Typical uses for 2024t3 alclad aluminum sheet are aircraft skins cowls aircraft structures and also for rv. 5052 h32 5052 h34 6061 t4 2024 0. Aluminum where necessary 5052 h32 may be bent to 1t and 6061 t6 to 1 1 2t. Qq a 250 5 2024t3 alclad aluminum sheet 2024 t3 this is the most common of the the high strength alloys.

2024t3 has excellent fatigue resistance. Here we can see the density of the alloy. 3003 0 1100 0 6061 s0 5052 s0. Steel american iron and steel institute 1 see aisi s fabrication guidlines for cold bending thk 6061 t6.

Any time a different thickness of sheet metal needs to be formed or when a different radius is required to form the part the operator needs to adjust the sheet metal brake before the brake is used to form the part. The bend is along the long dimension. 18 8 type 302 020 063 063 063 063 063. Physical properties of 2024 aluminum.

Pieces 22 long by 1 75 wide by 0 63 thick. Since commercial sheet metal bending can be done with less concern for stresses caused during forming operation the radius can be near zero for thin sheet metal. Bending 2024 t3 grain direction considered. Inside bend radius 0 19.
