7075 Aluminum Bar

The 7075 aluminum rod is a high-strength aluminum alloy with zinc as the primary alloying element, widely used in the aerospace and aviation industries.

The 7075 aluminum rod is an ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy suitable for load-bearing structural components, especially in the aerospace sector. Its machinability is excellent, and although its performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments is somewhat limited, it can meet various demanding application requirements with appropriate surface treatments and design.

Characteristics of 7075 Aluminum Rod

• 1. High Strength: The 7075 aluminum alloy is regarded as one of the strongest commercially available aluminum alloys. Its yield strength and tensile strength are very high, comparable to some steels, making it suitable for structures that need to bear heavy loads.
• 2. Corrosion Resistance: Although the corrosion resistance of 7075 aluminum is slightly inferior to that of ordinary aluminum alloys, surface treatments can effectively enhance its corrosion resistance.
• 3. Excellent Mechanical Properties: The 7075 aluminum alloy exhibits excellent mechanical properties at room temperature, making it suitable for manufacturing various high-load structural components.
• 4. Weldability and Machinability: While the plasticity of 7075 aluminum alloy is relatively low, it can still be machined under suitable conditions. It is easy to machine at room temperature, making it particularly suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes.
• 5. High-Temperature Performance: The strength of 7075 aluminum alloy decreases at high temperatures, and it is generally suitable for use at temperatures below 120°C.

Machining Characteristics of 7075 Aluminum Rod

• Machining: The 7075 aluminum alloy is well-suited for machining, but appropriate tools and cutting parameters should be used to avoid excessive tool wear or the generation of cutting heat.
• Heat Treatment: The mechanical properties of 7075 aluminum alloy can be significantly improved through heat treatment. Common heat treatment states include T6 and T73, with 7075 aluminum alloy in the T6 state having the highest strength.
• Anodizing: To improve the corrosion resistance and surface hardness of 7075 aluminum alloy, anodizing is typically applied.
