7075 aluminum alloy is a high-strength aluminum alloy, which is usually used in applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance. It contains zinc as the main alloying element, and also contains small amounts of magnesium, copper, chromium and other elements. 7075 aluminum alloy is characterized by high strength, good corrosion resistance, poor machinability (compared to other aluminum alloys), and good toughness. Due to these characteristics, 7075 aluminum bars are widely used in the following fields:
1. Aerospace
7075 aluminum alloy is an important material in the aerospace field, and is often used to manufacture aircraft structural parts, aircraft parts, aircraft wing frames, doors and other parts. It can provide high strength while maintaining low weight, and is an ideal material for aircraft fuselages and aircraft structural parts.
2. Military applications
Due to its high strength and corrosion resistance, 7075 aluminum alloy is often used in the military field, such as making military equipment, weapon systems, military aircraft, ship structural parts, etc. It can also be used to manufacture high-strength firearms, rifle barrels, ammunition, etc.
3. Bicycles and sports equipment
7075 aluminum alloy has high strength, so it is widely used in high-end bicycle frames, wheels, crankshafts and other parts. In addition, it is also commonly used in high-strength sports equipment such as ski equipment and golf clubs.
4. High-strength mechanical parts
7075 aluminum alloy is often used to manufacture some mechanical parts that require high strength and light weight, such as structural parts of ships, certain parts of vehicles (especially parts of lightweight racing cars), and other industrial equipment parts that require strong load capacity.
5. Mold and tool manufacturing
Due to its good strength and corrosion resistance, 7075 aluminum alloy is also used to manufacture precision molds, tool accessories, medical equipment and structural parts of various mechanical tools.
6. Automobile industry
In automobile manufacturing, 7075 aluminum alloy is often used for lightweight design, especially in the field of racing, luxury cars and high-performance cars. For example, frames, engine parts, wheels, drive shafts, etc.
