Alloy 2024 T351 Temper Aluminum Plate for Aerospace

The 2024 T351 T6 aluminum plate is commonly used in the aerospace industry. 2024 is an aluminum alloy with copper as the primary alloying element, due to its high strength, excellent fatigue performance, low density, good machinability, and appropriate heat treatment capabilities. These advantages make it widely used in high-performance and high-reliability aircraft structures and components.

Here are some specific applications:

1. Aircraft Wings and Fuselage Structures

2024 aluminum alloy is commonly used in the manufacture of primary load-bearing structures of aircraft, including wing spars and skins, as well as fuselage frames and skins. These components require high strength and good fatigue performance to withstand the various stresses and vibrations encountered during flight.

2. Trusses and Beams

Due to its high strength and good crack resistance, 2024 aluminum alloy is well-suited for making internal structural components of aircraft and spacecraft, such as trusses and beams. These parts need to provide sufficient strength to support other structures while maintaining light weight.

3. Fasteners and Connectors

2024 aluminum alloy is used to produce high-strength fasteners and connectors, such as bolts, nuts, and rivets. The high strength and good fatigue performance of these fasteners ensure reliable connection and fixation of various structural components.

4. Landing Gear and Support Structures

Aircraft landing gear must withstand significant impacts and loads, making the use of high-strength materials essential. The strength and fatigue resistance of 2024 aluminum alloy make it an ideal material for manufacturing landing gear and related support structures.

5. Engine Mounts and Attachments

Engine mounts and attachments in aircraft need materials with high strength, high-temperature resistance, and good machinability. 2024 aluminum alloy meets these requirements, making it commonly used in manufacturing these critical components.

6. Missile and Spacecraft Structures

In the design of spacecraft and missiles, reducing weight while increasing strength is crucial. The excellent mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy make it widely used in manufacturing the main structures, fuel tanks, and other high-stress components of missiles and spacecraft.

7. Internal Fittings and Seat Frames

Many internal fittings and seat frames in aircraft are also commonly made from 2024 aluminum alloy. These components need to be lightweight while having sufficient strength and durability to ensure passenger safety and comfort.

8. Mounts for Electronic Equipment and Instruments

Modern aircraft and spacecraft are equipped with numerous electronic devices and instruments, which require strong yet lightweight mounts for fixation. 2024 aluminum alloy, with its good machinability and strength, is widely used to manufacture these mounts and housings.
