Mechanical properties of 2017A aluminum alloy (EN 485)

Thermal properties of 2017A / 2017 aluminum plate

Corrosion resistance of 2017A / 2017 aluminum plate

2017 aluminum alloy has relatively poor corrosion resistance due to its high copper (Cu) content, making it susceptible to galvanic and stress corrosion.

• Alclad layer: A thin layer of pure aluminum is applied to the surface of 2017 alloy to shield it from corrosive environments.
• Protective coating: Anti-corrosion coatings (e.g., paint or spray) are applied to isolate the alloy from environmental exposure.
• Alloy combination: Combined use with corrosion-resistant alloys such as manganese or silicon-rich alloys.
• Avoid contact with dissimilar metals: Prevents galvanic corrosion by insulating 2017 aluminum from direct contact with other metals using pads or coatings.

Advantages of 2017A / 2017 aluminum plate

• High strength: Performs even better than 7075 aluminum at elevated temperatures (>125°C) and rivals certain steels, making it ideal for high-stress structural parts.
• Excellent fatigue resistance: Perfect for dynamic structures in aerospace, machinery, and automotive applications that endure repeated loads over time.
• Great machinability: Easy to cut, drill, turn, and form while maintaining mechanical stability after processing.
• Lightweight: With a density of about 2.79 g/cm³, it delivers high strength with reduced weight—perfect for lightweight structural designs.
• Improved corrosion resistance: Though not as naturally corrosion-resistant as 5xxx or 6xxx series, its durability can be greatly enhanced through anodizing and coatings, meeting the demands of most environments.

Processing and heat treatment recommendations for 2017A / 2017 aluminum plate

We offer one-stop processing services to deliver finished products that meet your performance and application needs—including cutting, heat treatment, and grinding of bars, plates, and sheets.

Formability

O temper (annealed): Best formability; ideal for applications requiring high ductility.

T4 temper: Good formability with moderate strength; suitable for light to medium stamping or drawing operations.

Machinability

T4 temper: Excellent machinability; the most recommended state for machining.

O temper: Lower machinability; not ideal for mechanical processing.

Use oil-based lubricants for better surface finish and extended tool life during machining.

Weldability

Not recommended for standard welding methods, as it can significantly reduce corrosion resistance.

If welding is required, resistance welding is preferred and must be carefully controlled.

Not suitable for TIG/MIG welding unless special pre-treatment and filler materials are used.

Solution heat treatment

Heat at 940°F (approx. 500°C) for 3–4 hours, followed by water quenching.

Natural aging at room temperature is required to achieve T4 temper.

O temper annealing

Anneal at 775°F (approx. 415°C) for 3 hours, then cool at 50°F (10°C) per hour down to 500°F (260°C), followed by air cooling.

Cold working performance

T4 temper is best suited for cold working such as bending, forming, or stamping.

Compatible with standard forming processes and adaptable to various tooling setups.

2017 aluminum plate – frequently asked questions

What is the price of 2017 aluminum plate per kg?

The price varies depending on quantity, thickness, and temper (T4, T3, etc.) For exact pricing, contact us with your specifications.

What’s the difference between 2017 and 2024 aluminum plate?

Both are high-strength 2xxx series alloys, but 2024 offers slightly higher strength and better fatigue resistance, while 2017 provides better machinability and is easier to process in T4 condition.

2017 vs 2014 aluminum – how do they compare?

2014 has higher strength and better toughness, especially for aerospace applications, while 2017 is more suitable for machined components and applications requiring good cutting performance.

How does 2017 compare with 7075 aluminum?

7075 is much stronger and used in highly stressed structural parts (e.g., aircraft wings), but 2017 is more affordable, easier to machine, and sufficient for medium-strength applications.

How does 2017 differ from 6061 aluminum?

6061 is a Mg-Si alloy with better corrosion resistance and weldability, but its strength is lower than 2017, making 2017 more suitable for mechanical components requiring greater load-bearing capacity.

How to Choose the Right Aluminum Plate?

When choosing between 2017, 2024, 7075, or 6061, consider your priorities—7075 offers the highest strength, 2017 excels in machinability and cost-performance, while 6061 provides the best corrosion resistance and weldability for general applications.
