| The
2017-T3 alloy has copper as its major alloying element and is one of the
wrought alloys. The alloy contains 4.0% Cu, 0.7% Mn, 0.6% Mg, 0.5% Si,
with the balance being aluminum. The T3 heat treatment requires furnace
solution heat treatment followed by a quench to room temperature, and cold
work.
The alloy has an ultimate tensile strength of about 300 MPa, a yield stress in tension of 165 MPa, and an elongation in 50 mm of 27%. |
