Cold-drawn 2124 T6 aluminum alloy is a material distinguished by high strength and excellent fatigue resistance. It is widely used in structural parts in the aerospace industry, automotive components requiring high durability, and heavy industrial equipment. This alloy is suitable for anodizing, which increases surface hardness and wear resistance, providing long-lasting use and an aesthetic surface appearance. However, due to its copper content, corrosion resistance is moderate; therefore, additional protective coatings are recommended for outdoor and humid environments.

Due to limited weldability, mechanical joining methods such as screwing or riveting are generally preferred. The cold-drawing process enhances formability, making the alloy suitable for complex shapes; this also makes it a bendable and flexible material. Additionally, thanks to its durable performance in high-vibration environments, it is ideal for moving parts and applications where fatigue resistance is critical. The advantages of 2124 T6 include high strength, anodizing compatibility, and machinability, while its disadvantages are limited weldability and moderate corrosion resistance. With these properties, it stands out as a reliable material for projects requiring durability and strength.
