Laser cut 2024 T3 Aluminum is one of the strongest materials we offer here at SendCutSend. With unmatched tensile strength, 2024 T3 Aluminum is the best alloy for projects that require the highest structural integrity and robustness.
Outranking other aluminum series in yield strength, elasticity, fatigue strength, and hardness, 2024 T3 aluminum can withstand stress and high-impact environments better than most materials. What it lacks in corrosion resistance it makes up for in durability and resilience.
Unlike our other aluminum alloys, 2024 aluminum is alloyed with copper, which is what sets it apart in tensile strength. This unique combination of materials and its resulting capabilities lends laser cut 2024 aluminum to structural, construction, aerospace, and automotive applications.
We recommend our 2024 aluminum for products where strength is of the highest concern. Keep reading for more information regarding the design considerations for laser cut 2024 T3 aluminum.
