Aluminum Rod 2024 for Aircraft Structural Parts 1/4"-4" Dia 0.001" Tolerance
Product Spotlights
Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. proudly presents our 2024 Aluminum Rod — a premium solution engineered for aircraft structural parts. With diameters ranging from 1/4" to 4" and an exceptional tolerance of ±0.001", this product meets the rigorous demands of aerospace manufacturing. As a company with an annual export value of US$50-100 million and ISO 9001 certification, we ensure every rod delivers consistent quality, reliability, and precision.
Our 2024 aluminum alloy is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance, making it ideal for critical components like fuselage frames, wing ribs, and landing gear parts. The tight tolerance of 0.001" minimizes machining time and waste, offering you cost-effective production without compromising performance.
Key Product Features
Superior Strength: 2024 aluminum alloy provides high tensile strength (up to 470 MPa in T3 temper) suitable for structural loads.
Precision Tolerance: ±0.001" ensures consistent diameter along the entire length, reducing secondary operations.
Wide Diameter Range: Available from 1/4" to 4" to accommodate various design requirements.
Excellent Machinability: Easily drilled, turned, and milled for complex part geometries.
Corrosion Resistance: Standard 2024 offers good corrosion resistance; optional clad or coated versions available.
Heat Treatable: Can be aged to achieve desired mechanical properties (T3, T351, T4 temper).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary application of 2024 aluminum rod?
A: It is widely used in aircraft structural parts such as fuselage frames, wing spars, and landing gear components due to its high strength and fatigue resistance. It is also used in other high-stress applications like automotive racing parts.
Q2: Can you provide rods with a tolerance tighter than ±0.001"?
A: Yes, we can offer tighter tolerances, such as ±0.0005", upon request for specific precision requirements. Please contact our sales team for details.
Q3: What temper options are available for this rod?
A: Common tempers include T3 (solution heat treated and cold worked), T351 (solution heat treated, stress relieved by stretching), and T4 (solution heat treated). We also offer T6 temper on request.
Q4: How long does delivery take for international orders?
A: Typical lead time is 2-4 weeks depending on quantity and specifications. For urgent orders, we can expedite shipping. We ship via sea, air, or express courier based on your preference.
Q5: Do you provide material certifications?
A: Yes, we provide a mill test certificate (MTC) with each shipment, including chemical composition and mechanical properties. Our ISO 9001 certification ensures traceability.
Q6: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer sample rods (typically 1 ft length) at a nominal cost, which can be deducted from your first bulk order. Contact us to arrange.
Q7: What surface finishes are available?
A: Standard finish is as extruded (mill finish). We can also provide machined, polished, or anodized finishes as optional services.
Q8: Is this rod suitable for welding?
A: 2024 aluminum is not recommended for fusion welding due to its high copper content; however, it can be joined using mechanical fasteners or adhesive bonding. For welded assemblies, consider 6061 or 7075 alloys.
