From the vibrant heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals stands as a trusted name in engineering solutions, blending local insight with expert manufacturing. We are proud to produce and supply high-grade Aluminium 2017 Forgings, crafted with precision to meet the rigorous demands of Ethiopia’s growing industrial sector. Our commitment is not just to provide a product, but to deliver reliability and strength, forging partnerships that help build a stronger future for the nation’s infrastructure and innovation.
Known for its exceptional strength, Aluminium 2017 achieves this through a precise composition of copper, magnesium, and manganese. This blend, when expertly forged, gives the material its notable hardness and durability. It’s a high-strength alloy that can withstand significant stress, making it a go-to choice for heavy-duty applications. The forging process itself enhances its internal grain structure, resulting in superior mechanical properties that outperform many standard aluminium options.

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 robust nature of Aluminium 2017 Forgings makes them indispensable in high-stress environments. You’ll find them at the core of demanding applications like aircraft components, heavy-duty truck frames, and critical parts for military vehicles. Beyond transportation, they are vital in the manufacturing of high-strength machinery parts, robust gears, and even structural components within the construction industry. Essentially, wherever exceptional strength and reliability are non-negotiable, these forgings provide the necessary backbone for safety and performance.
