7017 aluminum alloy is a cold-treated forged alloy with high strength, far superior to mild steel. 7017 is one of the commercial force alloys. After heat treatment, very high strength properties can be achieved. 7017 materials are generally added with a small amount of copper, chromium and other alloys. Among this series, the 7017-T651 aluminum alloy is particularly high-quality, known as the aluminum alloy product, with high strength and far better than any mild steel. This alloy has good mechanical properties and positive reaction.
7017 aluminum alloy is used in commercial aluminum panels and military use or in armored equipment. 7017 aluminum alloy has higher strength, weldability and corrosion resistance, which is more in line with the needs of military armor. Compared with the traditional 7039 aluminum alloy, the 7017 aluminum alloy has a smaller bursting property, and its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of the 5083 alloy and the 5039 alloy in the 5 series alloy.

7017 mainly contains zinc element. It is an aluminum-magnesium-zinc-copper alloy. It is a heat-treatable alloy. It is a super-hard aluminum alloy with good wear resistance. The 7017 aluminum plate is stressed and will not be deformed or warped after processing. Thick 7017 aluminum plates are all detected, which can ensure no blisters and impurities. 7017 aluminum plates have high thermal conductivity, which can shorten the molding time and improve work efficiency. The main feature is that the hardness is high. 7017 is a high-hardness, aluminum alloy, which is often used in the manufacture of aircraft structures and futures. It requires high-strength structural parts and mold manufacturing with high strength and strong corrosion resistance.
