2024 aluminum is a high-strength Al-Cu-Mg alloy widely used in aircraft structures and aerospace applications, offering excellent fatigue resistance and damage tolerance despite moderate corrosion susceptibility. Available tempers range from T3 (solution-treated and cold-worked) through T851 (solution-treated, stress-relieved, and artificially aged), providing tensile strengths from ~290 MPa to ~505 MPa depending on condition, with Young's modulus approximately 73 GPa across all tempers.
