Value Collection 2024-0.75x72R Aluminum Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024-0.75x72R is a solid aluminum round rod machined from Alloy 2024, one of the most widely used high-strength aluminum alloys in industrial and fabrication applications. The rod measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length, weighing 3.21 pounds. Alloy 2024 offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability, making it a reliable choice for structural components, fixtures, shafts, and custom fabricated parts. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly stock this rod as raw stock for lathe, mill, and general-purpose shop work.

This rod is suited for both light industrial and commercial fabrication environments. At 72 inches, it provides enough length to yield multiple shorter cut pieces for production runs or one-off part fabrication. Alloy 2024 performs well in applications that require moderate corrosion resistance combined with high mechanical strength. It is commonly used in aerospace-adjacent fabrication, tooling fixtures, structural supports, and mechanical components where aluminum is specified over heavier metals.

Key Features

• Alloy 2024 aluminum construction for high strength-to-weight performance
• 0.75 inch diameter round cross-section, consistent along full length
• 72 inch overall length provides versatile cut-to-size flexibility
• Good machinability suitable for lathe, mill, and drill operations
• Weighs 3.21 pounds, easy to handle and transport as a single piece

Compatibility

Designed as a standard raw-stock aluminum round rod for general fabrication and machining use wherever 0.75 inch diameter Alloy 2024 aluminum rod stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Eye protection, gloves, and proper chip guards are required during machining operations. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing finished parts. Follow applicable shop safety codes and material handling guidelines for aluminum stock.
