7079 aluminium alloy

7079 aluminium alloy (UNS designation A97079) is a high strength, heat treatable wrought aluminium alloy used in the aircraft industry. Age-hardening heat treatment enhances the characteristics of AL 7079, eliminating variations in characteristics seen in Aluminium 7075.[1]

Chemical composition

Element Zn Mg Cu Fe Si Mn Cr Ti Remainder (each) Remainder (total) Al [2]
minimum 3.8 2.9 .4 0.00 0.00 .1 .1 0.00 0.00 0.00 Remainder

Heat treatment for aluminium 7079

  1. Solution treatment
  2. Aging treatment
  3. Annealing treatment

[3]

Machinability

  1. Alloy-temper 7079-T6 provides qualities comparable to alloy-temper 7075-T6
  2. -F temper condition provides acceptable results
  3. Improved machinability compared to fabricated and annealed tempers

[3]

Workability

  1. Can be formed similar to 7075
  2. Annealing provides superior formability and noticeable decline in workability following solution heat treatment
  3. Form in “as-quenched” -W temper condition for best results

[3]

Applications

  1. Mobile industry equipment
  2. Aircraft parts, including wing panels and bulkhead assemblies
  3. Hydraulic units
  4. Highly stressed parts
