Aluminum 2024-T351 Square Bar, ASTM-B211, 1" Thick, 1" Width, 36" Length

Aluminum Square Bar Type 2024-T4 2024-T351 ASTM-B211 Hardware, fittings and structural components made of these aircraft alloys are used extensively in the aircraft and transportation industries. Used where good strength the weight ratio is required, this high-strength Aluminum has excellent fatigue resistance and can be machined a fine finish. It may be formed in the annealed condition and can be heat treated. It is rated only fair for welding, although spot welding and seam welding are commonly practiced. Aluminum is one of the earths most abundant metallic elements. With the exception of oxygen and silicon, it is perhaps the most widely distributed of all the elements. Obtained principally from bauxite, alumina (aluminum oxide) is a white metal with a slightly bluish coloration. Pure (99.9 percent) aluminum melts at 1220F (660C). Its density is .097 lbs per in3and has approximately two-thirds the thermal and electrical conductivity of copper, and it is non magnetic. Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is resistant tarnishing and corrosion, and has an attractive silvery appearance. Aluminum is an extremely versatile material, it may be cast or wrought, it is available in a variety of alloys and tempers, and it accepts many different kinds of surface finishes, including anodic treatments. Machinability is considered easy and it can be soldered and welded.
