Aluminium Alloy 7075 is a high-strength heat-treatable aluminium-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy widely used for aerospace and other demanding lightweight structures.
One of the most widely recognized high-strength aluminium alloys.
Provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Commonly machined into aerospace and engineering parts.
Corrosion behavior requires more attention than in common 5xxx and 6xxx alloys.
Aluminium Alloy 7075 is selected for applications that match its specific strength, corrosion, forming, machining and service characteristics.
Used for aircraft fittings, frames and highly loaded components.
Used for selected aerospace and high-strength hardware.
Suitable for lightweight tooling and dies where strength and machinability are required.
Applied to sporting and engineering components where high strength-to-weight is important.
T6, T73, T76 and other tempers have different strength and corrosion-performance trade-offs.
Surface treatment, cladding or coating may be needed for severe environments.
Fusion welding is generally less favored because heat-affected-zone strength can be substantially reduced.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for Aluminium Alloy 7075 is 3.4365. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
Yes. It is a precipitation-hardening aluminium alloy.
It offers useful corrosion resistance but generally requires more environmental protection than 5xxx or many 6xxx alloys.
Typical uses include aerospace fittings and structures, high-strength hardware, tooling and performance components.
