What is 7005-T6 Aluminum?

7005-T6 aluminum is 7005 aluminum in the T6 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is solution heat-treated and artificially aged until it meets standard mechanical property requirements. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare 7005-T6 aluminum to: 7000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it’s 50% of the highest, and so on.

7005 aluminum sheet, is often used for manufacturing welded structures which not only have high strength but also high fracture toughness such as truss, rod/bar and the container in transportation vehicles; large-sized heat exchangers, some parts which cannot been performed solid fusion processing after welding; and also manufacturing of sports equipment for tennis rackets and baseball bats.

7005 aluminum plate sheet belongs to the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu super hard aluminum, good welding performance, heat treatment can be strengthened, the strength is less than 6061, but it is lighter as a typical lightweight aluminum. 7005 Aluminum Alloy plate sheet often used in making welded structure have both high strength and high fracture toughness, such as transport vehicles, truss rod, container; large heat exchanger, and after welding can not be solid melt processing components; also can be used in the manufacture of sports equipment such as tennis racket and baseball bat.
