Aluminium 2024 is an age-hardening alloy and responds to heat treatment to accomplish the strengthening (aging). See "Annealing" and " Aging". The T4 condition is attained by a 920 F heating followed by cold water quench and aging at room temperature. T6 by the same 920 F and quench followed by 375 F for 10 hours and air cooling

Aluminium 2024 Applications | Commonly used in the manufacture of truck wheels, aircraft structures, and screw machine products, scientific instruments, veterinary and orthopedic braces and equipment, and in rivets. |
Aluminium 2024 Machinability | The machining characteristics of AL 2024 are fair in the heat treated condition, which is the condition in which most machining is done. Machinability in the annealed condition is good. Use of oil lubricants is recommended for all machining operations. |
Aluminium 2024 Forming | The alloy may be formed by conventional methods, except that hot forming should be avoided - see "Hot Working". |
Aluminium 2024 Welding | Welding may be done by use of resistance welding or inert gas consumable electrode arc method. However it must be noted that, in general, welding by any means is NOT recommended for this alloy because of the degradation of corrosion resistance that occurs as a result of weld heat. A repeat heat treatment should be done if welded. |
Aluminium 2024 Heat Treatment | This is an age-hardening alloy and responds to heat treatment to accomplish the strengthening (aging). See "Annealing" and " Aging". The T4 condition is attained by a 920 F heating followed by cold water quench and aging at room temperature. T6 by the same 920 F and quench followed by 375 F for 10 hours and air cooling |
Aluminium 2024 Forging | The alloy may be forged. However subsequent heat treatment is necessary in order to retain reasonable corrosion resistance. |
Aluminium 2024 Hot Working | Hot forming should be avoided if possible because of the harmful effect of heating upon corrosion resistance. If, for example, T4 condition is hot worked it is the necessary to age the part to the T6 condition to restore corrosion resistance. |
Aluminium 2024 Cold Working | Cold working of this alloy is readily done by conventional methods. Ductility In the annealed condition is best and bend radii of 1/2 to 1 times thickness are possible for sheet 1/4 " thick, or thinner. For T3 or T4 conditions bend radii of 5 to 6 times thickness are required. |
Aluminium 2024 Annealing | Annealing may be done at 650 F followed by air cooling. |
Aluminium 2024 Aging | Not applicable to this alloy. |
Aluminium 2024 Tempering | Not applicable. |
Aluminium 2024 Hardening | The alloy hardens only from cold working. Tempers H12, H14, H16, H18 are determined by the amount of cold working imparted into the alloy. |
Aluminium 2024 Other Physical Props | Electrical conductivity 55% of copper. |
Aluminium 2024 Other Mechanical | Shear strength of annealed (O temper) is 7 ksi. For H14 temper it is 9 ksi and for H18 temper 11 ksi. |
