Aluminum alloy 7050 is a high-strength material renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties and toughness. It is primarily composed of aluminum with small additions of copper, magnesium, and zinc, which contribute to its enhanced strength. This alloy is often used in applications that require high strength-to-weight ratio, such as aerospace components, structural parts for aircraft and missiles, and high-performance sporting equipment. 7050 Aluminum Alloy offers excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking and has good machinability despite its high strength. Due to its outstanding combination of properties, it remains a favored choice for critical applications where strength and reliability are paramount.

Characteristics

Very high strength in thick sections, good corrosion resistance and toughness.
