7075 Aluminium Bar

For critical strength applications

7075 aluminium alloy bars combines good corrosion resistance and high strength.

7075 aluminium is a high strength aluminium alloy that offers good machinability and weldability.

It is also resistant to atmospheric corrosion and is one of the most widely used aluminium bar grades in the aerospace industry. 7075 aluminium bar is used in aerospace applications where high strength is required, but corrosion resistance is not essential.

The alloy boasts impressive yield and tensile strength, and the chosen temper determines the basis of such characteristics. Typical uses include aircraft wing tension members, fuselage, and aircraft structures. Note that 7075 aluminium has a higher fatigue crack propagation rate when compared to 2024.
