What is the EN AW 2000 Series?
The EN AW 2000 series uses copper as the main alloying element and provides high mechanical strength. It is selected for demanding engineering applications, although weldability and corrosion resistance are more limited than many other aluminium series.
- High mechanical strength.
- Used in aerospace, defence and machine parts.
- Includes highly machinable special grades.
- Surface protection may be required against corrosion.
| EN AW Code | Typical Application Area |
|---|---|
| EN AW 2007 | Contains lead; short-chip machining on automatic lathes. |
| EN AW 2011 | One of the best machinable aluminium alloys; screws and fasteners. |
| EN AW 2014 / 2014A | Heavy-duty forged parts and aerospace structures. |
| EN AW 2017A | Known as Duralumin; high-strength machine parts. |
| EN AW 2024 | Core aerospace alloy with very high fatigue resistance. |
| EN AW 2618A | High-temperature resistance for pistons and compressor parts. |
Why Proper Alloy Selection Matters
Choosing the correct aluminium alloy directly affects strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, anodising quality, machinability and cost efficiency. Different EN AW designations in the same product form may significantly change product lifetime and service reliability.
