    High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Bars.
    Balance high strength and workability. Initially designed for aircraft frames, 2024 aluminum is turned into parts that need to be especially strong, such as couplings for servomotor shafts. It’s one of the most widely used high-strength alloys, made into fasteners, gears, and everything in between. It’s also easier to form and weld than 7075 aluminum, among the strongest aluminum alloys out there.
