Aluminum Alloy 2017

  • Aluminum Alloy 2017
  • General Characteristics

    The 2017 alloy is similar to 2011, this is a general-purpose alloy for automatic screw machine work. It is stronger than 2011, but harder to machine and doesn’t have the fine chip associated with 2011. It is recommended for heavy-duty parts due to its high strength. Workability is fair, with ductility and formability considered better than 2014. Arc and resistance weldability are satisfactory. Corrosion resistance is fair. It is used for rivets, fasteners and aircraft components.
