Description:   

T-Form sheet was developed as a replacement for applications presently requiring O or W tempers. This results in a substantial cost reduction due to the elimination of solution heat treating and associated operations.

T-Form  sheet has superior formability, approaching that of 2024-O or
2024-W, making it a suitable replacement for these tempers in many applications. 

Target Applications:    

	Simple to moderately complex parts.
	Bending, stretch forming, hydroforming.
	Parts formed in 2024-O followed by heat treating.
	Parts heat treated followed by forming in 2024-W.
	Components using 2024-T3 with high scrap rates.  *Note: Difference in guaranteed properties vs. T3 must be considered.
