Our 2024 aluminum plate has T351 temper, indicating it has been solution heat treated, cold worked, and naturally aged, followed by a minimal stretching to reduce stresses in the material.
2024 t351 aluminum plate has good fatigue resistance and is specified for many structural applications for aerospace, including structural components, wing tension structure, and shear ribs and webs. Midwest Steel & Aluminum stocks a full size range of 2024 t351 in sizes 1/4 inch aluminum plate through 1/6 thick.
Our 7075 aluminum plate has T651 temper, indicating it has been solution heat treated followed by a minimal stretching to reduce stresses in the material. The material was then artificially aged to allow the alloying elements to precipitate out of the material, to give immediate maximum strength.
Our 6061 aluminum plate has T651 temper, indicating it has been solution heat treated followed by a minimal stretching to reduce stresses in the material. The material was then artificially aged to allow the alloying elements to precipitate out of the material, to give immediate maximum strength.
