The 7075 aluminum plate is a cold-treatment forging alloy with high strength and high hardness, which is far superior to soft steel.The 7075 aluminum plate is one of the commercial strength alloys, common corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and anodic reaction.The fine grain makes the deep drilling performance better, the tool wear resistance is enhanced, the thread rolling is different, and the metal material is the preferred metal material with high density requirement and high hardness requirement.

7075 is an aluminum alloy with zinc as the main alloy, but sometimes a small amount of magnesium and copper is added.Among these is of hard aluminum alloy containing zinc, lead, magnesium and copper alloy, close to the hardness of steel, heat treatment reinforcement, high strength, heat treatable alloys, corrosion resistant performance of ordinary, good mechanical properties.

Aluminum 7075 is a kind of cold treatment forging alloy, the strength is higher than soft steel.The 7075 alloy is one of commercial powerful alloys.General corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and anodic reaction. Fine grain makes deep drilling performance better, tool wear resistance is enhanced, and thread rolling is different.
7075 aluminum alloy plate has been the standard workhorse 7XXX series alloy within the aerospace industry. Zinc is the primary alloying element in 7075 and was the first successful Al-Zn-Mg-Cu high strength alloy using the beneficial effects of the alloying addition of chromium to develop good stress-corrosion cracking resistance in sheet products. Although other 7XXX alloys have since been developed, 7075 aluminum alloy plate remains the baseline with a good balance of properties required for aerospace applications and excellent machinability.

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.
7075 is one of the highest strength aluminum alloys available. Its strength-to-weight ratio is excellent, and is ideally used for highly stressed parts. It can be formed in the annealed condition and subsequently heat treated. 7075 is comparatively tough for an aluminum alloy. As such, it produces greater springback during forming operations. If forming difficulty is encountered in the annealed condition, then warming the material to 200°-250°F will assist formability. 7075 alloy is capable of high-strength as developed by heat treating. It also has excellent properties at low temperatures. Its electrical conductivity is 36% of copper.
