    Aluminum alloys 6061 and 7075 are commonly used industrial materials. While both are suitable for machining, 6061 is a magnesium-silicon alloy known for its versatility and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for smaller aircraft, boats, and packaging. 7075 is a stronger zinc-magnesium alloy used for applications requiring high strength, such as aircraft, sports equipment, and industrial tools. The document provides a comparison of the properties and applications of the two alloys to help determine which is best suited for different manufacturing needs.

    Aluminum

    REFERENCE SHEET FOR

    Lightweight, strong, durable, and widely available, Its many different alloys offer a range of properties.
    it’s perfect for a range of industrial and commercial Some are better suited to heat-treatment, while others
    applications: from aircraft to iPhones. are designed for welding, forming, and machining.

    Plethora stocks two aluminum alloys – grades 6061 and 7075. While both ideal
    for machining, when should you choose one over another?

    Let’s take a closer look at what they have to offer.

    6061 7075

    A magnesium and silicon-based aluminum alloy. A zinc alloy with a small amount of magnesium. 

    Renowned for its use as a structural material. Higher strength-to-weight ratio than 6061. 

    A good all-rounder in terms of heat treatability, Able to match steel in terms of strength.
    weldability, and forming.
    Decent corrosion resistance.
    Excellent corrosion resistance – surpasses 7075.
    High machinability with a low weight – though
    Typically found in food and drink packaging. heavier than 6061.

    Commonly used in smaller aircraft and boats; as Used to make everything from aircraft and
    well as in aluminum bars and rods.  sports equipment to industrial tools.

    Versatility is its best quality – though not as Low density with good thermal properties.
    strong as 7075.
    Produces a smooth material finish.
    Great for secondary operations: welding or
    anodizing.

    Need a cost-effective, medium-strength Keen to build strong, high-quality,


    alloy that’s easy to work with? Building larger products and prototypes? The
    a working prototype in a short timeframe? kind that are as good-looking as they
    Then 6061 is ideal. are sturdy? 7075 is your go-to alloy.
