost factor of 0.7 when compared to steel 12L14. It can be forged and hot worked, but is not ideal for welding or soldering. 2024 responds well to heat treatment, annealing, and tempering. It can be anodized, but results in a darker and less corrosion resistant finish than Aluminum 6061.
