Aluminum 7010 Sheet, Bar and Plate

Aluminum 7010 Sheet is hardened by an aging heat treatment or by controlled cold working from the solution annealed condition. Welding heat input affects the corrosion resistance of Aluminum 7010 Sheet in an adverse manner. Aluminum 7010 Sheet heat treatment is done at 1000 F followed by a cold water quench. Hot forging may be done providing the finished product is given the aging heat treatment to restore corrosion resistance. Aluminum 7010 Sheet may be readily formed by conventional methods. Thus any welding should be followed by a repeat heat treatment to restore corrosion resistance.

Aluminum 7010 Bar

The machining characteristics of Aluminum 7010 Bar are fair in the heat treated condition, which is the condition in which most machining is done. Aluminum 7010 Bar is an age hardening, high strength aluminum alloy. Aluminum 7010 Bar is useful for optimum strength to weight ratio structures. Aluminum 7010 Bar is formed by conventional methods. Aluminum 7010 Bar is used in many applications. It is commonly used in the manufacture of truck wheels, aircraft structures, and screw machine products, scientific instruments, veterinary and orthopedic braces and equipment, and in rivets.

Aluminum 7010 Plate

In general, Aluminum 7010 Plate principle elements are a flat web area and integral or mechanically attached flanges or caps. There are a large number of light sheet metal components in the airframe. The components are made primarily from Aluminum 7010. They are typically either sheet metal stampings or simple riveted assemblies. There are many structure shapes and sizes among those Aluminum 7010 Plate components. Aluminum 7010 Plate components such as ribs, formers, and intercostals are of secondary structural importance and are generally lightly loaded in use.

Abstract: The commercial 7000 series aluminium alloys are based on medium strength AlZnMg and high strength AlZnMgCu systems. The medium strength alloys are weldable, whereas the high strength alloys are non-weldable. This is because the amount of copper present in these alloys gives rise to hot cracking during solidification of welds. As a result, the high strength AlZnMg Cu base alloys are not used for applications where joining of components by welding is an essential step. In the present study, using a combination of qualitative Houldcroft test and quantitative Varestraint test, it is shown that a small addition of scandium to the commercial 7010 alloy reduces the hot cracking susceptibility during solidification of welds produced by the gas tungsten arc welding process. The improvement in weldability is found to be the result of the considerable grain refinement in the weld structure following the scandium addition. The results of microhardness and tensile tests are further described within the context of the present work to demonstrate that the 7010+Sc welds also exhibit a combination of improved strength and ductility.
