Value Collection 2024.75X1.5X36F Aluminum Rectangular Bar

Product Description

The Value Collection 2024.75X1.5X36F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 2024, a high-strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural and mechanical applications. The bar measures 36 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick, with tight tolerances of plus or minus 0.0025 inches on both width and thickness. At 3.98 pounds, it is well-suited for precision fabrication work where consistent cross-section dimensions are critical. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in aerospace-adjacent, industrial, or general manufacturing environments are the primary installers and users of this stock material.

This rectangular bar is used in applications that require a lightweight yet strong structural material. Alloy 2024 is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability, making it a common choice for frames, brackets, fixtures, tooling plates, and machine components. The 3-foot length provides a practical stock size for single-piece parts or short-run production cuts. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field repair applications where aluminum stock is specified.

Key Features

• Alloy 2024 aluminum construction for high strength and good machinability
• Tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.0025 inches on width and thickness
• 36-inch length provides a full 3-foot stock bar in a single piece
• Rectangular cross-section simplifies fixturing and secondary machining operations
• Weighs 3.98 pounds — lightweight relative to equivalent steel bar stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar stock suitable for structural fabrication, machine component production, and repair applications where Alloy 2024 aluminum is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining should be performed with tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement and maintain dimensional accuracy. When welding or joining Alloy 2024, consult the applicable fabrication standard, as this alloy has specific heat-treatment and joining considerations. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when machining aluminum stock.
