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.
