2017 Aluminium

2017 Aluminium is an aluminum-copper alloy with high strength and good machinability. It is widely used in applications that demand toughness and high fatigue strength. This alloy is heat treatable and has good forming characteristics in its annealed condition. However, it has lower corrosion resistance compared to other aluminum alloys, which is why it is often coated or anodized. 2017 aluminium is frequently used in aerospace and automotive applications.

Solitaire Steel & Engineering LLP, located in Khetwadi, Mumbai, India, is a trusted supplier and exporter of 2017 aluminium products. We offer a wide range of products such as sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, bars, angles, channels, and fittings in compliance with global standards.
