7075 aluminum alloy is a high-strength, heat-treatable wrought alloy developed by Alcoa in 1943. The alloy contains zinc, magnesium, chromium and copper as hardeners, as well as small amounts of iron, silicon, manganese and titanium. Al-7075 is much stronger than carbon steel after heat treatment. The tempered design include aluminum 7075-T6, T651, T7351, T73, T76, T7651, O, W, W51, etc.
Aluminum 7075 responds to age hardening heat treatment, resulting in extremely high mechanical properties. However, this alloy exhibits a certain degree of notch sensitivity. Material 7075 shows good formability in annealed and solution heat treated conditions at ambient temperature and in 7075-T6 conditions at elevated temperatures.
The 7075 alloy has good machinability in the annealed condition, little or no warping occurs during the age-hardening process. Its corrosion resistance is good and is further improved by heat treatment and aging. The alloy resists stress corrosion cracking in the 7075-T73 temper. Al-7075 can be resistance welded, but fusion welding is not generally recommended.
AA-7075 has various sizes and can be used for thin plates, strips, plates, bars, wires, seamless tubes, forgings, shapes and extrusions.
The abbreviations AA7075 and Al-7075 in this article are the same material. Al-Aluminum; AA-Aluminum Alloy or The Aluminum Association.
