Strategically located in the heart of Manama, Bahrain, Junaid Metals has built a reputation as a trusted partner for high-quality aluminium solutions. We take pride in our expertise with Aluminium 2017 Forgings, a high-strength alloy chosen for demanding applications. Our commitment extends beyond mere supply; we work closely with clients to deliver precision-forged components that meet the toughest industrial standards, ensuring reliability and performance right from the center of the Gulf’s dynamic manufacturing landscape.
The strength of Aluminium 2017 lies in its composition, primarily aluminium with a significant addition of copper. This combination gives the alloy its notable high strength and excellent machinability after a heat treatment process. While it offers less resistance to corrosion compared to some other aluminium series, this trade-off is made for superior mechanical performance, making it a workhorse material where durability and the ability to be finely machined are critical priorities.

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.
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 sectors where failure is not an option. You will commonly find these components forming the backbone of aerospace assemblies, in critical parts of military equipment, and within heavy-duty transportation systems like trucks and railways. They are also essential in the manufacturing of durable tools, jigs, and fixtures, proving their worth anywhere a combination of high strength, fatigue resistance, and reliable performance under stress is absolutely necessary.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
