Can 2024 Aluminum Be Welded In India

Can 2024 Aluminum Be Welded In India. When heated to a molten state an element in the 2024 (specifically the nickle) groups together thus changing the alloy and weakening the metal as it solidifies. Some metals, like aluminum, have a naturally occurring, tough surface oxide layer.

Compared to steel, aluminum has four times the thermal conductivity and twice the thermal expansion. Although 2024 aluminum can be machined, it is not as easy to work with as 6061.
