Value Collection 2024.5X.625X36F Aluminum Bar Alloy 2024

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024.5X.625X36F is an aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 2024, measuring 36 inches long, 0.625 inches wide, and 0.500 inches thick. Alloy 2024 is a high-strength aluminum commonly specified in structural, aerospace-adjacent, and industrial fabrication applications where a favorable strength-to-weight ratio is required. The bar ships at 1.14 pounds and is held to tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.002 inches on both width and thickness, making it suitable for precision machining, fixturing, and general metalworking tasks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in manufacturing and industrial environments are the typical end users.

This bar is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and MRO applications where a cut-to-length aluminum flat stock in Alloy 2024 is needed. The 36-inch length provides a full 3-foot stock piece that can be cut, drilled, milled, or ground to final dimensions. Its combination of moderate corrosion resistance and high tensile strength relative to other aluminum alloys makes it a common choice for structural brackets, tooling plates, spacers, and precision components in industrial settings.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Alloy 2024 aluminum rectangular flat bar for general industrial fabrication, machining, and MRO replacement applications where this alloy grade and cross-section are specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum flat bar should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and to meet finished-part dimensional requirements. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when operating cutting or milling equipment.
