Aluminum 7175

Principal Design Features

7175 is a high strength, heat treatable, forging alloy. It has an excellent combination of toughness and strength, similar to 7075 alloy except that the 7175 version has superior toughness and tensile strength.

Applications

Typical applications include machined fittings as used in the aircraft industry.

Machinability

The alloy is machinable. However no specific comments are available. Consult the supplier.

Forming

This is basically a forging alloy and thus is formed by die or hand forging.

Welding

No information available. Consult the alloy supplier.

Heat Treatment

The alloy is heat treatable. Consult the supplier for details.

Forging

This is basically a forging alloy. For data on forging temperature range consult the alloy supplier.

Hot Working

Hot working, as with forging, may be done with this alloy. Consult the supplier for details.

Cold Working

Cold working may be done by conventional methods, again allowing generous bend radii as with 7075 alloy.

Annealing

No data available. Consult the alloy supplier.

Aging

This is an age hardenable alloy. Consult the supplier for aging treatment details.

Tempering

Not applicable.

Hardening

Hardens by means of heat treatment or by cold work.
