Is 2024 an Aluminium alloy?
Alloy 2024 is one of the more prominent aluminium alloys. Due to the alloys good fatigue resistance, especially in thick plate form, the material is specified for use in the aerospace and military sector in fuselage applications in such areas as structures and wing tension members.

What is 2024 Aluminium alloy used for?
2024 aluminum is an alloy that is often used in the aerospace industry. It is a high-strength alloy suitable for projects requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance. As such, it is primarily found in wing and fuselage structures that frequently come under tension.

Comparing 2024 Aluminum to Other Alloys

The 2024 alloy is often chosen for applications that require high strength, but you may be considering other options for your particular application. Below are some other common alloys that are often considered as alternatives.

2024 vs 6061

6061 aluminum, also known as “structural aluminum” is an alloy in the 6000 series with magnesium as its primary alloying element. It offers medium to high strength but does not offer the same tensile or yield strength that 2024 does. While it is not as strong, it is more versatile. It is more corrosion resistant, easier to weld, and more suited to machining.

It has a wide range of applications, including building products, piping, and recreational products. Like 2024, it is also used in wing and fuselage structures, but this is more common in homebuilt aircraft, as opposed to commercial or military aircraft.

2024 vs 7075

                                                The 7075 alloy, like 2024, is very common in the aerospace industry. The main reason for this is that it is one of the strongest aluminum alloys available. With precipitation hardening, it can achieve a tensile strength of 83,000 psi and a yield strength of 73,000 psi, stronger than 2024. In terms of applications, 7075 is suited to applications that require high stress/strain resistance. Whereas, 2024 is suited to applications where high cyclic fatigue resistance is required.

ALUMINUM ALLOY 2024 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

What is Alloy 2024?

2024 aluminum is heat-treatable aluminum alloy with copper as the primary alloying element. It is malleable when in the fully soft, annealed temper and can be heat-treated to high strength levels after forming. Due to its high strength to weight ratio, it is widely used in aerospace applications.

TYPICAL MECHANICAL DATA for 2024 ALUMINUM:

The following typical 2024 aluminum alloy properties are not guaranteed since in most cases they are average for various sizes and methods of manufacture and may not be exactly representative of any particular product or size. The data is intended for comparing alloys and tempers and should not be used for design purposes.

Summary
The 2024 aluminum alloy is often used in aircraft structural applications due to its high strength and fatigue resistance. It is stronger than 6061 but less versatile. While 7075 is suited to applications that require high stress and strain resistance, 2024 has high cyclic fatigue resistance.

     4. Packaging 

    In the steel export activities, we also need to pack the steel to prevent the steel from being scattered in the transportation process. In the hoisting process, it is necessary to lift the steel. So steel is very necessary in the export process. Below is the picture of packaging：

According to the requirements of the state of steel materials, the use of binding, bare, frame, pallet.

Packing standard: according to the following national standard requirements (the parts beyond the requirements will be specified separately)

GB／T191 packaging-pictorial marking for handling of goods
