Aluminum 2024 is a high-strength, heat-treatable alloy that is commonly used in the aerospace industry. It is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high fatigue resistance, and good machinability. It is often used in the manufacture of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages, as well as in the production of truck wheels and other transportation components. 2024 aluminum is also sometimes used in the construction of boats and marine structures due to its resistance to corrosion. Despite its many benefits, it is not suitable for welding, as it has a tendency to crack.
