7075-T6 aluminum is a high strength alloy with good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Since its introduction, it has been the mainstay of the aviation industry. Aluminum 7075 brings moderate toughness and excellent strength to weight ratio. It is also worth noting that the strength of the 7075 aluminum alloy increases at sub-zero temperatures.
