Home > Aluminium > Aluminium Grade > 2024 Aluminium
2024 Aluminium is a high-strength alloy primarily composed of aluminum, copper, magnesium, and manganese. It is widely known for its excellent fatigue resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for aerospace structures, especially wings and fuselages that are under tension. It also exhibits good machinability, although it has limited corrosion resistance, so it is often used with a protective coating. This alloy is highly regarded in various industries for applications that demand strong structural integrity under stress.
Solitaire Steel & Engineering LLP, based in Khetwadi, Mumbai, India, is a trusted supplier and exporter of 2024 Aluminium products including sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, bars, angles, channels, and fittings. We ensure that our aluminium products meet the highest global standards, offering exceptional strength, performance, and durability to meet the demands of various industries worldwide.
