The cold-drawn 2017 T651 aluminum alloy is known for its high strength and good machinability, making it ideal for use in industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, and engineering where durability and reliability are critical. Suitable for load-bearing components, this alloy delivers long-lasting performance due to its high strength. While its copper content boosts strength, it slightly limits natural corrosion resistance, so additional protective coating is recommended in challenging environmental conditions. Compatible with anodizing, 2017 T651 aluminum provides both an aesthetic finish and enhanced surface durability, offering improved corrosion resistance.
The weldability of this alloy is limited, so mechanical fastening methods are generally preferred for assembly. Due to the cold-drawing process, 2017 T651 exhibits high formability, allowing it to adapt well to complex and intricate shapes. It also has excellent vibration resistance, making it a reliable choice in high-vibration environments, such as automotive and aerospace applications. Key advantages include high strength, machinability, anodizing compatibility, and bendability, while drawbacks include limited natural corrosion resistance and restricted weldability. Altogether, the 2017 T651 aluminum alloy is an ideal choice for projects demanding durability and high performance.
