ALPLAN® 7075

finally milled on both sides –
for extremly precesion

High-strength precision rolled plate

Alloy: 7075 (AlZn5,5MgCu)

Type of alloy: heat treatable

Temper: T651

Surface:two surfaces precision milled, roughness Ra 0.4 µm, foiled on both sides

  • very high strength
  • narrow tolerances of thickness and flatness
  • very good machinability
  • very good hardness
  • two sides precision machined surface

In certain applications, the use of higher-strength cast plates is not sufficient; high-strength rolled plates must be used. However, the problem with rolled plates is the wide toleration of thickness and flatness, which results in extremely complex processing. Precision rolled plate ALPLAN® 7075 from alloy 7075 (AlZn5.5MgCu), finely milled on both sides and covered with protective foil, provides users with a semi-finished product which drastically reduces the time required for machining.

Packaging and printing industry

Base and support plates that are exposed to high stress due to structural or functional reasons are one of the many fields of application of ALPLAN® 7075.

Automation technology

In automation, for example rotary indexing tables, can often be economically produced from this semi-finished product due to the uniform flatness of ALPLAN® 7075.

Expert tip 

If components show a very high degree of machining and they must be highly accurate, there can be a problem with warping when using rolled plates. This risk can be minimised if the processed component is subjected to stress relief annealing after the roughing operation at 140 ° C for 2 hours and only then is finished.
