How should members made of 2024-T4 be straightened?

  1. Heated and then cooled

  2. Straighten cold and reinforce

  3. Bent while hot

  4. Immersed in water

The correct answer is: Straighten cold and reinforce

Members made of 2024-T4 should be straightened cold and reinforced because heating and cooling them can potentially weaken the material due to the thermal expansion and contraction. Bending while hot is not recommended for this material as it can also lead to weakening. Immersing in water is not a standard method for straightening components. Cold straightening with reinforcement is the best practice for maintaining the strength and integrity of members made of 2024-T4.
