Aluminum 2017
Aluminum 2017 is a heat-treatable aluminum-copper alloy known for strong mechanical properties and good machinability. It’s commonly specified for applications where a reliable strength-to-weight ratio is needed, and is often supplied in tempers that meet the performance requirements of aerospace and industrial components.
Tech Steel & Materials supplies Aluminum 2017 in a range of product forms including bar, rod, sheet, and wire. Material can be provided with full certifications, traceability, and value-added services such as custom cutting, machining, testing, and special packaging for domestic or international shipment.
Because aluminum-copper alloys can offer lower corrosion resistance than some general-purpose aluminum grades, Aluminum 2017 is frequently used in controlled environments or where protective finishes are applied.
Aluminum 2017 – FAQ
What is Aluminum 2017?
