7068 Aluminium Bar
Offering the strength of steel.
Designed as a higher strength alternative to 7075 alloy, 7068 aluminium is one of the highest strength aluminiums available today.
With 30% greater strength than 7075, the alloy utilises zinc as a main alloying element. With good ductility and good machinability, the material offers engineers and designers greater flexibility to increase the strength of critical components without increasing weight. 7068 aluminium offers good dimensional stability.
Stock Availability
Smiths Advanced Metals stocks 7068 aluminium bars in various shapes, sizes and tempers (including F, T6, T651 and T6511 tempers).
Processing
We offer comprehensive billeting services using a range of modern processing equipment. Bars are cut to tight tolerances which often negates the need for further cutting which may save our customers time and money.
