Value Collection 2024 1X1.5X12F Aluminum Rectangular Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024 1X1.5X12F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 2024, a high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum known for its excellent fatigue resistance and machinability. This bar measures 1 inch thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 12 inches long, with tightly controlled tolerances of plus or minus 0.0025 inches on both thickness and width. It weighs 1.77 pounds. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals use this stock for structural components, tooling fixtures, brackets, and precision-machined parts where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This bar is suited for applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, and general industrial fabrication environments. Its 12-inch length makes it practical for bench-stock use in job shops and maintenance facilities. Alloy 2024 is commonly selected when higher strength is required compared to common alloys such as 6061, particularly in applications subject to dynamic loading or repeated stress cycles. This piece ships as a single unit and is appropriate for prototyping, repair work, or low-volume production runs.

Key Features

• Alloy 2024 aluminum provides high strength and excellent fatigue resistance
• Thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches for precision fitment
• Width tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches
• Rectangular bar profile ready for sawing, milling, drilling, or turning
• Compact 12-inch length suits bench-stock and short-run fabrication needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar stock for use in machining, fabrication, and structural applications requiring Alloy 2024 aluminum.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is typically worked by machinists and fabricators using standard metalworking equipment including band saws, milling machines, lathes, and drill presses. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or drilling operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines throughout the machining process.
