Brian Fasteners manufactures Aluminium 2017 Forgings in Houston—a copper-aluminum alloy valued for high machinability and strength. Typically employed in aerospace and transportation, 2017 forgings are compliant with ASTM/AMS and are heat–treated and machined to close tolerances. They offer strength where corrosion resistance is not as important, and high-load mechanical components are required.
Contains ~4.4% Cu, ~1.0% Mg, ~0.6% Mn; remainder Al. Tensile ~440–510 MPa; yield ~275 MPa (T4). Good machinability, fair corrosion resistance, heat-treatable, anodizable.

Aluminum 2017 is suitable for forging but has limited high-temperature resistance. For high-temperature forging applications, consider alloys with better heat resistance, like 2219 or 2618.
The workability of Aluminum 2017, being moderate, affects forging by requiring precise temperature control (400–480°C) to prevent cracking and achieve proper plastic deformation, making it suitable for intricate shapes with care.
Aluminum 2017 offers high strength, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, and ease of welding, making it ideal for custom forgings in aerospace, military, and high-performance applications.
Utilized in aircraft structural components, gears, shafts, drive parts, and truck frame. Also utilized in tooling, magazine parts, and precision machinery components. Brian Fasteners provides trusted 2017 forgings for high-stress, high-precision applications.
