Value Collection 2024 .75X2X12F Aluminum Rectangular Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024 .75X2X12F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from 2024-series aluminum alloy. It measures 0.75 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 12 inches long, with tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.0025 inches on both thickness and width. Alloy 2024 is a high-strength aluminum known for its favorable strength-to-weight ratio and machinability, making it a standard choice in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications across industrial and mechanical trades. The bar ships as a single piece and weighs 1.77 pounds.

This rectangular bar is suited for use in general fabrication, structural repair, bracket manufacturing, and custom part machining where precise dimensions and consistent alloy composition are required. Its compact 12-inch length makes it practical for bench work, prototyping, and small-run component production. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, commercial, or heavy-equipment service environments commonly use 2024 aluminum bar stock for structural and non-structural applications where weight savings and strength both matter.

Key Features

• 2024 aluminum alloy offers high strength and good machinability for demanding fabrication tasks
• Tight width tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches supports close-tolerance machining and fitting
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches for dimensional consistency
• Rectangular profile simplifies clamping, fixturing, and secondary machining operations
• Single-piece packaging — no bulk commitment required with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum bar stock suitable for fabrication, repair, and machining applications requiring 2024-series aluminum in a rectangular bar form.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and milling should be performed with tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the bar properly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement and maintain dimensional accuracy. When welding or heat-treating 2024 aluminum, consult alloy-specific guidelines, as 2024 has limited weldability compared to other aluminum series. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and interference fit issues.
