7075 Aluminum Pipe

7075 Aluminum Pipe – Technical Details and Applications

7075 aluminum pipe is a zinc-alloyed product widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. With a tensile strength of up to 572 MPa and excellent machinability, it is a preferred material for structural components subjected to high-stress environments. For example, the T6 temper of 7075 aluminum is commonly used in aircraft frames and high-altitude flight components, where weight reduction is critical. Compared to 6061 aluminum, which is more cost-effective but offers lower strength, 7075 is priced higher due to its enhanced performance in demanding applications.
