Aluminum 7475 offers strength and fracture toughness while resisting fatigue crack propagation. It’s an ideal aircraft alloy appropriate for fuselage skins, bulkheads, and wing parts for commercial, fighter, and transport airplanes.
This alloy is typically available in flat-rolled prodsucts, and it is widely used for applications that require high strength, including airframe and other aerospace assemblies. 7050 Aluminum alloys have high electrical conductivity and strong corrosion-resistance characteristics and are generally good at low-temperatures. They gain strength when exposed to subzero temperatures and lose strength when exposed to high temperatures.
