What will affect the cutting of aluminum alloy slugs？

1.Cutting process: Choosing the appropriate cutting process is crucial for obtaining high-quality aluminum plate cutting. Common cutting techniques include mechanical cutting, laser cutting, and plasma cutting. Each cutting process has its advantages and limitations. For example, laser cutting has high precision and a small heat affected zone, but may result in higher cutting costs.

2. Cutting speed: Cutting speed refers to the speed at which the cutting tool or cutting equipment moves during the cutting process. Cutting speeds that are too fast or too slow can affect cutting quality. If the cutting speed is too fast, it may cause burrs, slag residue, or uneven cutting lines on the cutting edge. On the contrary, a slow cutting speed may result in excessive heat generation during the cutting process, causing deformation of the aluminum plate or welding slag on the cutting line.

3.Material characteristics: The hardness, thickness, purity, and surface condition of aluminum plates can also affect cutting quality. Aluminum plates with higher hardness may require stronger cutting equipment and more wear-resistant cutting tools. Thicker aluminum plates may require more powerful cutting equipment to ensure cutting efficiency. Meanwhile, the flatness and smoothness of the surface state can also affect the accuracy and quality of cutting,

What is 7000 series aluminum alloy？

7xxx aluminum alloy

The main alloying element of Class 7 aluminum alloys is zinc, usually with a certain amount of copper and magnesium.

Due to the use of zinc, this type of alloy is the strongest among all forged alloys, and its strength can even exceed that of some steels.

That's why Class 7 alloys are commonly used in the aircraft industry. Although the addition of zinc can also reduce its processability, its excellent strength compensates for these drawbacks.

For example, 7075 aluminum alloy is an ideal choice for high stress parts due to its excellent weight to strength ratio. And it can be processed by molding, heat treatment and other operations as needed.

7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy Plate Mechanical Properties Standard：

What is 7075 T651 aluminum Sheet？

7075-T651 is known as the best product among aluminum alloys. T651 indicates that this alloy has undergone heat treatment and pre stretching processes. T6 and T651 alloys have a tensile strength of 572 MPa and a yield strength of 503 MPa. Meanwhile, 7075 alloy has excellent mechanical properties and anodizing performance. The American ASTM.

Standards Association evaluates 7075 alloy as having Class B mechanical properties due to its ability to produce curled or easily breakable chips and excellent surface treatment.

What are the applications of 7075 aluminum alloy?

When weight is a critical factor but strength cannot be compromised, the 7075 T651 aluminum plate is a widely favored alternative to steel. Alloy 7075 boasts an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, far superior to that of steel, making it a popular choice across multiple industries. With a strength-to-weight ratio of 196 kN-m/kg, 7075 combines high strength and light weight, ideal for demanding sectors such as aviation, automotive, and firearms manufacturing.

Originally developed in 1936, 7075 was introduced as a solution to enhance aircraft fuel efficiency by reducing weight while maintaining the structural integrity required for complex maneuvers. Although it doesn't offer the same level of corrosion resistance as alloy 6061, its outstanding performance in high-stress environments, thanks to zinc being its primary alloying element, has cemented its role in the aerospace industry.

Beyond aviation, 7075 is also heavily utilized in the automotive industry for similar reasons, offering both durability and weight savings. Its strength has also made it a key material in the firearms industry, with the alloy featured in the construction of weapons like the M16, AR-15, and various handguns.

As a member of the 7000 aluminum series, 7075 is now integral to countless products in a variety of applications where high strength and reduced weight are essential.

1.Is 7075 aluminum stronger than steel?

The strength of 7075 aluminum alloy can indeed approach or even exceed that of certain steels. 7075 aluminum alloy is a cold treated forged alloy with a tensile strength of 524MPa and a yield strength of 455MPa. These indicators show that its strength is very high, especially after heat treatment, its strength characteristics can be further improved.

Although 7075 aluminum alloy has high strength, there is still a certain gap compared to steel. The tensile strength of ordinary carbon steel is usually between 270-785 MPa, while the tensile strength of high-strength steel can reach 1000 MPa or even higher. Therefore, although 7075 aluminum alloy can be comparable to high-strength steel in some cases, overall it is still not as strong as some specially made steels.

2.7075 t651 Aluminum vs 7075-t7351 Aluminum

T651 is first subjected to solution treatment followed by artificial aging, and then subjected to tensile treatment to eliminate residual stress after solution treatment;

T7351 is subjected to graded aging after solution treatment, and is subjected to tensile treatment to eliminate residual stress after solution treatment. Its strength is lower than T651 and its corrosion resistance is significantly improved.
