Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Arconic Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Arconic” or the “Company”) are unaudited. These Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The 2018 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with Arconic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (see Note C ). |
Recently Adopted and Recently I
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | 6 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued changes to the accounting and presentation of leases. These changes require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments for all operating leases with a term greater than 12 months. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019 and have been applied using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption, under which leases existing at, or entered into after, January 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also elected to separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of assets. The adoption of this new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $320 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. Also, the Company reclassified cash proceeds of $119 from Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits, assets of $24 from Properties, plants, and equipment, net, and deferred tax assets of $22 from Other noncurrent assets to Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative effect of an accounting change related to the sale-leaseback of the Texarkana, Texas cast house (see Note Q ). The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Statement of Consolidated Operations or Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that made more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amended the presentation and disclosure requirements and changed how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019. For cash flow hedges, Arconic recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2 related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness by decreasing Accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing Accumulated deficit on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amendments to presentation and disclosure are required prospectively. Arconic has determined that under the new accounting guidance it is able to more broadly use cash flow hedge accounting for its variable priced inventory purchases and customer sales. In March 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued guidance to modernize and simplify certain disclosure requirements in a manner that reduces the costs and burdens on preparers while continuing to provide all material information to investors. This guidance became effective on May 2, 2019 and has been applied to filings thereafter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Issued In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that impacts disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. These changes become effective for Arconic's annual report for the year ending December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information Arconic is a global leader in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. Arconic’s innovative, multi-material products, which include aluminum, titanium, and nickel, are used worldwide in aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, building and construction, industrial applications, defense, and packaging. Arconic’s segments are organized by product on a worldwide basis. In the first quarter of 2019, management transferred its aluminum extrusions operations (Aluminum Extrusions) from the Arconic Engineered Structures (AES) business unit within the Engineered Products and Solutions (EP&S) segment to the Global Rolled Products (GRP) segment, based on synergies with GRP including similar customer base, technologies, and manufacturing capabilities. Prior period financial information has been recast to conform to current year presentation. Segment performance under Arconic’s management reporting system is evaluated based on a number of factors; however, the primary measure of performance is Segment operating profit. Arconic’s definition of Segment operating profit is Operating income excluding Special items. Special items include Restructuring and other charges. Segment operating profit includes the impact of LIFO inventory accounting, metal price lag, intersegment profit eliminations, and derivative activities. Segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Differences between segment totals and consolidated Arconic are in Corporate. As a result of the reorganization of Aluminum Extrusions noted above, management assessed and concluded that the remaining AES business unit and the Aluminum Extrusions business unit represent reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Goodwill of $110 was reallocated from the AES reporting unit to the Aluminum Extrusions reporting unit and these reporting units were evaluated for impairment during the first quarter of 2019. The estimated fair value of each of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value; thus, there was no goodwill impairment. In the second quarter of 2019, management transferred its castings operations from the AES business unit to the Arconic Engines (AEN) business unit within the EP&S segment based on process expertise for investment castings that existed within AEN. As a result, goodwill of $105 was reallocated from the AES reporting unit to the AEN reporting unit and these reporting units were evaluated for impairment during the second quarter of 2019. The estimated fair value of each of these reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value; thus, there was no impairment. Also in the second quarter of 2019, as a result of the decline in the forecasted financial performance and related impairment of long-lived assets of the Disks asset group within the AEN business unit (see Note M ), an additional evaluation of the AEN reporting unit goodwill was performed. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value; thus, there was no impairment of goodwill. The Company will continue to evaluate its organizational structure and portfolio in conjunction with its planned separation (see Note S ), which may result in further changes to its reportable segments and the need to evaluate assets for impairment in future periods. The operating results of Arconic’s reportable segments were as follows: Engineered Products and Solutions Global Rolled Products Transportation and Construction Solutions Total Segment Second quarter ended June 30, 2019 Sales: Third-party sales $ 1,565 $ 1,577 $ 548 $ 3,690 Intersegment sales — 55 — 55 Total sales $ 1,565 $ 1,632 $ 548 $ 3,745 Profit and loss: Segment operating profit $ 286 $ 145 $ 107 $ 538 Restructuring and other charges 442 2 25 469 Provision for depreciation and amortization 62 54 13 129 Second quarter ended June 30, 2018 Sales: Third-party sales $ 1,474 $ 1,573 $ 562 $ 3,609 Intersegment sales — 61 — 61 Total sales $ 1,474 $ 1,634 $ 562 $ 3,670 Profit and loss: Segment operating profit $ 224 $ 111 $ 97 $ 432 Restructuring and other charges 8 2 — 10 Provision for depreciation and amortization 65 59 12 136 Engineered Products and Solutions Global Rolled Products Transportation and Construction Solutions Total Segment Six months ended June 30, 2019 Sales: Third-party sales $ 3,067 $ 3,080 $ 1,083 $ 7,230 Intersegment sales — 110 — 110 Total sales $ 3,067 $ 3,190 $ 1,083 $ 7,340 Profit and loss: Segment operating profit $ 539 $ 252 $ 194 $ 985 Restructuring and other charges 456 8 34 498 Provision for depreciation and amortization 126 108 26 260 Six months ended June 30, 2018 Sales: Third-party sales $ 2,900 $ 3,054 $ 1,099 $ 7,053 Intersegment sales — 118 — 118 Total sales $ 2,900 $ 3,172 $ 1,099 $ 7,171 Profit and loss: Segment operating profit $ 433 $ 235 $ 164 $ 832 Restructuring and other charges 9 1 — 10 Provision for depreciation and amortization 130 115 25 270 The following table reconciles Total segment operating profit to Consolidated (loss) income before income taxes : Second quarter ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total segment operating profit $ 538 $ 432 $ 985 $ 832 Unallocated amounts: Restructuring and other charges (499 ) (15 ) (511 ) (22 ) Corporate expense (120 ) (93 ) (181 ) (153 ) Consolidated operating (loss) income $ (81 ) $ 324 $ 293 $ 657 Interest expense (85 ) (89 ) (170 ) (203 ) Other expense, net (29 ) (41 ) (61 ) (61 ) Consolidated (loss) income before income taxes $ (195 ) $ 194 $ 62 $ 393 The total assets of Arconic's reportable segment were as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Engineered Products and Solutions $ 9,681 $ 9,797 Global Rolled Products 4,714 4,486 Transportation and Construction Solutions 1,216 1,089 Total segment assets $ 15,611 $ 15,372 Segment assets at June 30, 2019 included operating lease right-of-use assets (see Notes B and N ).

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company communicated to plan participants that, effective May 1, 2019, it will eliminate the life insurance benefit for its U.S. salaried and non-bargained hourly retirees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to the Accrued other postretirement benefits liability of $63 which was offset by a curtailment benefit of $58 in Restructuring and other charges and $5 in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company communicated to plan participants that, effective December 31, 2019, it will eliminate certain health care subsidies for its U.S. salaried and non-bargained hourly retirees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to the Accrued other postretirement benefits liability of $12 which was offset in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company applied settlement accounting to a U.S. pension plan due to lump sum payments to participants which resulted in settlement charges of $4 that were recorded in Restructuring and other charges. In June of 2019, the Company and the United Steelworkers (USW) reached a tentative three-year labor agreement covering approximately 3,400 employees at four U.S. locations; the previous labor agreement expired on May 15, 2019. The tentative agreement was ratified on July 11, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, Arconic recognized $9 in Cost of goods sold on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations primarily for a one-time signing bonus for employees. On July 25, 2019, the USW ratified a new four-year labor agreement covering approximately 560 employees at the Company’s Niles, Ohio facility. The prior labor agreement expired on June 30, 2018. On April 1, 2018, benefit accruals for future service and compensation under all of the Company's qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for U.S. salaried and non-bargaining hourly employees ceased. As a result of this change, in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a decrease to the Accrued pension benefit liability of $136 related to the reduction of future benefits ( $141 offset in Accumulated other comprehensive loss) and curtailment charges of $5 in Restructuring and other charges. On April 13, 2018, the United Auto Workers ratified a new five-year labor agreement, covering approximately 1,300 U.S. employees of Arconic, which expires on March 31, 2023. A provision within the agreement includes a retirement benefit increase for future retirees that participate in a defined benefit pension plan, which impacts approximately 300 of those employees. In addition, effective January 1, 2019, benefit accruals for future service ceased. As result of these changes, a curtailment charge of $9 was recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the second quarter of 2018. During the third quarter of 2016, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation approved management’s plan to separate the Alcoa Inc. pension plans between Arconic Inc. and Alcoa Corporation. The plan stipulated that Arconic make cash contributions of $150 over a period of 30 months (from November 1, 2016) to its two largest pension plans. The Company satisfied the requirements of the plan by making payments of $34 , $66 , and $50 in April 2019, March 2018, and April 2017, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Arconic’s year-to-date tax provision is comprised of the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income. The tax impact of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, the tax provision is adjusted for the interim period impact of non-benefited pre-tax losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, applied to ordinary income was 35.3% and 27.0% , respectively. The rate in each period was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to estimated U.S. tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, the state tax impact of domestic taxable income, and foreign income taxed in higher rate jurisdictions. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was also increased by certain nondeductible costs related to the proposed separation transaction and the impairment of certain domestic and foreign long-lived assets. For the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, the tax rate including discrete items was 37.9% and 38.1% , respectively. For the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a discrete benefit of $36 related to a $25 benefit to deduct prior year foreign taxes rather than claim a U.S. foreign tax credit, a $12 benefit to remeasure certain deferred tax assets as a result of a foreign tax rate change, and a net charge for a number of small items of $1 . For the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a discrete charge of $21 primarily related to revised estimates of the then provisional impact for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The tax provisions for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were comprised of the following: Second quarter ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Pre-tax income at estimated annual effective income tax rate before discrete items $ (69 ) $ 52 $ 22 $ 106 Impact of change in estimated annual effective tax rate on previous quarter’s pre-tax income 24 1 — — Interim period treatment of operational losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized 7 — 9 1 Other discrete items (36 ) 21 (35 ) 23 Provision for income taxes $ (74 ) $ 74 $ (4 ) $ 130 |

Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. The information used to compute basic and diluted EPS attributable to Arconic common shareholders was as follows (shares in millions): Second quarter ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Net (loss) income $ (121 ) $ 120 $ 66 $ 263 Less: preferred stock dividends declared — — (1 ) (1 ) Net (loss) income available to Arconic common shareholders - basic (121 ) 120 65 262 Add: Interest expense related to convertible notes — 3 — 6 Net (loss) income available to Arconic common shareholders - diluted $ (121 ) $ 123 $ 65 $ 268 Average shares outstanding - basic 445 483 458 483 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options — — — — Stock and performance awards — 5 4 5 Convertible notes — 14 — 14 Average shares outstanding - diluted 445 502 462 502 Common stock outstanding at June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 440 and 483 , respectively. The decrease in common stock outstanding at June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of share repurchases of approximately 45 in the six months ended June 30, 2019 (see Note H ). As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation for both basic and diluted EPS, the full impact of share repurchases was not realized in EPS in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 as the share repurchases occurred at varying points during 2019. The following shares were excluded from the calculation of average shares outstanding – diluted as their effect was anti-dilutive (shares in millions).

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Receivables | Receivables Arconic has an arrangement with three financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. The sale of such receivables is completed using a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is a consolidated subsidiary of Arconic. This arrangement provides up to a maximum funding of $400 for receivables sold. Arconic maintains a beneficial interest, or a right to collect cash, on the sold receivables that have not been funded (deferred purchase program). On March 30, 2012, Arconic initially sold $304 of customer receivables in exchange for $50 in cash and $254 of deferred purchase program under the arrangement. Arconic has received additional net cash funding of $300 ( $3,258 in draws and $2,958 in repayments) since the program’s inception, including net cash draws totaling $0 ( $300 in draws and $300 in repayments) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 . As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the deferred purchase program receivable was $426 and $234 , respectively, which was included in Other receivables on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred purchase program receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur; however, as this is a revolving program, the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase program receivable. The gross amount of receivables sold and total cash collected under this program since its inception was $45,626 and $44,921 , respectively. Arconic services the customer receivables for the financial institutions at market rates; therefore, no servicing asset or liability was recorded. Cash receipts from customer payments on sold receivables (which are cash receipts on the underlying trade receivables that have been previously sold in this program) as well as cash receipts and cash disbursements from draws and repayments under the program are presented as cash receipts from sold receivables within investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. |

As such, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the Disks long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted cash flows of the Disks asset group. The carrying value exceeded the undiscounted cash flows and therefore the Disks long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired. The impairment charge was measured as the amount of carrying value in excess of fair value of the long-lived assets, with fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model and a combination of sales comparison and cost approach valuation methods including an estimate for economic obsolescence. The impairment charge of $428 recorded in the second quarter of 2019 impacted properties, plant and equipment; intangible assets; and certain other noncurrent assets by $198 , $197 and $33 , respectively. The impairment charge was recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company leases land and buildings, plant equipment, vehicles, and computer equipment which have been classified as operating leases. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew; the exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion. The Company includes renewal option periods in the lease term when it is determined that the options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Certain of Arconic's real estate lease agreements include rental payments that either have fixed contractual increases over time or adjust periodically for inflation. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable lease payments. The variable portion of payments is not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to the uncertainty of the payment amount and is recorded as lease cost in the period incurred. The Company also rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties, which is not material to the consolidated financial statements. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with an initial term greater than 12 months are recorded on the balance sheet at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date and are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses an incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments, as most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments made and were reduced by lease incentives and accrued exit costs as of the adoption date. Operating lease cost, which includes short-term leases and variable lease payments and approximates cash paid, was $37 and $36 in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $74 in both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows: June 30, 2019 Right-of-use assets classified in Other noncurrent assets $ 277 Current portion of lease liabilities classified in Other current liabilities 77 Long-term portion of lease liabilities classified in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits 211 Total lease liabilities $ 288 Future minimum contractual operating lease obligations were as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 2019 $ 48 $ 94 2020 78 74 2021 57 54 2022 43 40 2023 32 30 Thereafter 90 87 Total lease payments $ 348 $ 379 Less: Imputed interest (60 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 288 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $12 and $18 , respectively. The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate at June 30, 2019 was 6 years and 6.1% , respectively. |

Credit Facilities. Arconic maintains a Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein that matures on June 29, 2023 and provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $3,000 . There were no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 , and no amounts were borrowed during 2019 or 2018 under the Credit Agreement. In addition to the Credit Agreement, Arconic has a number of other credit agreements that provide a combined borrowing capacity of $715 as of June 30, 2019 , of which $315 is due to expire in 2019 and $400 is due to expire in 2020 . The purpose of any borrowings under these credit arrangements is to provide for working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. The covenants contained in all these arrangements are the same as the Credit Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , Arconic borrowed and repaid $225 and $225 , respectively, under these other credit facilities. The weighted-average interest rate and weighted-average days outstanding during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 were 3.9% and 84 days and 3.9% and 37 days , respectively. |

Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures 2019 Divestitures. On May 31, 2019, Arconic sold a small additive manufacturing facility within the Engineered Products and Solutions segment for $1 in cash, which resulted in a loss on sale of $13 related to the non-cash impairment of the net book value of the business recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. The sale is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. On July 15, 2019, Arconic reached an agreement to sell inventories and properties, plant and equipment related to a small energy business within the Engineered Products and Solutions segment for $13 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019. As the sale agreement was substantially complete as of June 30, 2019 and the sale price was estimated to be less than the carrying value, the Company recorded an inventory impairment of $9 in the second quarter of 2019 in Cost of goods sold in the Statement of Consolidated Operations associated with the sale. The remaining net book value of the assets sold is expected to approximate the proceeds to be received. 2018 Divestitures. On April 2, 2018, Arconic completed the sale of its Latin America extrusions business to a subsidiary of Hydro Extruded Solutions AS for $2 following the settlement of post-closing and other adjustments in December 2018. As a result of entering into the agreement to sell the Latin America extrusions business in December 2017, a charge of $41 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017 in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations related to the non-cash impairment of the net book value of the business and an additional charge of $2 related to a post-closing adjustment was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018. The operating results and assets and liabilities of the business were included in the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. This business generated sales of $25 in the first quarter of 2018 and had 612 employees at the time of divestiture. On July 31, 2018, the Company announced that it had initiated a sale process of its Building and Construction Systems (BCS) business, as part of the Company’s ongoing strategy and portfolio review. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company decided to no longer pursue the sale of BCS and the business continues to be reported in the Transportation and Construction Solutions segment. On October 31, 2018, the Company sold its Texarkana, Texas rolling mill and cast house, which had a combined net book value of $63 , to Ta Chen International, Inc. for $302 in cash, including the settlement of post-closing adjustments, plus additional contingent consideration of up to $50 . The contingent consideration relates to the achievement of various milestones within 36 months of the transaction closing date associated with operationalizing the rolling mill equipment. The operating results and assets and liabilities of the business were included in the Global Rolled Products segment. The Texarkana rolling mill facility had previously been idle since late 2009. In early 2016, the Company restarted the Texarkana cast house to meet demand for aluminum slab. As part of the agreement, the Company will continue to produce aluminum slab at the facility for a period of 18 months through a lease back of the cast house building and equipment, after which time, Ta Chen will perform toll processing of metal for the Company for a period of six months . The Company will supply Ta Chen with cold-rolled aluminum coil during this 24 -month period. The sale of the rolling mill and cast house had been accounted for separately. The gain on the sale of the rolling mill of $154 , including the fair value of contingent consideration of $5 , was recorded in Restructuring and other charges in the Statement of Consolidated Operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company continues to reevaluate its estimate of the remaining $45 of contingent consideration to which it will be entitled at the end of each reporting period and recognize any changes thereto in the Statement of Consolidated Operations. The Company had continuing involvement related to the lease back of the cast house. As a result, in 2018, the Company continued to treat the cast house building and equipment that it sold to Ta Chen as owned and therefore reflected the following balances in its Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018: assets of $24 in Properties, plants, and equipment, net; cash proceeds of $119 in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits (which included a deferred gain of $95 ); and a deferred tax asset of $22 in Other noncurrent assets. In the first quarter of 2019, in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard (see Note B ), the Company's continuing involvement no longer requires deferral of the recognition of the cast house sale. As such, the cash proceeds, fixed assets, and deferred tax asset related to the cast house were reclassified to Accumulated deficit as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Commitments | Contingencies and Commitments Contingencies Environmental Matters Arconic participates in environmental assessments and cleanups at more than 100 locations. These include owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, previously owned or operating facilities and adjoining properties, and waste sites, including Superfund (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)) sites. A liability is recorded for environmental remediation when a cleanup program becomes probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, the liability is adjusted based on progress made in determining the extent of remedial actions and related costs. The liability can change substantially due to factors such as the nature and extent of contamination, changes in remedial requirements, and technological changes, among others. Arconic’s remediation reserve balance was $275 at June 30, 2019 and $266 at December 31, 2018 (of which $95 and $81 , respectively, were classified as a current liability), and reflects the most probable costs to remediate identified environmental conditions for which costs can be reasonably estimated. Payments related to remediation expenses applied against the reserve were $13 and $16 in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, which includes expenditures currently mandated, as well as those not required by any regulatory authority or third party. Included in annual operating expenses are the recurring costs of managing hazardous substances and environmental programs. These costs are estimated to be approximately 1% or less of Cost of goods sold. The following discussion provides details regarding the current status of the most significant remediation reserves related to a current Arconic site. Massena, NY— Arconic has an ongoing remediation project related to the Grasse River, which is adjacent to Arconic’s Massena plant site. Many years ago, it was determined that sediments and fish in the river contain varying levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The project, which was selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a Record of Decision issued in April 2013, is aimed at capping PCB contaminated sediments with concentration in excess of one part per million in the main channel of the river and dredging PCB contaminated sediments in the near-shore areas where total PCBs exceed one part per million. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the reserve balance associated with this matter was $210 and $198 , respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, Arconic received approval from the EPA of its final remedial design which is now under construction and is expected to be completed in 2022. During the second quarter of 2019, Arconic increased the reserve balance by $25 due to changes required in the remedial design and post-construction monitoring. As the project proceeds, the liability may be updated due to factors such as changes in remedial requirements, site restoration costs, and ongoing operation and maintenance costs, among others. Tax Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement entered into between Arconic and Alcoa Corporation in connection with the separation transaction with Alcoa Corporation, Arconic shares responsibility with Alcoa Corporation, and Alcoa Corporation has agreed to partially indemnify Arconic for 49% of the ultimate liability, with respect to the following matter. As previously reported, in July 2013, following a Spanish corporate income tax audit covering the 2006 through 2009 tax years, an assessment was received mainly disallowing certain interest deductions claimed by a Spanish consolidated tax group owned by the Company. In August 2013, the Company filed an appeal of this assessment in Spain’s Central Tax Administrative Court, which was denied in January 2015. Arconic filed another appeal in Spain’s National Court in March 2015 which was denied in July 2018. The National Court’s decision requires the assessment for the 2006 through 2009 tax years to be reissued to take into account the outcome of the 2003 to 2005 audit which was closed in 2017. The Company estimates the revised assessment to be $173 ( €152 ), including interest. In March 2019, the Supreme Court of Spain accepted the Company's petition to review the National Court’s decision. The Company is in the process of filing a formal appeal of the assessment with the Supreme Court of Spain, who will review the assessment on its merits and render a final decision. In the event the Company receives an unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Spain, a portion of the assessment may be offset with existing net operating losses and tax credits available to the Spanish consolidated tax group, which would be shared between the Company and Alcoa Corporation as provided for in the Tax Matters Agreement. Arconic has an income tax reserve, including interest, of $60 ( €52 ) and an indemnification receivable of $29 ( €25 ), representing Alcoa Corporation’s 49% share of the liability. The reserve and indemnification receivable were established in the third quarter of 2018. Additionally, while the tax years 2010 through 2013 are closed to audit, it is possible that the Company may receive assessments for tax years subsequent to 2013. Any potential assessment for an individual tax year is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated operations. Reynobond PE As previously reported, on June 13, 2017, the Grenfell Tower in London, UK caught fire resulting in fatalities, injuries and damage. A French subsidiary of Arconic, Arconic Architectural Products SAS (AAP SAS), supplied a product, Reynobond PE, to its customer, a cladding system fabricator, which used the product as one component of the overall cladding system on Grenfell Tower. The fabricator supplied its portion of the cladding system to the façade installer, who then completed and installed the system under the direction of the general contractor. Neither Arconic nor AAP SAS was involved in the design or installation of the system used at the Grenfell Tower, nor did it have a role in any other aspect of the building’s refurbishment or original design. Regulatory investigations into the overall Grenfell Tower matter are being conducted, including a criminal investigation by the London Metro Police, a Public Inquiry by the British government and a consumer protection inquiry by a French public authority. AAP SAS has sought and received core participant status in the Public Inquiry. The Company will no longer sell the PE product for architectural use on buildings. Behrens et al. v. Arconic Inc. et al. On June 6, 2019, 247 plaintiffs comprised of survivors and estates of decedents of the Grenfell Tower fire filed a complaint against “Arconic Inc., Alcoa Inc. and Arconic Architectural Products, LLC,” (collectively “Arconic”), as well as Saint-Gobain Corporation, d/b/a Celotex and Whirlpool Corporation, in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County. The complaint alleges claims under Pennsylvania state law for products liability and wrongful death related to the fire. In particular, the plaintiffs allege that Arconic knowingly supplied a dangerous product (Reynobond PE) for installation on the Grenfell Tower despite knowing that Reynobond PE was unfit for use above a certain height. Arconic removed the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on June 19, 2019. The Court’s current scheduling order provides defendants until August 29, 2019 to file motions to dismiss the complaint. Howard v. Arconic Inc. et al. As previously reported, a purported class action complaint related to the Grenfell Tower fire was filed on August 11, 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Arconic Inc. and Klaus Kleinfeld. A related purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on August 25, 2017, under the caption Sullivan v. Arconic Inc. et al. , against Arconic Inc., two former Arconic executives, several current and former Arconic directors, and banks that acted as underwriters for Arconic’s September 18, 2014 preferred stock offering (the “Preferred Offering”). The plaintiff in Sullivan had previously filed a purported class action against the same defendants on July 18, 2017 in the Southern District of New York and, on August 25, 2017, voluntarily dismissed that action without prejudice. On February 7, 2018, on motion from certain putative class members, the court consolidated Howard and Sullivan , closed Sullivan , and appointed lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case. On April 9, 2018, the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated purported class action filed a consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint alleged that the registration statement for the Preferred Offering contained false and misleading statements and omitted to state material information, including by allegedly failing to disclose material uncertainties and trends resulting from sales of Reynobond PE for unsafe uses and by allegedly expressing a belief that appropriate risk management and compliance programs had been adopted while concealing the risks posed by Reynobond PE sales. The consolidated amended complaint also alleged that between November 4, 2013 and June 23, 2017 Arconic and Kleinfeld made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information about the Company’s commitment to safety, business and financial prospects, and the risks of the Reynobond PE product, including in Arconic’s Form 10-Ks for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, its Form 10-Qs and quarterly financial press releases from the fourth quarter of 2013 through the first quarter of 2017, its 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Annual Reports, its 2016 Annual Highlights Report, and on its official website. The consolidated amended complaint sought, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. On June 8, 2018, all defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On June 21, 2019, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss in full, dismissing the consolidated amended complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On July 23, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges generally the same claims as the consolidated amended complaint with certain additional allegations, as well as claims that the risk factors set forth in the registration statement for the Preferred Offering were inadequate and that certain additional statements in the sources identified above were misleading. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and an award of attorney and expert fees and expenses. Raul v. Albaugh, et al. As previously reported, on June 22, 2018, a derivative complaint was filed nominally on behalf of Arconic by a purported Arconic shareholder against all current members of Arconic’s Board of Directors, Klaus Kleinfeld and Ken Giacobbe, naming Arconic as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint raises similar allegations as the consolidated amended complaint in Howard , as well as allegations that the defendants improperly authorized the sale of Reynobond PE for unsafe uses, and asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Delaware state law. On July 13, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to stay this case until the final resolution of the Howard case, the Grenfell Tower public inquiry in London, and the investigation by the London Metropolitan Police Service and on June 23, 2018, the Court approved the stay. While the Company believes that these cases are without merit and intends to challenge them vigorously, there can be no assurances regarding the ultimate resolution of these matters. Given the preliminary nature of these matters and the uncertainty of litigation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the possible loss or range of losses in the event of an unfavorable outcome. The Board of Directors also received letters, purportedly sent on behalf of shareholders, reciting allegations similar to those made in the federal court lawsuits and demanding that the Board authorize the Company to initiate litigation against members of management, the Board and others. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board to review, investigate, and make recommendations to the Board regarding the appropriate course of action with respect to these shareholder demand letters. On May 22, 2019, the Special Litigation Committee, following completion of its investigation into the claims demanded in the demand letters, recommended to the Board that it reject the demands to authorize commencement of litigation. On May 28, 2019, the Board adopted the Special Litigation Committee’s findings and recommendations and rejected the demands that it authorize commencement of actions to assert the claims set forth in the demand letters. Other In addition to the matters discussed above, various other lawsuits, claims, and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against Arconic, including those pertaining to environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment, tax and antitrust matters. While the amounts claimed in these other matters may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot currently be determined because of the considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s liquidity or results of operations in a period could be materially affected by one or more of these other matters. However, based on facts currently available, management believes that the disposition of these other matters that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Commitments Guarantees At June 30, 2019 , Arconic had outstanding bank guarantees related to tax matters, outstanding debt, workers’ compensation, environmental obligations, energy contracts, and customs duties, among others. The total amount committed under these guarantees, which expire at various dates between 2019 and 2026 , was $31 at June 30, 2019 . Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, Arconic was required to provide certain guarantees for Alcoa Corporation, which had a combined fair value of $8 and $6 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and were included in Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Arconic was required to provide a guarantee up to an estimated present value amount of approximately $1,215 and $1,087 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, related to a long-term supply agreement for energy for an Alcoa Corporation facility in the event of an Alcoa Corporation payment default. This guarantee expires in 2047. For this guarantee, subject to its provisions, Arconic is secondarily liable in the event of a payment default by Alcoa Corporation. Arconic currently views the risk of an Alcoa Corporation payment default on its obligations under the contract to be remote. Letters of Credit Arconic has outstanding letters of credit, primarily related to workers’ compensation, environmental obligations, and leasing obligations. The total amount committed under these letters of credit, which automatically renew or expire at various dates, mostly in 2019 , was $137 at June 30, 2019 . Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Arconic was required to retain letters of credit of $54 that had previously been provided related to both Arconic and Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims which occurred prior to November 1, 2016. Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims and letter of credit fees paid by Arconic are being proportionally billed to and are being fully reimbursed by Alcoa Corporation. Surety Bonds Arconic has outstanding surety bonds, primarily related to tax matters, contract performance, workers’ compensation, environmental-related matters, and customs duties. The total amount committed under these surety bonds, which expire at various dates, primarily in 2019 , was $50 at June 30, 2019 . Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Arconic was required to provide surety bonds related to Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims which occurred prior to November 1, 2016 and, as a result, Arconic has $24 in outstanding surety bonds relating to these liabilities. Alcoa Corporation workers’ compensation claims and surety bond fees paid by Arconic are being proportionately billed to and are being fully reimbursed by Alcoa Corporation. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Proposed Separation Transaction | Proposed Separation Transaction On February 8, 2019, Arconic announced, as part of its strategy and portfolio review, a separation of its portfolio into two independent, publicly-traded companies. One company will be named Howmet Aerospace Inc. and comprises the Engineered Products and Forgings businesses and the other company will be named Arconic Corporation and comprises the Global Rolled Products businesses. The Company will also consider the sale of businesses that do not best fit into Engineered Products and Forgings and Global Rolled Products. The businesses of the current Transportation and Construction Solutions segment will be divided, with BCS to become part of Arconic Corporation and the Arconic Wheel and Transportation Products business to become part of Howmet Aerospace. The Company is targeting to complete the separation in the second quarter of 2020. The separation transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, final approval by Arconic’s Board of Directors, receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel with respect to the tax-free nature of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, completion of financing, and the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Arconic may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the separation plan or modify or change its terms. In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Arconic recognized $16 and $19 , respectively, in Selling, general administrative, and other expenses on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations for costs related to the proposed separation transaction. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Management evaluated all activity of Arconic and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, except as noted below: See Note F for details of a three-year labor agreement with the USW at four locations. See Note F for details of a four-year labor agreement with the USW at the Company's Niles, Ohio facility. See Note Q for details of the anticipated divestiture of a small manufacturing facility. On August 2, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter agreement with John C. Plant providing for an extension of Mr. Plant’s term of employment as Chief Executive Officer through the earlier of August 6, 2020 and the date on which the expected separation occurs; the agreement provides that if the separation occurs prior to August 6, 2020, Mr. Plant will serve as an Advisor to the Company and its Board of Directors through August 6, 2020. Additionally, on August 2, 2019, the Company announced that Elmer Doty, President and Chief Operating Officer, will separate from employment with the Company, effective August 16, 2019. Mr. Doty will continue to serve as a non-employee director of the Company. |
Recently Adopted and Recently_2
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2019 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued changes to the accounting and presentation of leases. These changes require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments for all operating leases with a term greater than 12 months. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019 and have been applied using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption, under which leases existing at, or entered into after, January 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also elected to separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of assets. The adoption of this new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $320 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019. Also, the Company reclassified cash proceeds of $119 from Other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits, assets of $24 from Properties, plants, and equipment, net, and deferred tax assets of $22 from Other noncurrent assets to Accumulated deficit reflecting the cumulative effect of an accounting change related to the sale-leaseback of the Texarkana, Texas cast house (see Note Q ). The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Statement of Consolidated Operations or Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that made more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amended the presentation and disclosure requirements and changed how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. These changes became effective for Arconic on January 1, 2019. For cash flow hedges, Arconic recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2 related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness by decreasing Accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing Accumulated deficit on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amendments to presentation and disclosure are required prospectively. Arconic has determined that under the new accounting guidance it is able to more broadly use cash flow hedge accounting for its variable priced inventory purchases and customer sales. In March 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued guidance to modernize and simplify certain disclosure requirements in a manner that reduces the costs and burdens on preparers while continuing to provide all material information to investors. This guidance became effective on May 2, 2019 and has been applied to filings thereafter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Issued In June 2016, the FASB added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. These changes become effective for Arconic on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that impacts disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. These changes become effective for Arconic's annual report for the year ending December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounts are computed by dividing earnings, after the deduction of preferred stock dividends declared, by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. |
Receivables | Cash receipts from customer payments on sold receivables (which are cash receipts on the underlying trade receivables that have been previously sold in this program) as well as cash receipts and cash disbursements from draws and repayments under the program are presented as cash receipts from sold receivables within investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. |
