Aluminium round bar, manufactured in alloy 7075 T6, an alloy with high mechanical characteristics and good corrosion resistance, as well as suitability for hard and protective anodising. Ideal for structural parts in aviation, defence and automotive applications.
In calibrated quality, the tolerances of the bar are tighter, which avoids roughing operations depending on the part to be made.
The Ø16 drawn aluminium round bar is made of EN AW 7075 alloy. An aluminium alloy belonging to the 7075 family, with zinc as the main alloying element.
It is the standard commercial alloy with the highest mechanical characteristics and high fatigue resistance, making it ideal for structural components in the most demanding industries such as aeronautics, defence and automotive.
This aluminium alloy has the following composition under standard EN 573-3:
