7075/7475/7050/7B50/7A55 Aerospace Grade Aluminium Plate Sheet For Aircraft
The 7xxx system alloy is an aluminum alloy with Zn as the main alloy element, which is a heat treatment to strengthen the aluminum alloy. The alloy is Mg, Al-Zn-Mg alloy, offering good thermal deformation and a wide quenching range. It achieves high strength under appropriate conditions and maintains good welding performance and corrosion resistance. It is an ideal high-strength weldable aluminum alloy.
Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys are developed by adding Cu to the Al-Zn-Mg base. Known as ultra-high strength aluminum alloys, their yield strength is close to their tensile strength. While they offer a very high strength ratio and easy processing, they are best utilized for load-bearing structures at temperatures below 120ºC.
The 7xxx series includes sheet metal, aluminum plate, medium plate, heavy plate, forgings, and extruded parts. Specifically, 7175 is a special forged alloy, while 7475 is primarily used for thin and thick plates, offering the best damage tolerance in the 7075 series.
