Aluminium 2024 Wires

Aluminium 2024 wires are an alloy of copper, magnesium, manganese and silicon. This combination results in a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance. It is the principal alloy used for aircraft structures as it has a good balance of structural strength and formability. Adding copper to this alloy also improves its corrosion resistance properties. It is ideal for aerospace components that require operating in harsh environmental conditions such as acids, saltwater or other aggressive chemicals or gases.

Aluminium 2024 wires are a popular form of alloy wire due to their many advantageous properties. It is highly corrosion-resistant, has excellent weldability and machinability, and has good fatigue strength. Its high strength-to-weight ratio also makes it ideal for applications across various sectors, such as aerospace engineering, automotive manufacturing, and electrical wiring systems. Aluminium 2024 wires have superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking compared to other aluminium alloys, making them an ideal choice for several structural components in aircraft.
