Principal Design Features
|
|
This is an age hardenable alloy of aluminum and copper. Corrosion resistance is fair. However the forming and strength characteristics are good.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Commonly used in the manufacture of rivets and a variety of other fasteners.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
Machinability of AL 2117 is good in the T4 condition (heat treated and aged). Machining is more difficult in the annealed state and use of oil lubricant is advised for all operations.
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
The alloy has very good workability for forming either cold or hot.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
Welding of this alloy should be done by means of TIG or MIG methods. Filler rod should be of the same alloy.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
The aged T4 temper is produced by solution annealing at 935 F for sufficient time to permit thorough heating, followed by a room temperature water quench. Aging from this treatment then occurs normally at room temperature.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
Forging can be accomplished at 970 to 650 F.
|
|
|
Hot Working
|
|
Hot working may be done in the range of 800 to 650 F.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
Cold working capability is very good. Such forming should be done with the alloy in either the T4 or O (annealed) conditions.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Anneal at 775 F for 3 hours followed by controlled cooling at 50 F per hour down to 500 F. Then air cool.
|
|
|
Aging
|
|
Aging, following the solution anneal (see "Heat Treatment") occurs naturally at room temperature to product the T4 temper.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
Not applicable.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Hardens due to cold work and room temperature aging. See "Aging".
|
|
|
Other Physical Props
|
|
Electrical conductivity 37% of copper.
|
|
|
Other Mechanical Props
|
|
Shear strength for T4 condition is 28 ksi.
