7 Series Alu Forgings

7A04 alloy is a heat-treated strengthening alloy of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system. Its strength is higher than that of hard aluminium. Its yield strength is close to tensile strength and its plasticity is lower. Its sensitivity to stress concentration is strong, especially under the condition of vibration load and repeated static load. Therefore, the design, manufacturing and assembly of parts need to strictly avoid stress concentration and additional stress factors. The heat resistance of the alloy is poor, and it will soften sharply when the temperature is higher than 125 C. The stress corrosion resistance of thick parts in short and transverse direction is poor.
 
7A04 aluminum forgings forged product parts is widely used in the main stress parts of aircraft structure, such as girder, truss, partition frame, skin, wing rib, joint, landing gear parts, etc. It can produce various semi-finished products, such as sheets, strips, profiles, bars, wallboards, pipes, wires, free forgings and die forgings.

7049 aluminium forgings forged product parts are generally used to manufacture parts with the same static strength as 7079-T6 alloy and high stress corrosion cracking resistance, such as landing gear box, hydraulic cylinder and extrusion parts of aircraft and missile parts. The fatigue property of the parts is approximately the same as that of 7075 T6 alloy, but the willfulness is slightly higher.
The general states of 7049 aluminium forgings forged product parts are F, T6, T652, T73 and T7352.
On the basis of 7001 alloy, the content of alloying elements Cu and Cr is reduced, the ratio of Zn/Mg is increased, and the content of impurities Fe and Si is reduced. It is mainly used to produce forgings and backlogs in T73 state, as well as thick and thin plates. The stress corrosion crack growth rate of 7075 T6 alloy is much lower than that of 7075 T651 alloy.

7050 is a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy, which can be strengthened by heat treatment. On the basis of 7075 superhard aluminium alloy, the chemical composition of the alloy was adjusted, the content of zinc and copper was increased, the grain was refined by zirconium instead of chromium, and the content of impurities such as silicon and iron was reduced. Due to the optimization of chemical composition and the over-aging treatment, the aluminium alloy has high fatigue limit, good toughness, good stress corrosion resistance and good hardenability while maintaining high strength. Its hot working performance is similar to 7075 alloy. It has general weldability and good cutting property.
 
77050 is mainly used for high strength, good fracture toughness, and high stress corrosion cracking resistance and spalling corrosion of the main bearing structural parts, such as aircraft structure with thick plates, extrusions, free forgings and die forgings, such as aircraft structure with thick plates, extrusions, free forgings and die forgings, including fuselage frames, partitions, wing beams, landing gear support parts and rivets. Because the alloy has good hardenability, it is especially suitable for manufacturing large thick section parts. The supply state of the aluminum alloy includes T74, T76 and T73. T74 should be selected for structural parts requiring high strength and stress corrosion cracking resistance; T76 should be generally used for structural parts requiring high strength and anti-spalling corrosion; and T73 is mainly used for rivet materials requiring high strength and good corrosion resistance.
 

The Brinell hardness of 7050 aluminium alloy forging in T74 state is 158HBW.
7150 T77 aluminium forging forged product parts are an improved 7050 Alloy with high strength and good corrosion resistance. The fatigue resistance of 7150 T651 is 10%-15% higher than that of 7075, and the fracture toughness is 10% higher. The SCC resistance of 7150 T651 is similar to that of 7075. Mainly used in large passenger aircraft upper wing structure, body plate girder flange, upper outer panel main wing longitudinal beam, fuselage reinforcement, keel beam, seat guide rail.
 
Reduce heat treatment stress and avoid quenching deformation.
After solution treatment, the free forgings should be pre-compressed before artificial aging, and the permanent deformation is 1.5%-5.0%, so as to eliminate the internal stress.
The formability of the alloy is similar to that of 7075 aluminium alloy. If the initial forging temperature is too high, hot forging is easy to occur, which is disadvantageous to the hammer forging process.

7175 improves the purity of 7075 alloy. It is mainly used as die forgings. It has three heat treatment states: T66, T74 and T7452. Among them, the static strength of T66 forging is higher than that of 7075 T6 forging, while fatigue, crack resistance and stress corrosion resistance are equivalent. The static strength of T74 die forging and free forging is similar to that of 7075 T6 forging, and the stress corrosion resistance balance is between 7075 T73 and 7075 T76, while the toughness and fatigue properties are comparable to or even better than 7075 T73 forging. The stress corrosion resistance of T74 state is obviously higher than that of 7075 T6 state, approaching 7075 T73 state.
 
7175 alloy is specially used to produce forgings and rolling rings. The material state is T74. The characteristics of 7175 T74 aluminium alloy forgings are that special processing and heat treatment processes are adopted to make the strength close to 7075 T6 alloy forgings and the stress corrosion resistance close to 7075 T73 forgings in the best corrosion state. The reduction of Fe and Si rolling can not only improve the forging properties of the alloy, but also significantly improve the stress corrosion resistance and fracture toughness of the forgings.
