Aluminum Alloys 7000 Series

7000 series - Zinc is the major alloying element in this group, and when coupled with a smaller percentage of magnesium results in heat-treatable alloys of very high strength. Usually other elements such as copper and chromium are also added in small quantities. Outstanding member of this group is 7075, which is among the highest strength alloys available and is used in air-frame structures and for highly stressed parts.

(1) Composition in percent maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum.

(2) For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained
from analysis is rounded off to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the
specified limit, in accordance with AN Standard Rules for Rounding Off Numerical Values (ANSI Z25.1).

(3) Analysis is regularly made only for the elements for which specific limits are shown, except for unalloyed aluminum. If, however, the presence of other elements is suspected to be, or in the course of routine analysis is indicated to be in excess of the specified limits, further analysis is made to determine that these other elements
are not in excess of the amount specified.

(4) The aluminum content for unalloyed aluminum not made by a refining process is the difference between
100.00 percent and the sum of all other metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 percent or more each,
expressed to the second decimal.

(22) Zinconium plus titanium 0.25 percent maximum.
