My manager was complaining about 7075 taking longer to run. That material is 1800$ for a 48x96 .125" sheet. I would rather not scrap it when the material costs that much. It also takes a while to get it and I would rather take longer than have to get new material and set everything back up all over again.
Hi Michael, thanks for making such detailed and informative videos on aluminum alloys. Do you know why 7050 Aluminum is not commercially available in the US in round bar? Its properties seem superior for many applications over 7075 and it apprear to be widely used in sheet/flat stock.
Happy you are enjoying the videos and find them useful. Very grateful for the positive feedback. You can reach out to me at the office and I can try to help with the round bar request. It might be possible but as you say it's less common in round but I'll give it my best shot!
Hi, thank you for the helpful videos. I want to hot forge a workpiece made of Al7075, I have a problem with selection of initial billet condition for hot forging. I mean is as cast aluminum proper to forging or it must be fully anealled? I am worry about cracks during deformation of AA7075. Thanks
My experience is that 7075 actually forms really well like forming a counterbore. You have to take spring back into account and set dwell points as the ram comes down.
I was able to make it pretty loud Bear. I made sure my youtube volume was maxed out as well as my speakers, but at that point it was actually TOO loud. I will make sure the volume is better adjusted next time. Thank you for watching!!!
@@MichlinMetals Hello, I've watched & "LIKED" many of your informative videos. Honestly, I've learned a lot & I sincerely appreciate what you're doing. I'm an amateur race car driver. In a few months, I'll begin a major project. My goal is to build the fastest, naturally aspirated (supercharged) Camaro and "hopefully" set a new land speed record. This is an "independent" effort...without sponsors. I will begin by building a 632cid aluminum engine block; CNC'd from ultra-high quality billet aluminum. I've done research...BUT...I'm getting conflicting information from various sources. I "NEED" your professional input. 1.) I'm considering billet 7075-T6 aluminum for the engine block & cylinder heads. What grade of billet aluminum would you recommend for the engine block? Strength & quality of the billet aluminum are the most important factors. 2.) I want the engine to look nice as well. So, I'm considering having it powder-coated. This "painting process" requires the powder-coated metal to be "heat-cured" at 400° F for 15 minutes. Will this heating process cause ANY negative affects//weakening of the aluminum? 3.) The end result will be an engine that will easily produce 1,600 horsepower and 1,400+ pound-feet of torque. So, the differential & its' housing need to be very strong. Strange Engineering offers an AMS206-T4 aluminum differential housing. From my understanding, it is a "cast" aluminum piece; not from CNC'd billet aluminum. Apparently, this grade of aluminum is used in many military applications. What is AMS206-T4 aluminum? Is billet 7075-T6 aluminum stronger than AMS206-T4? Your attention, consideration & recommendations will be truly appreciated. I wait for your reply. Ben

I get that for sure! 7075 is tough to come by these days and the cost is also very high....so I totally understand the desire to waste nothing!
Can I apply anodize to 7075 T6 ?
Yes you can anodize 7075. It does not have the appearance & quality of other alloys
pls for me document with technology T4 and T6 Heat Treatment?
I don't really have any documentation available for those tempers for those heat treatments. Sorry I could not be of more help.

@@MichlinMetals Thanks Mike, just sent an email to the Michlin info inbox with your name in the subject line!
@@Glider517 not sure it came in, drop what you need here and I will see what I can do.

Forging from a 7075 casting can be done.
I told somebody I could not weld his
7000 series aluminium.
I wonder if there is a way to anile , weld, then heat treat ?
Yes it can be done but it has even more issues than welding 7000s as is. No simple answer here beyond that. Wish I could help more.
Why would anyone use 7075 T6 for electronics? Why not use cheaper stainless steel.
My experience is that 7075 actually forms really well like forming a counterbore. You have to take spring back into account and set dwell points as the ram comes down.
Michael, please reload this video and turn up the volume,,,Love to learn more of the 7000 series,Bear in TX Ole fart.

We have a customer to show you how psychotic they are they want .190" 7075 T-6 with .098 hexagons with .062" wall thickness.
Wow, what were they doing w/that stuff? Seems like a bear to wrangle.
What were they doing w/such a savage shape and dimension?
@@MichlinMetals It looked like a room full of engineers were drinking.
