2024 Aluminum Tube Alloy Introduction

2024 is a typical hard aluminum alloy copper magnesium system with reasonable composition and good comprehensive performance. Many countries produce this alloy, which is most commonly used in hard aluminum. The properties of this alloy are high strength, certain heat resistance and can be used as working parts below 150°C. At temperatures above 125°C in 2024, the thickness of the alloy is greater than the thickness of the alloy 7075. The formability is relatively good in hot state, annealed state and recently extinguished state, and the reinforcing effect of heat treatment is significant, but the heat treatment process requires strict requirements. Poor corrosion resistance, but effective protection can be achieved by coating with pure aluminum; During welding, cracks can occur, but special processes can be used for welding or riveting. Widely used in aircraft structures, rivets, truck center parts, propeller components and various other structure parts.

The Most Common Welding Methods For Aluminum Tubes

The most common welding methods for aluminum tubes are gas shielded metal welding and oxyacetylene gas welding. These methods are widely used due to their effectiveness and practicality.

Molten polar gas shielded welding is a commonly used welding method that uses argon or argon/helium mixture as a shielding gas to effectively prevent oxidation during the welding process. Before welding, the oxide film and oil contamination on the surface of the welded parts and welding wire should be strictly removed to ensure the welding quality. This method is suitable for welding various aluminum alloy materials and has high stability and efficiency.

Oxyacetylene welding is a traditional welding method that uses an oxyacetylene flame to heat aluminum tubes and add welding rods at appropriate times. This method requires experienced operators because aluminum has a low melting point and there is no significant color change before melting. It depends on experience and skills to determine the welding time. Oxyacetylene welding is suitable for welding certain special materials or special parts.

Mechanical Properties

The alloy’s mechanical properties describe its response to mechanical forces or loads. These include:

• Tensile Strength: 2024 aluminum has a tensile strength of 290 – 450 MPa (42,100 – 65,300 psi). This shows that it withstands a huge force during pulling or stretching before breaking. Furthermore, it makes it applicable in making parts with load-bearing/structural attributes.

• Yield Strength: Its yield strength is 195-415 MPa (28,300-60,000 psi). This means that it requires much stress to undergo irreversible plastic deformation. As a result, it is applicable in making parts with structural applications.

• Hardness: Its hardness depends on the heat temper, ranging from 50HB to 120HB. Furthermore, it measures its resistance to deformation, abrasion, and scratching and can guide manufacturers in the applications of 2024 aluminum alloy.

• Fatigue Strength: 2024 aluminum alloy has good fatigue strength (138 MPa or 20,000 psi), calculated with 500,000,000 loading cycles under the yield point. As a result, one of the applications of 2024 aluminum alloy is making parts that can withstand cyclic loading or repeated stress.

• Shear Strength: Shear strength is a measure of the aluminum 2024 alloy to shearing stresses or cutting stresses. It has a value of 283 MPa (41,000 psi), which is moderately strong.

The Wall Thickness of Aluminum Tube

The wall thickness of aluminum tubes may vary depending on the outer diameter. For example, an aluminum tube with an outer diameter of 6mm has a wall thickness of about 1mm; The wall thickness of an aluminium tube with an outer diameter of 30mm can be between 2mm and 3mm. In addition, aluminum pipes have a wide range of wall thicknesses, typically from 1mm to 10mm, and can also have larger or smaller wall thickness specifications. ‌

For thin-walled aluminium pipes, which are characterized by relatively thin wall thicknesses, they are typically used in specific application scenarios such as sprinkler systems. The wall of thin-walled aluminum tubes can be bent inwards into small circles or galvanized into a double-layer structure to meet their specific usage requirements. The choice of wall thickness of aluminum pipe should be determined based on specific application requirements and environmental conditions to ensure material performance and safety during use.
