2024 Aluminum Extrusions FAQ
Here are most of the questions related to 7075 aluminum extrusions. We hope you will find the answer to your question. If not, please leave us a message.
2024 aluminum can be identified as an aluminum alloy that is heat-treatable, extremely strong, and contains copper as the main alloying element. A superior strength-to-weight ratio makes the aluminum alloy common in aerospace applications. This metal alloy is highly versatile, and therefore one of the most highly sought-after aluminum alloys today.
Here is a table showing the chemical composition of 2024 aluminum:
| ALUMINIUM ALLOY | Si | Fe | Cu | Mn | Mg | Cr | Zn | Ti | Zr | Others | Al |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 3.8-4.9 | 0.3-0.9 | 1.2-1.8 | 0.1 | 0.25 | 0.15 | —— | totally 0.15 | reminder |
✣All compositions are in percent.
Other properties supplement the high strength-to-weight ratio of this material. They include a good capability to be welded, machinability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.
While sometimes available in plate or sheet form, 2024 aluminum is typically in extruded form. 2024 aluminum extrusions are produced by subjecting the 2024 aluminum to extreme pressure through a steel die to acquire a specific cross-sectional shape or profile. Aluminum alloy 2024 extrusions are easier to work with.
Here are the main steps in 2024 aluminum extrusion process:
- Aluminum ingots and alloying elements are put to heat in a furnace for hours
- Molten aluminum is cast into logs and cooled to room temperature
- Logs are preheated and sheared
- The resulting billets are then extruded into the desired profiles
- The product is cut and stretched to remove bends/twists
- Final cutting to transportable/usable lengths
- Aging and testing
- Packaging and delivery to the customer
2024 aluminum extrusions can take different forms, from bars, tubes to custom shapes.
2024 aluminum is preferable in industrial applications that require high stiffness, corrosion resistance, shearing resistance, and cracking resistance. It doesn’t matter whether 2024 aluminum is in bar or plate form; the alloy performs excellently under demanding conditions.
Even though 2024 aluminum extrusion has a lower atmospheric corrosion resistance at sea conditions, anodizing enhances performance in those conditions.
With copper as its primary alloying element, the 2024 aluminum extrusion has superior fatigue resistance and unmatched strength. It is capable of performing in extreme conditions for a long time. Its 50,000 psi yield strength is one of the reasons why critical industries such as aerospace prefer this alloy for their applications.
2024 Aluminum Bars & 2024 Aluminum Rods
In bar form, 2024 aluminum extrusions can be in square, flat, round, or hexagonal shape. There are also variations in dimensions such as thickness and width, or diameter for rods.
Fonnov Aluminum manufactures different sizes of 2024 aluminum bars and rods to cater to a wide range of industry uses. The 2024 aluminum round bars or rods and flat bars typically come as 2024T3, 2024T3510, 2024T3511, 2024-T8, 2024-T8510, and 2024-T8511.

The temper or heat treatment process involves subjecting the aluminum to heating and cooling in a controlled environment. This process adjusts both the mechanical properties and internal structure of the aluminum alloy.
As the user, it is important to recognize the temper designations and the impacts that subsequent processes can have on the product.
Aluminum products have both alloy and temper designations. Alloy designations are given in the form of four-digit numbers as an identification of the chemical composition of the alloy. As an addition to the alloy designation, temper designations are in alphanumerical form.
By looking at the temper designation, one can determine the treatment process used to achieve the product.
The tempers for 2024 aluminum include T3, T3510, T3511, T8, T8510, T8511, and O, and some tempers’ characteristics are as indicated in the table below:
| 2024 Aluminum Temper | Description |
|---|---|
| O | No heat treatment |

| T8511 | Solution heat-treated Stress relieved Aged artificially |
If you are unsure which option between 2024 and 7075 aluminum is better, it is understandable. Both alloys are known for their high strength, so they could suit a project if that is the sole consideration.
But when it comes to specifics, things begin to change. For instance, if you are looking for an alloy with higher stress/stain resistance, then we would recommend the 7075 aluminum. However, use 2024 aluminum if the cyclic fatigue resistance requirements for your project are high.
The 2024 aluminum is mainly composed of aluminum, copper and magnesium. The 7075 aluminum is mainly composed of aluminum, zinc and copper.
They are all hard alloy, and widely used in aircraft parts. But the 2024 aluminum is not common for general industries.

With the main alloying component in 6061 aluminum being magnesium, this material doesn’t match the tensile and yield strength of 2024 aluminum. It is much easier to work with though, if the project requires a lot of machining and welding.
The name “structural aluminum” for 6061 emanates from the fact that the alloy is highly applicable in structures and products due to its versatility.
The periodic stresses in the aerospace and related industries can be too much for 6061 aluminum. 2024 aluminum works much better in such situations because of its superior strength.
For any aluminum grade you choose, you want to consider a few points. The most important is how you plan to use the aluminum extrusion. High Strength and Machinability are always going to be central points in the various applications of 2024 aluminum extrusions.
