VT machining offers CNC Routing for 2024 Aluminum (UNS A92024 / EN AW-2024), typically supplied T3 / T351. High fatigue strength; classic aerospace structural alloy, not weldable by fusion.
CNC Routing Notes for 2024 Aluminum
2024 Aluminum routes well at high feed, which makes routing an economical way to profile sheet and plate.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 2024 Aluminum weighs about 0.28 kg.
