Description of Aluminium 7050 Die Forgings
Aluminum 7050 is a heat treatable alloy that has very high mechanical properties and high fracture toughness. Popular with the aerospace industry, Aluminum 7050 offers good stress and corrosion cracking resistance and high strength at subzero temperatures.
Aluminium alloy 7050 is an aerospace grade of aluminium combining high strength, stress corrosion cracking resistance and toughness. It is particularly suited for heavy plate applications (3" to 6" thick) due to it's lower quench sensitivity and retention of strength in thicker sections. Aluminium 7050 therefore is the premium choice aerospace aluminium for applications such as fuselage frames, bulkheads and wing skins.

Feature and Application of Aluminium 7050 Die Forgings
The applications that commonly use 7050 aluminum alloy include bulkheads and fuselage frames that require sections to be between two and six inches thick. Another common application is for wing skins. 7050 Aluminum doesn’t have a good cold workability, but can instead be machined. It has good anodizing response as well. It is not recommended to use welding methods for joining, such as brazing, gas shielded arc welding, or coated metal arc welding.
Applications for Aluminum 7050 mostly revolve around the aerospace industry, these include:
Fuselage frames
Bulkheads
Wing skins
Various aircraft parts
