2017A aluminium alloy is a heat treatable and wrought aluminium product which includes the significant addition of copper as an added alloying element.
2017A aluminum is a 2000-series aluminum alloy: the main alloying addition is copper, and it is formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 2017A is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-2017A. AlCu4MgSi(A) is the EN chemical designation. H14 is the British Standard (BS) designation. Additionally, the AFNOR (French) designation is A-U4G.
It originally received its standard designation in 1972.
The properties of 2017A aluminum include twelve common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare 2017A aluminum to: 2000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

FOR HIGH STRENGTH STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
The material offers an attractive combination of high strength with excellent fatigue resistance. 2017A offers good corrosion resistance though traditional welding is not possible as the corrosion resistance characteristics would be affected. Welding is possible using resistance welding techniques. With superior strength, ductility and formability, 2017A aluminium is commonly used in engineering applications. The material also offers greater strength when compared to 2011 aluminium.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
- Aerospace components
- Automotive components
- Fasteners
- Rivets
- High strength components
- Structural components
We stock 2017A in flats, round bar, plate, sheet, round tube, square bar and hexagon bar.

3. Main application / Special features of EN AW-2017A:
A resilient material with increased strength values, which is mainly used in hydraulics. Use at elevated operating temperatures above 120 ° to 180 ° C. Since normally only cold cured (T451) is used, problems can arise with larger thicknesses due to residual stress. Particularly with asymmetrical machining
