Aluminium 7075 Plates

Aluminium 7075 plates are high strength plates that are used widely in various industries due to the good mechanical properties it possesses. It is used where high strength and low density and resistance to corrosion are required. 

Chemical Composition Of Aluminium 7075 Plates

The chemical composition table gives important information on the chemical analysis of Aluminium 7075 plates. 

Therefore, this table aids in comprehending the materials employed in these plates and makes proper recommendations on their applicability to different industrial applications. 

Mechanical Properties Of 7075 Aluminimun Plates 

The following table is useful in providing a reference point on the performance characteristics of Aluminium 7075  plates. 

Consequently, it is possible to evaluate the plates' strength and its ability to withstand the conditions characteristic of various industries. 

Characteristics of Aluminium 7075 Plates 

Aluminium 7075 plates are distinguished by several key features that make them highly desirable for a range of applications:

• High Strength: Aluminium 7075 plates are considered some of the highest strength aluminium alloys that can be used. They have good mechanical properties including tensile strength and yield strength. 
• Lightweight: Aluminium 7075 plates are relatively strong and they are light which is an advantage in most applications where weight is a factor. 
• Corrosion Resistance: The aluminium 7075 plates contain zinc and magnesium that increases the corrosion resistance of the material. 
• Toughness: Aluminium 7075 plates are comparatively hard and fatigued resistant. Therefore, it can withstand cyclic stress and does not fail. 
• Machinability: Aluminium 7075 plates can be easily machined as compared to other materials of the same category. This makes it possible to scribe or engrave fine designs and component pieces in manufactured articles. 
• Heat Treatable: Aluminium 7075 plates are of heat treatable type and thus, their mechanics can be upgraded with heat treatments such as annealing, solution heat treatment and ageing. 
• Weldability: Aluminium 7075 plates are relatively less weldable as compared to other aluminium plates. They can be welded using such methods as the arc and resistance welding. 

Therefore, Aluminium 7075 plates are demanded in the industrial and commercial applications, which makes them suitable for many industries.
