The difference between 7075 and 6061 aluminum alloy

        7075 aluminum alloy plate is a cold-violent cast aluminum alloy with high compressive strength and high strength, far exceeding that of mild steel. 7075 aluminum alloy plate is one of the commercial super-strength aluminum alloys, with general corrosion resistance, excellent physical properties and anodizing reflection. The fine crystals promote better deep drilling characteristics, improved wear resistance of special tools, more and different external thread rolling, and preferred metal composite materials with relatively high density and higher strength requirements.

Wuxi Hengtai Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2001. It is an enterprise specializing in the processing and distribution of high-end aluminum alloy plates. Relying on more than ten years of industry accumulation and rigorous management system, it has won a good market reputation.

Next, I will show you the difference between 7075 and 6061 aluminum alloy:

1. The composition is not the same: 7000 series products are based on zinc as the key aluminum alloy, and the composition is 6%. The key to 6000 series products is magnesium and silicon, the key aluminum alloy, the total composition is relatively low.

2. The compressive strength is different: 7005 is stronger in terms of compressive strength, not inferior to steel, but only slightly stronger. Yieldstrength (the amplitude of permanent bending and deformation of aluminum profiles) is only slightly stronger than 6061.

3. The price is different: 7075 is a light and high compressive strength aluminum profile, the price is also very expensive! 6061 is a wide range of aluminum profiles, light, good compressive strength, and economical.

4. The applicability is different: 7005 contains a high proportion of other metal materials, so electric welding is more difficult to solve, especially 7075 (the latter two numbers mean the proportion of aluminum alloy), which has a higher proportion, so generally It cannot be used as a raw material for window frames. Because 6061 contains a relatively low proportion of other metal materials, it can improve its compressive strength and reduce its air resistance according to various solutions according to the special shape, and even can guarantee 3 times to draw the pipe to reduce the net weight. On the whole, 6061 is a good raw material.
