Aluminium Plates

Rolled plate
Avional 100
EN AW 2017

An alloy that's widely used for the construction of moulds or parts subject to high levels of static or dynamic stress.

Used in place of the 2007 and 2011 alloy in the hydraulics industry. This alloy's main alloying element is copper, and its main characteristic is its elasticity, which renders this alloy particularly suitable for a wide range of applications.

technical characteristics

Weldability

  • TIG/MIG: difficult
  • For resistance: difficult
  • For repairs: sufficient

Surface treatments

  • Technical anodisation: good
  • Decorative anodisation: sufficient
  • Photoengraving: suitable

Availability

Avional 2017 is available in the hardened, stretched and artificially aged state (T451) in thicknesses ranging from 8 to 120 mm; for greater thickness, we recommend using Castal Premium 70 (7021 T6) instead, wherever possible.
