Aluminum 7075 Fasteners

Aluminum 7075 fasteners are most commonly used for their combination of high strength and low weight. Alloyed primarily with zinc, they exhibit strength that is comparable to many grades of steel at a fraction of the density. Aluminum 7075 can be tempered to several different conditions (including 7075-T6) which offers different levels of strength. Commonly used for high-stress aircraft parts, Aluminum 7075 bolts offer good fatigue resistance and toughness.
Compared to aluminum alloy 2024, 7075 bolts are typically used in applications where high strength and low weight are critical, whereas 2024 is more suited for cyclic fatigue. When weighing their attributes against 6061 which is structural aluminum, 6061 offers better corrosion resistance and machinability, but does not have the same high strength as aluminum 7075 fasteners.
