- Price index: $$ (1–5, 6061-T6 = $)

## Mechanical properties (typical values, not certified minimums)

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 572 MPa |
| Yield strength | 503 MPa |
| Hardness | 150 HB |
| Density | 2.81 g/cm³ |
| Machinability | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Corrosion resistance | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |

## When to choose it

Pick 7075 when the part is strength- or fatigue-limited: 82% higher yield than 6061 lets you thin walls and recover the cost premium in weight savings.

## When to look elsewhere

Skip it for welded assemblies (crack-prone) and stiffness-limited parts — the elastic modulus equals 6061, so it will not deflect less. Anodize any exposed surface.

## Typical applications

- Highly loaded robot joints and frames
- Drone racing frames and gimbal cores
- Aircraft fittings and brackets
- High-performance vehicle components
