7075 Aluminium

Technical Datasheet
Commercial Aluminium Alloy Service. Quality. Value.

Applications Key features:


• Aircraft structures • Very high strength aerospace aluminium
• Gears & shafts • Used where high strength is critical and where good
• Automotive corrosion resistance is not important
• Up to 465 MPa yield strength and 540 MPa tensile
Product Description strength depending on temper
• Superior stress corrosion
7075 aluminium alloy is a very high strength aerospace
aluminium and is commonly used in applications where Machinability
the strength of the material is critical and where the need
for good corrosion resistance is not important. Offering Fair
superior stress corrosion resistance, 7075 provides very
high yield and tensile strengths which is dictated by the Availability
particular chosen temper.
