Key Features of 7075 Aluminum Alloy
1. Chemical Composition of 7075 Aluminum Alloy
7075 alloy achieves its exceptional strength through a precise balance of elements:
Element | Composition (%) | Role |
---|---|---|
Zinc (Zn) | 5.1–6.1 | Primary strengthener via precipitation hardening |
Magnesium (Mg) | 2.1–2.9 | Enhances tensile strength and corrosion resistance |
Copper (Cu) | 1.2–2.0 | Improves machinability and fatigue resistance |
Chromium (Cr) | 0.18–0.28 | Refines grain structure for toughness |
Aluminum (Al) | Balance | Base material providing lightweight properties |
Trace elements (Fe, Si, Ti) controlled to ≤0.50%. Request full ASTM B209/B221 compliance data.

A: 7075-T6 offers peak strength (572 MPa tensile) but lower stress-corrosion resistance. 7075-T7351 sacrifices ~10% strength for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
A: Yes, but it requires specialized techniques (e.g., friction-stir welding). Arc welding may reduce strength due to thermal cracking risks.
A: 7075 has 2x higher strength than 6061-T6 but lower corrosion resistance and weldability. Use 6061 for general-purpose structural applications.
A: Anodizing (Type III), alodine coatings, or powder coating to enhance corrosion resistance.
A: MOQ starts at 500 kg for standard profiles. Custom tempers/quantities available for OEMs.
A: Yes, all orders include Mill Test Reports (MTRs) with chemical, mechanical, and thermal data.
