Typical mechanical properties Applications
• T7452 condition. 120/150 mm thickness • Closed-die forgings and large forged bars for the
-Tensile test at ambient temperature, longitudinal direction aerospace industry.
• This alloy has been specifically designed for
- UTS: >475 N/mm2
structural components subject to high fatigue
- 0.2 % Yield strength: >400 N/mm2 stress and risk of corrosion.
- Elongation (5d): >8 %
- K1c (L -T direction): >27 MPam
Characteristics
• T74 condition. 100/125 mm thickness • This alloy of European origin has properties
similar to that of American grade 7050.
-Tensile test at ambient temperature, longitudinal direction
For all over-aged T74 and T76 conditions it
- UTS: >485 N/mm2 achieves a balance between mechanical
- 0.2 % Yield strength: >420 N/mm2 properties (strength, toughness, fatigue) and
resistance to stress corrosion
- Elongation (5d): >7 %
- K1c (L -T direction): >27 MPam

Heat treatment
• Solution treatment
• Water Quench
• Age depending on properties required and the size of the parts.
• The over-aged T74 and T76 conditions are the most common and are defined in standard NF EN 515.
• Closed-die forgings can be stress relieved between solution treatment and aging.
• T7452 and T7652 stress relieved by compression before T74 over-aging, and T7454 and T7654 achieved by further
cold closed-die forging, are the most common conditions. These are defined in Standard NF EN 515.
