7000 Series Aluminum alloy

7000 series aluminum mainly contains zinc element, which has the highest strength in aluminum alloy and is also an aviation aluminum alloy like the 2000 series aluminum.

7000 series aluminum is a high-strength and high-hardness type of aluminum alloy that is widely used in the aviation, automobile, railway, shipbuilding, and other industries due to its excellent mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. Its ultra-hardness makes it ideal for manufacturing high-demand, high-strength, and lightweight products.

However, the cost of 7000 series aluminum is higher and its weldability is poor, so it requires careful consideration in its application. The main alloys in this series include 7075, 7050, 7049, 7022, and 7003.
