2024 is the workhorse aerospace aluminium alloy, valued for a high strength to weight ratio and outstanding fatigue resistance. Its copper and magnesium content makes it heat treatable to very high strength but reduces corrosion resistance and weldability, so it is usually mechanically fastened and supplied Alclad or anodised.
Sarovar Tube Industries manufactures, stocks and exports 2024 Aluminium Plate from Mumbai to customers across the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Every heat is verified by in-house testing before despatch and supported by complete documentation, so the material you receive is exactly the material you specified.

Material is released only after the following checks are completed and recorded:
2024 Aluminium Plate is specified across the following industries and services:
All material is manufactured and tested to ASTM B209 / AMS 4037 / QQ-A-250/4, UNS A92024. Equivalent grades include AA 2024, EN AW-2024, DIN 3.1355, AlCu4Mg1. The governing standard is printed on every mill test certificate.
Every consignment ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate covering heat-wise chemical analysis and mechanical properties. Type 3.2 certification with third party inspection by TUV, SGS, BV or Lloyd's is available when specified at the enquiry stage.
Yes. Beyond the standard range shown above we manufacture to customer drawings and specifications, including special lengths, non-standard wall thickness and machined profiles. Share your drawing with the enquiry and our technical team will confirm feasibility and lead time.
Stock items are despatched within three to five working days of order confirmation. Made-to-order material typically takes four to six weeks depending on grade, size and heat treatment requirements. Export documentation and packing are handled in house.
Custom fabrication, special sizes and complete export documentation are handled in house. Send us your drawing or specification and our technical team will come back with a detailed offer, usually within one working day.
