Value Collection 2024 .75X2X72F Aluminum Bar 72x2x0.75in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024 .75X2X72F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 2024, measuring 72 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick. Alloy 2024 is a high-strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural and aerospace-adjacent fabrication work where a favorable strength-to-weight ratio is required. This bar holds tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.0025 inches on both width and thickness, making it suitable for precision machining, fixturing, and structural fabrication applications. It weighs 10.62 pounds and ships as a single piece. Machinists, fabricators, and toolmakers typically work with this stock.

This rectangular bar is suited for use in general industrial fabrication, structural support components, fixture building, and precision machined part production. Alloy 2024 machines well and is commonly selected when higher strength than standard 6061 aluminum is needed. It is appropriate for shop environments handling structural aluminum stock, including job shops, aerospace subcontractors, and industrial maintenance facilities. The 6-foot length accommodates a wide range of part sizes and can be cut to length as needed on a cold saw or band saw.

Key Features

• Alloy 2024 aluminum for higher strength compared to common 6061 stock
• Width tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches for precision fitment
• Thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.0025 inches
• Full 72-inch (6-foot) length provides flexibility for multiple cuts
• 10.62-pound bar weight consistent with solid cross-section stock

Compatibility

Designed as standard rectangular aluminum bar stock compatible with general machining, fabrication, and structural applications requiring Alloy 2024 material in a 0.75-inch by 2-inch cross-section profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Always secure the workpiece firmly before cutting or milling operations. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when machining aluminum. Verify dimensional requirements against final part drawings before cutting, as cut stock is typically not returnable.
