Aluminium 7075 | Product Overview
Introduction To Aluminium 7075
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a manufacturer, supplier, exporter, importer, and stockist of Aluminium Alloy 7075 products such as plates, sheets, bars, rods, forgings, and extrusions.
Aluminium 7075 is a high-strength alloy primarily composed of zinc as the main alloying element, along with magnesium and copper. It is well-known for its excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, toughness, and good fatigue resistance, making it suitable for demanding aerospace, defense, and structural applications. While it has lower corrosion resistance compared to other 6000 series alloys, it performs well in properly treated and coated conditions.

FAQ's
What is Aluminium Alloy 7075 used for?
Aluminium 7075 is mainly used in aerospace, defense, automotive, and sports equipment industries due to its exceptional strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. Common applications include aircraft structures, firearm components, racing car parts, and high performance bicycle frames.
What are the key properties of Aluminium 7075?
Aluminium 7075 is a zinc-based alloy with excellent mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and machinability. It has tensile strength up to 572 MPa, making it one of the strongest aluminium alloys. However, it has lower corrosion resistance compared to 6000 series alloys but performs well when anodized or surface treated.
Is Aluminium 7075 stronger than Aluminium 6061?
Yes. Aluminium 7075 is significantly stronger than 6061 due to its higher zinc and magnesium content. While 6061 is preferred for general purpose use with better corrosion resistance, 7075 is chosen for aerospace and defense applications where maximum strength is required.
Can Aluminium 7075 be welded or machined easily?
Aluminium 7075 has excellent machinability and can be used for precision engineered parts. However, it is not easily weldable compared to 6000 series alloys. Special techniques are required if welding is necessary, but for most cases, it is used in machined and forged forms.
