High-Grade 7075 Aluminum on Offer Here
Aluminum alloy 7075, which was initially developed entirely in secret and used in the production of aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII, has remained the mainstay 7XXX series alloy for aerospace and aircraft industries since its introduction into the United States market by Alcoa in 1943.
The main alloying element in 7075 is zinc. 7075 was the first Al-Zn-Mg-Cu high-strength alloy that utilized the addition of chromium as an alloying element, resulting in good stress-corrosion cracking resistance for sheet products. Although 7075 Aluminum has no weldability, a low level of corrosion resistance and only offers average performance this alloy offers considerable fatigue strength. With a high strength-to-density ratio, 7075 alloys are often used in applications such as rock climbing equipment, hang glider airframes, and military rifles. Not surprisingly, 7075 aluminum is still considered the go-to alloy for the aircraft and aerospace industries today.
7075 aluminum is well-known for its fatigue resistance. An economical choice for applications where frequent movement, pressure changes or other stresses are likely to be a regular feature, the 7075 aluminum alloy is a preferred choice for everything from bicycle parts to firearms.
7075 Aluminum Applications
In terms of strength, 7075 Aluminum is near the top of the list among aluminum alloys manufactured for the needs of consumer and industrial markets. Among other 7XXX alloys, alloy 7075 exists as a standard with a solid mix of properties suitable for aircraft and aerospace applications. In particular, this alloy utilized in various forms, including as 7075 aluminum bar, is well-suited for use in parts that endure high stress levels. The strength properties of alloy 7075 are beneficial for the manufacture of items such as aircraft structures, military grade rifles, bicycle parts and equipment, and plastic industry molds.
7075 T651 Aluminum
An aluminum alloy best suited for aerospace and aviation applications is 7075 T651. This tempered alloy has a high tensile strength which makes it particularly applicable for certain high-strength applications.
