Alloys:
 
EN AW-7075 / ISO: Al Zn5,5MgCu
Composition: Al 5.6Zn 2.5Mg 1.6Cu Cr
Applications: Aircraft and military highly stressed structural components. Rolling stock for machine parts and tools (for rubber and plastics). Ski poles, tennis rackets, screws and bolts, nuts. Rivets. Nuclear applications.
Characteristic Properties: Heat treatable very high strength alloy with a strength slightly lower than 7010. Very high fatigue strength. Joining preferably by rivets, adhesives or screws. Corrosion protection is recommended also in outdoor atmosphere.
Precautions and Warnings: Care to be taken when selecting temper (and other thermal treatment) for balance of properties. May be clad with 7072 for better protection against stress corrosion cracking.
