2024-T6 aluminum is 2024 aluminum in the T6 temper. This aluminum alloy is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and high-performance structural components due to its excellent strength and toughness.
2024 T6 aluminum is 2024 aluminum in the T6 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal undergoes solution heat treatment and artificial aging until it meets standard mechanical performance requirements.
2024-T6 is known for its high strength and excellent fatigue resistance.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Corrosion Resistance: Relatively poor compared to some other aluminum alloys. It usually requires additional protective coatings or treatments.
Al 2024 T6 is subjected to solution heat treatment and artificial aging to achieve this temper until it meets standard mechanical performance requirements.
Anodized Al 2024 T6
Bending Fatigue Life under High Stress: Anodized Al 2024 T6 aluminum alloy has a similar bending fatigue life under high stress as before anodization.
Bending Fatigue Life under Medium Stress: At medium stress, anodizing significantly reduces the material's bending fatigue life.
Effect of Oxide Layer Thickness:
As the thickness of the surface oxide layer increases, the bending fatigue resistance of Al 2024 T6 material gradually decreases.
Once the oxide layer thickness reaches a certain level, the bending fatigue resistance remains relatively constant with further increases in oxide layer thickness.
2024-T62 aluminum is 2024 aluminum in the T62 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal undergoes solution heat treatment and artificial aging until it meets standard mechanical performance requirements.
2024-T62 aluminum is particularly suitable for applications that require a balance between medium strength and good mechanical properties. Compared to 2024-T6, T62 temper aluminum has not undergone stress relief during processing, so it may have higher internal stresses. It is primarily used in medium-strength structural components, suitable for applications with certain strength and toughness requirements but not needing the highest strength.
2024-T651 aluminum is 2024 aluminum in the T651 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal undergoes solution heat treatment, stress relief, and then artificial aging. Stress relief is achieved by stretching the metal a certain amount, depending on the standard forging product type (thin sheet, plate, bar, or forging). Compared to other variants of 2024 aluminum, it has the second lowest ductility.
Compared to other 2024 aluminum alloy variants, 2024-T651 aluminum has slightly lower ductility but still possesses good strength and processing performance. This makes it suitable for applications requiring additional mechanical strength and stress resistance, such as aerospace components and high-strength structural parts.
