At GNEE, we maintain long-term partnerships with reputable mills known for their consistent quality and reliable production standards, ensuring that customers receive aluminum products of exceptional performance.
By holding our upstream suppliers to the same strict quality control standards that we apply internally, GNEE is able to deliver high-quality 7075-T651 aluminum plate products that meet demanding technical and industrial requirements.
7075 Properties & Availability
7075 aluminum is a zinc-based alloy that offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel. It is available in multiple tempers, including 7075-T651, 7075-T7351, and 7075-O, with each temper exhibiting distinct mechanical and performance characteristics.
GNEE stocks 7075-T651 aluminum plate in thicknesses starting from 0.25 inches up to 8.0 inches. The T651 temper indicates that the material has been solution heat-treated, artificially aged, and stress-relieved by stretching, resulting in improved mechanical stability and dimensional consistency.
Industry Applications
The 7000 series aluminum alloys are suitable for a wide range of demanding applications. Thanks to its lightweight nature and excellent toughness, 7075 aluminum is highly valued by manufacturers and end users alike. As a high-strength and machinable alloy, it is widely used in the automotive, aircraft, and aerospace industries.
Common applications include highly stressed components such as gears, fuse parts, structural elements, and bows. GNEE supplies premium-quality 7075-T651 aluminum to support these critical applications.
Machining and Welding Characteristics
7075 aluminum alloy offers good machinability and is relatively easy to process using standard machining methods. However, general fusion welding is not recommended for this alloy. Acceptable results may be achieved using resistance welding techniques, while arc or gas welding can negatively affect the alloy's natural corrosion resistance.
