2024 aluminum sheet plate
2024 aluminum sheet is a typical hard aluminum alloy (Al-Cu-Mg). It has more reasonable composition and better overall performance. It has a largest amount of market. 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 alloy if the temperature is over 125°C. With the heat treatment, annealing and quenching conditions, it has a better formability. The effect of heat strengthening is obviously, but the processing is really strict with high standard.
