Value Collection 2024 .5X1.5X12F Aluminum Bar 2024

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024 .5X1.5X12F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 2024, measuring 0.5 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Alloy 2024 is a high-strength aluminum known for its excellent fatigue resistance and machinability, making it a standard material in structural, aerospace, and industrial fabrication work. The bar ships at 0.885 pounds and holds tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.002 inches on both thickness and width, supporting precision fit-up in fabrication and repair applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with aluminum stock rely on this bar for brackets, spacers, plates, and custom-cut components.

This rectangular bar is suited for general industrial fabrication, tool and die work, structural supports, and repair stock across light manufacturing and maintenance environments. The 12-inch length provides a practical starting point for single-piece cuts or short-run fabrication without excess material waste. The 2024 alloy grade performs well where strength-to-weight ratio matters and where the part will see cyclic or fatigue loading. This bar is sold individually, making it appropriate for low-quantity prototype work or single-part replacement jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular bar stock for general fabrication, repair, and machining applications where Alloy 2024 aluminum is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining aluminum bar stock should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece properly before any cutting operation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting the part into an assembly. Follow applicable shop safety standards and any project-specific engineering requirements when using this bar in structural or load-bearing applications.
