Alloy 2024 aluminum plates are perhaps the best known and most widely used aircraft alloy. Since it exhibits high yield strength and relatively good fatigue resistance, it is readily used on structures and parts where good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. Because of its good machinability and superior grain structure, Alloy 2024 plate is essential for precision fittings and parts. Though this alloy does not have good corrosion resistance, welding by resistance method is feasible.
Aluminum 2024 possesses a high strength to weight ratio which is invaluable in its resistance to fatigue. It is commonly used in the construction of the wings and fuselage of an aircraft. There are several temper designations for this aluminum grade, the most common being 2024-T3, 2024-T4/T351, 2024-T851.

Al 2024 t3 sheet has same characteristics as tubing, however, the sheet is alclad for corrosion resistance. Alclad is a metallurgically bonded aluminum or aluminum alloy coating that is anodic to the core, thus electrolytically protecting the core against corrosion. Tensile strength 70,000 psi, yield strength 50,000 psi. Sheets .032 and under may be rolled for UPS oversize rate shipping. 2×4 is largest size shippable UPS flat, oversize rate applies.
