Louis Metals produces and distributes Aluminium 7050 Bars and Rods in Houston, USA, with high-strength, corrosion-resistance material for aerospace and structural use. The 7050 alloy is highly regarded for its toughness, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and strength, and is widely sought after for critical aircraft components and aerospace structures. The rods are produced in different tempers and sizes, designed for advanced machining and heavy load operations, all of which meet ASTM and international standards.
Aluminium 7050 is an aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy with high strength and stress corrosion cracking resistance. It has a tensile strength of around 510–570 MPa and yield strength of around 440–500 MPa, depending on the temper. The alloy has the ability to retain strength in heavy cross-sections and has better corrosion resistance than 7075 and is thus used in aerospace-quality forgings and highly loaded structural components. Its heat treatability and resilience under harsh environments guarantee long-lasting performance.
