Characteristics of the alloy: high strength, great resistance of heat which can be used below150°C. The alloy 2024 has a higher strength than 7075 alloys if the temperature is over 125°C. With heat treatment, annealing, and quenching conditions, it has better formability. The effect of heat strengthening is obvious, but the processing is really strict with high standards.

In addition, the heat treatment strengthening effect of the 2024 aluminum sheet is the most significant. whether it is in a hot state, annealed, or newly hardened, Its formability and machinability are very good.

Thought of as the "aircraft alloy" because of its strength to weight ratio. It also has excellent fatigue resistance. While 2024 has good machinability it only possesses fair corrosion resistance. In the annealed state, aluminum 2024 has good workability but is only fair to poor in tempers. Typical end uses are aircraft skins and cowls and truck and aircraft structures.
