Semih Metals is well known as an excellent manufacturer and supplier in the Istanbul part of the İzmir. High-quality metal items are the major specialties of Semih, and they carry a wide variety of alloys. Alloys like 2017 made of Aluminium 2017 Forgings produce high-strength forgings in addition to fine machinability. Such forgings are used widely in applications under high-performance in stress and in corrosion. It promises accuracy and innovation through Semih Metals so that every product manufactured is stringent industry standards for aerospace, automotive, and engineering, hence fulfilling the high demand of the ever-increasing high-strength aluminium components.
Aluminium 2017 forgings are composed primarily of 90-94% aluminium, key alloying elements: 4.0-5.0% copper, 1.2-1.8% manganese, 0.4-0.9% silicon and small quantities of magnesium, iron, and zinc. The aluminium 2017 alloy offers great strength along with good machinability. Its usage is for aerospace and structural applications. Tensile strength: 450-500 MPa Yield strength: 300-350 MPa Elongation: 10-15%. The material resists wear and fatigue well, but it offers lower corrosion resistance than other aluminum alloys, hence its suitability in high-stress environments where strength is the utmost importance.

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.
The applications of Aluminium 2017 forgings are based on high strength and resistance to fatigue. Most of these forgings are utilized in the aircraft structures of aerospace industries, mainly in wings, fuselage, and other high-stress load-carrying components. Some of the typical applications include military and defense such as missile parts and high-performance car components. Good machinability, in addition to good stress and corrosion resistance, makes them suitable for marine environments, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment applications. The durability and maintenance of structural strength under stress make Al 2017 forgings invaluable.
