AUTHOR: KEVIN BROWN
GENERAL 1.06
Aluminum alloy 7475 is primarily an aerospace 1.061
alloy used in a heat treated condition. It is usually
available as bare or clad sheet or as plate, but on
occasions extrusions and forgings have been made
for special applications in place of its sister alloys,
7075 and 7175. 1.07
Alloy 7475 is basically a high purity version of
7075, i.e., it contains lower iron and silicon, and
has marginally lower upper limits on copper and
magnesium. Special proprietary processing may
sometimes be given to 7475. The limits on chemi¬
cal composition reduce the amounts of second
phase constituents, which result in higher fracture
toughness at the same level of strength and corro¬
sion resistance. In over-aged tempers, for example,
T7x, 7475 is resistant to exfoliation and stress
corrosion. Most aerospace applications are for
components requiring high strength and toughness
at temperatures up to 300 F.

1.031 Explanation of temper designations. In the temper 1.092
designations listed above, the fust letter, "T", re¬
fers to a solution heat treated and aged condition,
as distinct from work hardened, "H", or annealed,
"O", or other conditions. The first digit which 1.093
follows T, "6 or 7", refers to the degree of aging.
Peak strength is designated by 6, whereas 7 indi¬
cates an over-aged temper in which some strength
has been sacrificed for toughness, or corrosion or
stress corrosion resistance. These tempers may be
subdivided by a second digit, "6 or 3", in which
case, T76 is usually stronger and is achieved with 1.094
a shorter age than T73. The final temper digit,
"1 indicates that the material has been stretched
after solution heat treatment and before aging, to
relieve residual stresses. In other products, "2"
denotes stress relief by compression. Other inter¬
mediate digits refer to other processing steps that
may be proprietary, and may differ from one
supplier to another.

1.05 Heat Treatment
Details of the heat treatment should be obtained, 2.01
when required, from the specific supplier of the 2.011
material due to possible differences in fabrication 2.012
history, and consequent differences in response to 2.0121
heat treatments.

Forms and Conditions Available
Alloy 7475 is available as sheet (up to 0.25-inch 0.21 Cr
thick) in both bare and clad forms, in either T61 Low Si
or T761 tempers, it is also available in T7351,
T7651, T76351, and T651 plate up to approxi¬ Fe
mately 4 inches in thickness, and in extruded rods Mn
for the manufacture of cartridge cases. Producers
and aerospace companies have also investigated Ti
the availability of 7475 structural forgings and
extrusions; however, the data are not found in 7475 Al
the open literature.
There has been a considerable amount of suc¬
cessful development work on superplastic 7475
sheet, and it is likely that it will be available com¬
mercially in the near future. (See also Section
1.094.)
Melting and Casting Practices
The alloy can be melted and alloyed in oil-fired or
electric-induction furnaces and cast into ingot
molds of any desired shape for subsequent working
into sheets, plates, or extrusions.
Special Considerations
The alloy loses both room and elevated tempera¬
ture strength rapidly with increasing holding times
at temperatures above 300 F (1).
The improved toughness and exfoliation resistance
of this alloy over 7075 depends on maintaining the
lower limits of silicon, iron, manganese, and
titanium (3). (See Tables 3.02110 and 3.02725.)
As has been reported for other heat treated alumi¬
num alloys in heavy sections, strength, hardness,
and fracture toughness vary through the thickness.
(See Figures 3.02722 and 3.02723.) Care should
be taken so that property comparisons are made at
similar test sample locations, and that the data
used are relevant to the section used in service.
When fabricated by special (patented) practices,
7475 sheet can be superplastic at strain rates
around 2x10"ÿ and temperatures around 950 F.
Elongations of approximately 650 percent have
been reported (24) in 7475 sheet suitable for
forming (see Table 3.0215). Subsequent T6 prop¬
erties of superplastically formed components were
reported (25) to be satisfactory (see Figures
3.0216 and 3.0217), with only slight degradation
due to cavitation. Fatigue properties of formed
sheet are comparable to those of conventional
sheet in the T6 temper (see Figure 3.05114).
