7049 aluminum is a high-strength 7xxx series alloy with high zinc and copper content, formulated primarily as a forging grade. It offers excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and good machinability, which makes it a frequent choice for critical structural forgings in aerospace and missile applications. It is generally considered non-weldable and is best supplied as forged or machined parts. Linsy supplies 7049 in plate, bar, and forging stock with mill test certificates on every order.
Available forms: plate, bar / rod, forging stock
Common tempers: F, H112, O, T352, T6, T651, T73, T7451
Processing support: CNC machining, laser cutting, TIG/MIG welding, anodizing, polishing, powder coating
Quality documents: MTC report with every order

7049 aluminum (EN AW-7049, AlZn8MgCu) is supplied to common wrought-alloy specifications. Typical standards by form: ASTM B209 (sheet and plate), ASTM B221 (extruded tube, bar, and profiles), ASTM B211 (bar and rod), and ASTM B313 (welded tube). Forging stock follows ASTM B247. Always confirm the exact specification and temper with our team for your order.

Values are typical for the indicated condition. An em dash (—) means the value was not available in the source data; confirm with the mill certificate. Asterisked values are estimates pending verification — see the audit report.
Among the strongest 7xxx forging alloys.
T73 / T7451 tempers resist cracking in aggressive environments.
Cuts cleanly on CNC equipment.
Design as forged or machined parts; welding is not recommended.
Linsy supplies 7049 as plate, bar, and forging stock, then CNC-machines and laser-cuts to print. It is not recommended for welding. For corrosion protection, anodizing or painting is advised, and the T73 / T7451 tempers should be specified where stress-corrosion resistance is critical.

No, 7049 is generally considered non-weldable and is supplied as forged or machined components.
The overaged T73 and T7451 tempers give the best resistance to stress-corrosion cracking; use them for critical aerospace structures.
The source mechanical data for 7049 was partially corrupted. Values shown are typical and must be verified against the mill certificate before release.
Every order ships with an MTC, and SGS third-party test reports are available on request.
Custom aluminum orders typically ship in 10–60 days depending on alloy, temper, size, and quantity. Stock or standard sizes may be faster — ask our team.
Yes. Every order includes an MTC. SGS third-party test reports are available on request.
Yes. We provide CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, polishing, and powder coating so parts can be delivered closer to finished form.
