2024 aluminum alloy provides high strength and good fatigue resistance due to its aluminum and copper composition. 2024 aluminum plate is ideal for use in applications where good strength-to-weight ratio is important. TCI Precision Metals is a value-added distributor of 2024 Aluminum plate. We source mill-direct and process the material to your specific requirements, delivering Machine-Ready Blanks that are ready to go from receiving directly into your CNC machining centers.
Alloy 2024 aluminum plate is excellent for precision parts because of its machinability and grain structure. It has good weld properties, but less corrosion resistance than other alloys.
2024 aluminum plate has been solution heat treated, cold worked and naturally aged minimally stretched to reduce stresses in the material.
