About

CNC machined Aluminum 2024 is a high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum alloy that combines excellent mechanical performance with good machinability. The material holds tight tolerances reliably and maintains sharp edges, clean holes, and accurate geometric features.

Aluminum 2024 is valued for its high tensile strength, strong fatigue resistance, and low weight, making it ideal for load-bearing and performance-driven applications. Compared to general-purpose aluminum alloys, it delivers significantly better structural capability, though it is less corrosion-resistant than grades like 5083 or 6061 unless protected by anodizing, coating, or painting.

Typical applications include aerospace components, structural brackets, mechanical housings, high-performance mounts, and stressed machine parts. CNC machining of 2024 enables complex geometries and precise fits while preserving the alloy’s outstanding strength-to-weight advantage for demanding engineering use.
