Aluminum alloys
Aluminum alloys
(OP)
A Die Design book by D. Eugene Ostergaard published in 1963 uses some Aluminum alloy numbers that are a bit strange,
or they could be the author's shortcut way of defining them. For a shear & tensile strength chart, he lists;
2S-0
2S-1/2H
24S-H
24S-0
24s-T
52S-0
52S-1/2H
52S-H
I'm guessing that,
"0" means annealed
"H" means hard, and thus 1/2H is half-hard
"T" mean tempered
But, what do the 2S, 24S, and 52S related to?
And, what would these be equivalent to in today's available alloys?
Thnx

Here is a table that shows the equivalents using modern designations.
