When next to know about 7075 aluminium alloy plate / sheet,it is necessary to know the use of alloy 7075 grade ,7075 aluminium alloy plate / sheet belong to 7075 alloy grade.
Alloy 7075 grade is one of the highest strength aluminum alloys available. It has an excellent strength-to weight ratio, and it is ideally used for highly stressed parts. This grade can be formed in the annealed condition and subsequently heat treated, if needed. It can also be spot or flash welded (arc and gas not recommended).
Our 7075 aluminium alloy plate / sheet has T651 temper, indicating it has been solution heat treated followed by a minimal stretching to reduce stresses in the material. The material was then artificially aged to allow the alloying elements to precipitate out of the material, to give immediate maximum strength.
The available sizes for the 7075 aluminium alloy plate / sheet are between .25 and 8 inches thick, 48.5 and 60.5 inches wide and up to 144.5 inches long.
The weldability of this metal is low, but the formability is great. When forging is used, it’s required that the alloy be placed in temperatures between 700 and 900 degrees F. Afterwards, solution heat treatment should be used.
7075 aluminium alloy plate / sheet designed for use in aircraft fittings, gears, shafts, fuse parts, missiles, regulating valves, keys, aircrafts, aerospace, and applications that require high strength aluminum.
