7075 (AMS4078)

Our 7075 aluminium plate gives designers the ability to reduce weight while retaining strength. The alloy offers an impressive strength to weight ratio.

---

7075 aluminium plate offers superior strength to weight ratios when compared to steel. The alloy is often called an 'aerospace grade' and is used extensively in aircraft construction. We offer stock availability of 7075 aluminium plates in an extensive range of sizes and tempers (including T4511 and T6511 tempers). With superior strength and stress corrosion resistance, the alloy is easily formed with reasonable machinability. Traditional welding of 7075 aluminium plate is not advisable, although resistance welding is possible. We stock 7075 aluminium plates in a broad range of sizes and include T7351, T6 and T651 tempers.

Processing Options

We process 7075 aluminium plates in-house. We stock aluminium products in closer incremental sizes resulting in products which may not require further machining since they match your exact requirements.

Corrosion Resistance

The corrosion resistance of 7075 aluminium plate is not as good compared to other aluminium alloys due to the 1.2% copper content, making the alloy more susceptible in caustic environments. However, the inclusion of copper in the alloying process results in one of the strongest aluminium alloys available.
