  • Machines at high speeds
  • Machined surfaces are bright and smooth
  • Excellent mechanical properties and hardness
  • Fair corrosion resistance
  • Fair weld ability by resistance method
    • 2014- Used in heavy applications and is one of the strongest of heat-treatable alloys. Mostly used for forging alloy.
    • Adequate coolant
    • Light-to-medium cuts and sharp tools
    • Machined surfaces are very smooth
    • Fair corrosion resistance
    • Weld ability is good with arc and resistance methods
    2017- Similar to 2011, but stronger and harder to machine because it doesn’t have the fine chip like the 2011. Recommended for heavy parts because of its strength.
    • Used for rivets, fasteners and aircraft components
    • Fair corrosion resistance
    • Ductility and formability better than 2014
    • Fair workability
    • Satisfactory arc and resistance weld ability
    2024- Higher properties than 2017 and 2024. Known as “aircraft alloy” in rod machining and is one of the most popular alloys for cold heading and roll threading applications.
    • Basic alloy for cold finished rectangular bar
    • Fair corrosion resistance
    • Machined to a high finish
    • Formability considered fair in cold state
    • Applications include Phillips head screws, wood screws and hydraulic fittings
