Description
Description:
The 7075T6 (T6511) round bar is a high-strength aluminum alloy, known for its exceptional stress resistance and durability. Commonly used in aerospace and defense applications, this alloy offers a combination of light weight and mechanical strength that is essential for high-stress and precision-required operations.
We use this material/size internally to produce control arms for race cars.
Features:
- Composition: Aluminum alloyed with zinc, magnesium, and copper.
- Temper: T6 (Solution heat-treated and artificially aged).
- Mechanical Strength: Recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio.
- Surface: Smooth Mill finish
- Corrosion Resistance: Offers good resistance, especially with an anodized finish.
- Machinability: While more challenging to machine than some other aluminum alloys, it is feasible with the right equipment and techniques.
- Weldability: Welding is very limited with 7075T6; other joining techniques are often preferred.
Applications:
- Aerospace components
- Defense mechanisms and parts
- High-performance racing applications
- Structural elements requiring high strength
- Gears and shafts
Specifications:
- Length: Sold in length increments of 100mm
