Aluminium 7075 Screw

Characteristics  Aluminium 7075 screws

Aluminium 7075 screws have the following characteristics that make them ideal for use in applications that require high standards. Here are the key features

• High Strength: Aluminium 7075 is a strong material with tensile strength equal to some steel grades. This makes 7075 screws suitable for use in areas where high strength and durability of the screws are required. 
• Lightweight: Aluminium screws are much lighter, and this has its advantages in areas where weight is of the essence. 
• Corrosion Resistance: 7075 aluminium is not as corrosion resistant as some other types of aluminium, but it can be protected with a coating or anodising. 
• Excellent Machinability: 7075 aluminium is easy to machine, and this makes it possible to produce screws with good surface finishes. 
• Fatigue Resistance: Aluminium 7075 screws also have good fatigue strength, which is desirable in applications that are likely to experience cyclic loading or vibration. 
• High Thermal Conductivity: Aluminium 7075 also has a relatively high thermal conductivity, which may be useful in cases where heat dissipation is crucial. 
• Anodizing Capability: 7075 aluminium can be anodised to improve its surface characteristics, such as corrosion resistance, and to give it different colours for decorative purposes. 
• Tensile and Yield Strength: Due to its high tensile and yield strength, Aluminium 7075 screws can be used in structural applications where high stress is experienced. 
• Cost: Aluminium 7075 is usually more expensive than other aluminium alloys because of its high strength and performance. 

These features make Aluminium 7075 screws particularly useful in high-performance applications where strength, weight and durability are paramount. 

Uses of aluminium 7075 screw

Aluminium 7075 screws are applied where high strength, low weight and high durability are required for the application. Some common applications include: 

• Aerospace Industry: 7075 screws are used in aircraft and spacecraft parts. They are employed in structural members, landing gear and in other places.
• Automotive Industry: In high-performance and racing vehicles, 7075 screws are used in engine parts, suspension systems and other parts where reduction of weight is likely to improve performance. 
• Military and Defense: The high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion of 7075 aluminium make it ideal for military equipment such as firearms and vehicles. 
• Marine Applications: 7075 aluminium screws are used in marine applications, are employed in boat accessories and equipment and may be further treated or coated. 
• Sports Equipment: In bicycles, ski equipment, and golf clubs, 7075 screws are used since they are strong, light and can withstand the stresses that come with performance. 
• Industrial Machinery: 7075 screws are applied in different kinds of industrial machines and equipment that demand high strength and wear resistance. 
• Tooling and Fixtures: Some of the precision tooling and fixtures that need strong, lightweight fasteners employ 7075 aluminium screws since they are strong and easy to machine. 

Aluminium 7075 screws are used where performance requirements include high strength, low weight and high durability for high-technology industries and specialised commercial applications.
