7075 Aluminum
High grade 7075 Aluminum was initially developed for use in Japan’s aircraft production lines. It was made entirely secret, and it has spread worldwide since then. In general, the primary alloying element is zinc, and it is crucial to this alloy’s properties. Furthermore, 7075 was the first Al-Zn-Mg-Cu high-strength alloy to hit the market. The end product is corrosion resistant since it has chromium added to it. In addition, it resists cracking better than most other sheet alloys.
Nevertheless, 7-75 possesses poor weldability, making it unsuitable for many purposes. Its high strength-to-density ratio makes it a common choice in many situations. For example, it is widespread in rock climbing equipment, airframes, and rifles.
7075 T651 Aluminum
Today, many aerospace companies utilize 7075 T651 aluminum because of its unique properties. For example, it weighs less than similarly durable material choices. Likewise, this tempered alloy has higher than usual tensile strength. So, if you have a high-strength application, it would make sense to use it.
7075 T6 Sheet
Sometimes, companies need precision orders of aluminum sheets, such as T6 sheets. These are made with tight tolerances within +/-0.005″ of design specs. Moreover, these custom machined sheets can be ordered at will.
7050 T7451
Sometimes, manufacturers require specific alloys, like 7050 T7451. You can order them in variable sizes from here when this is the case. Once you have placed an order, they will custom make it and then ship it to you.
