  Aluminum alloy 7075 is an aluminum alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It is strong, with a strength comparable to many steels, and has good fatigue strength and average machinability. It has lower resistance to corrosion than many other Al alloys, but has significantly better corrosion resistance than the 2000 alloys. Its relatively high cost limits its use to applications where cheaper alloys are not suitable.
  7075 aluminum alloy‘s composition roughly includes 5.6–6.1% zinc, 2.1–2.5% magnesium, 1.2–1.6% copper, and less than a half percent of silicon, iron, manganese, titanium, chromium, and other metals. It is produced in many tempers, some of which are 7075-0, 7075-T6, 7075-T651.

  Due to their high strength-to-density ratio 7000 series alloys such as 7075 are often used in transport applications, including marine, automotive and aviation.These same properties lead to its use in rock climbing equipment, bicycle components, inlineskating-frames and hang glider airframes are commonly made from 7075 aluminium alloy. Hobby grade RC models commonly use 7075 and 6061 for chassis plates. 7075 is used in the manufacturing of M16 rifles for the American military. In particular high quality M16 rifle lower and upper receivers as well as extension tubes are typically made from 7075-T6 alloy. Desert Tactical Arms, SIG Sauer, and French armament company PGM use it for their precision rifles. It is also commonly used in shafts for lacrosse sticks, such as the STX sabre, and camping knife and fork sets. It is a common material used in competition yo-yos as well.
  Due to its high strength, low density, thermal properties, and its ability to be highly polished, 7075 is widely used in mold tool manufacturing. This alloy has been further refined into other 7000 series alloys for this application, namely 7050 and 7020.

  To the 7075 aluminum alloy, in addition to the use of daily life, with the continuous improvement of technology, aluminum 7075 is also began to use in important transportation areas, such as aerospace structure materials, at the present, it has entered the development of the automotive field. With the rapid development of modern aerospace industry, higher requirements for the comprehensive properties of high-strength aluminum alloys are put forward. At the same time, the development of modern nuclear industry and transportation industry is in urgent need of high performance, light and economic structure materials, aluminum alloy technology has become the trend of the times.
  
  The 7000 series aluminum is the strongest material in aluminum alloy. Especially, 7075 is super hard aluminum this is the main advantages of 7075 aluminum. With 7075-T651 aluminum alloy especially high quality, 7075 aluminum is praised as the best product of aluminum alloy, which has high strength and far better than any soft steel. The 7075 aluminium alloy has good mechanical and anodic reaction. The common product of 7075 aluminum alloy are 7075 aluminum sheet and 7075 aluminum profile. The representative applications are aeronautics and astronautics, mold processing, mechanical equipment and fixture, especially for the manufacture of aircraft structures and other high stress structures requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.

  7075 aluminium alloy is a very high strength aerospace aluminium and is commonly used in applications where the strength of the material is critical and where the need for good corrosion resistance is not important.
  
  Offering superior stress corrosion resistance, 7075 provides very high yield and tensile strengths which is dictated by the particular chosen temper.
  
  Key Features:
  7075 Aluminium Alloy is used where high strength is critical and where good corrosion resistance is not important. It is classed as a very high strength aluminium aerospace alloy with superior stress corrosion resistance. Depending on the temper, 7075 offers up to 465 MPa yield strength and 540 MPa tensile strength.

  Alloy 7075 is a cold finished aluminium with the highest strength of all grades of aluminium alloys. It also has moderate corrosion resistance. Alloy 7075 can be both hard and claer coat anodized.T73 temper offers better stress corrosion cracking resistance than temper T6.Used for Gears, shafts, aircraft aprts, valve parts, low production plastic mould tools, blow moulds for plastic bottles.T6 temper 0-152.4mm diameterT73 temper 153-310mm diameterT73 temper 500mm square
  This aluminum plate is made of one of the strongest of the aluminum alloys. Its use parallels that of 2024, with 7075 selected when higher mechanical properties are desired. 7075 aluminum is an aluminum-zinc alloy with 1%-8% zinc in addition to small amounts of magnesium and small quantities of copper and chromium. This alloy is precipitation hardened to very high strength levels. Alloy 7075 is used in airframe structures and other highly stressed components.
