A
To determine conformance to this specification, each value for tensile strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ksi [1 MPa] and each value for
elongation to the nearest 0.5 %, both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29. The basis for establishment of tensile property limits is shown in Annex
A1.
B
The measurement of yield strength and elongation is not required for wire less than 0.125 in. [3.20 mm] in thickness or diameter.
C
Elongations in 50 mm applies to rectangular bar up through 12.5 mm thickness from which a standard rectangular tension test specimen is machined. The 5× diameter
s5.65 Ad requirements, where D and A are diameter and cross-sectional area of the specimen, respectively, apply to round specimens tested in fullsection or to standard
œ
or proportional, round-machined, tension test specimens.
D
There are no tensile requirements for material in the F temper but it usually can be expected that material 1 ⁄2 in. [40 mm] or less in thickness or diameter (except sections
over 4 in. [100 mm] in width) will have a strength about equivalent to the H14 or H34 temper. As size increases the strength decreases to nearly that of the O temper.
E
For stress-relieved tempers, characteristics and properties other than those specified may differ somewhat from the corresponding characteristics and properties of
material in the basic tempers.
F
Also available in the F temper for which no properties are specified or test results provided. Producers shall perform tension tests to confirm response to heat treatment
as required by Section 10.
G
Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the materials producers. These properties can usually be obtained by the user when material is properly solution
heat treated or solution and precipitation heat treated from the O or F temper. These properties also apply to samples of material in the O or F temper that are solution
heat treated or solution and precipitation heat treated by the producer to determine that the material will respond to proper heat treatment. Properties attained by the user,
however, may be lower than those listed if the material has been formed or otherwise cold or hot worked, particularly in the O temper, prior to solution heat treatment.
H
Properties listed for this full size increment are applicable to rod. Properties listed are also applicable to square, rectangular, hexagonal, or octagonal bar having a
2 2
maximum thickness of 4 in. [100 mm] and a maximum cross-sectional area of 36 in. [23 000 mm ].
I 2 2
For bar, maximum cross-sectional area is 50 in. [32 000 mm ].
J
Minimum yield strength for 2024-T4 wire and rod 0.125 in. [3.20 mm] and larger in thickness or diameter, produced in coil form for both straight length and coiled products,
is 40.0 ksi [275 MPa].
K
Properties listed for this size increment are applicable to rod only.
L
For rounds, maximum diameter is 4 in. [100 mm]; for square, hexagonal, or octagonal bar, maximum thickness is 3 ⁄2 in. [90 mm]; for rectangular bar, maximum thickness
is 3 in. [80 mm] with corresponding maximum width of 6 in. [150 mm]; for rectangular bar less than 3 in. [80 mm] in thickness, maximum width is 10 in. [250 mm].
M
Bend diameter factor values stated for this full size increment apply to T4 product only. Values listed also apply to T451 product in the 0.500–8.000 in. [12.20–200 mm]
size range.

In case of any discrepancy in the values listed in this table when compared with those listed in the “Teal Sheets” (International Alloy Designations and Chemical
Composition Limits for Wrought Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys), the composition limits registered with The Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal
Sheets” shall be considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.
B
Limits are in mass percent maximum unless otherwise shown.
C
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
D
For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last
right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
E
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered
non-conforming.
F
Other Elements—Total: Total shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more each, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
G
The aluminum content is the difference between 100.00 % and the sum of all other metallic elements and silicon present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, rounded
to the second decimal before determining the sum.

A
To determine conformance to this specification, each value for tensile strength and for yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ksi [1 MPa] and each value for
elongation to the nearest 0.5 %, both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29. The basis for establishment of tensile property limits is shown in Annex
A1.
B
The measurement of yield strength and elongation is not required for wire less than 0.125 in. [3.20 mm] in thickness or diameter.
C
Elongations in 50 mm applies to rectangular bar up through 12.5 mm thickness from which a standard rectangular tension test specimen is machined. The 5× diameter
s5.65 Ad requirements, where D and A are diameter and cross-sectional area of the specimen, respectively, apply to round specimens tested in fullsection or to standard
œ
or proportional, round-machined, tension test specimens.
D 1
There are no tensile requirements for material in the F temper but it usually can be expected that material 1 ⁄2 in. [40 mm] or less in thickness or diameter (except sections
over 4 in. [100 mm] in width) will have a strength about equivalent to the H14 or H34 temper. As size increases the strength decreases to nearly that of the O temper.
E
For stress-relieved tempers, characteristics and properties other than those specified may differ somewhat from the corresponding characteristics and properties of
material in the basic tempers.
F
Also available in the F temper for which no properties are specified or test results provided. Producers shall perform tension tests to confirm response to heat treatment
as required by Section 10.
G
Material in the T42 or T62 tempers is not available from the materials producers. These properties can usually be obtained by the user when material is properly solution
heat treated or solution and precipitation heat treated from the O or F temper. These properties also apply to samples of material in the O or F temper that are solution
heat treated or solution and precipitation heat treated by the producer to determine that the material will respond to proper heat treatment. Properties attained by the user,
however, may be lower than those listed if the material has been formed or otherwise cold or hot worked, particularly in the O temper, prior to solution heat treatment.
H
Properties listed for this full size increment are applicable to rod. Properties listed are also applicable to square, rectangular, hexagonal, or octagonal bar having a
2 2
maximum thickness of 4 in. [100 mm] and a maximum cross-sectional area of 36 in. [23 000 mm ].
I 2 2
For bar, maximum cross-sectional area is 50 in. [32 000 mm ].
J
Minimum yield strength for 2024-T4 wire and rod 0.125 in. [3.20 mm] and larger in thickness or diameter, produced in coil form for both straight length and coiled products,
is 40.0 ksi [275 MPa].
K
Properties listed for this size increment are applicable to rod only.
L
For rounds, maximum diameter is 4 in. [100 mm]; for square, hexagonal, or octagonal bar, maximum thickness is 3 ⁄2 in. [90 mm]; for rectangular bar, maximum thickness
is 3 in. [80 mm] with corresponding maximum width of 6 in. [150 mm]; for rectangular bar less than 3 in. [80 mm] in thickness, maximum width is 10 in. [250 mm].
M
Bend diameter factor values stated for this full size increment apply to T4 product only. Values listed also apply to T451 product in the 0.500–8.000 in. [12.20–200 mm]
size range.
