Description
Aluminum Alloy 7075 General Description:
What is Aluminum 7075?
Aluminum 7075 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has moderated formability when in the fully soft, annealed temper and can be heat-treated to strength levels that are comparable to many steel alloys.
Chemical Composition Limits:
Compositions are listed as weight percent. Limits are given as a maximum unless indicated as a range.

| Alloy-Temper | Tensile Strength (ksi) | Yield Strength (ksi) | Elongation (%) |
| 7075-O | 40 max | 21 max | 10 |
| 7075-T6 | 78 min | 68 min | 9 |
| 7075-T651 | 72 min | 61 min | 5 |
| 7075-T7351 | 64 min | 49 min | 6 |
United Aluminum can supply 7075 in the annealed temper for maximum formability. The formed parts can be subsequently heat treated to higher strength.
