7075-T6 Aluminum
7075-T6 aluminum is 7075 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 7075-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.
