Aluminum Alloy Sheets

As an alloy that offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio than that of steel, 7075 is an aluminium alloy that contains zinc as the primary alloying element. Although it can be purchased in a number of different tempers, including 7075-T651 aluminium, 7075-T7351 aluminium, and 7075-0, each temper displays a unique set of properties. Grade 7075 is easy to work with and machinable. General welding is not recommended with 7075 aluminium alloy. However, you may achieve desirable results when applying resistance welding to the alloy. The application of arc or gas welding may lower the alloy's natural anti-corrosion properties. 7075 is widely used for construction of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages. Its strength and light weight are also desirable in other fields. Rock climbing equipment and bicycle components are commonly made from 7075 aluminium alloy. The light weight and toughness characteristics of grade 7075 are valued highly by manufacturers and end users. As a strong, machinable aluminium alloy, it is highly used in the automotive, aircraft and aerospace industries. Highly stressed parts, such as gears, fuse parts, structural components, and bows are often comprised of 7075 aluminium alloy.
