2024-T62 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum-copper alloy in an overaged temper condition, providing tensile strengths of 455–505 MPa with enhanced stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance and improved fracture toughness compared to the T4 temper. This condition is widely specified in aerospace applications requiring sustained high-temperature service and damage-tolerant design, particularly in fuselage structures and wing skins operating in the 65–120 °C range.
