7050 aluminum is a high-strength 7xxx series alloy built around zinc, magnesium, and copper, with zirconium for grain control. It is closely related to 7075 but performs better in thick sections because it is less sensitive to quench rate, so strength is retained deeper into the plate. The T7451 temper gives strong resistance to exfoliation and stress-corrosion cracking, which is why 7050 is a workhorse for aerospace structures such as bulkheads, fuselage frames, and wing skins. Linsy supplies 7050 in plate, tube, and bar with mill test certificates on every order.
Available forms: plate, tube, bar / rod
Common tempers: T73510, T73511, T74, T7451, T7452
Processing support: CNC machining, laser cutting, TIG/MIG welding, anodizing, polishing, powder coating
Quality documents: MTC report with every order

7050 aluminum (EN AW-7050, AlZn6CuMgZr) 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), ASTM B247 (forging stock), and ASTM B313 (welded tube). Always confirm the exact specification and temper with our team for your order.

Values are typical for the overaged T7451 / T7351x tempers; confirm exact figures with the mill certificate.
Less quench-sensitive than 7075, so plate stays strong through its depth.
Overaged tempers resist cracking in aggressive service.
Precipitation hardening delivers the specified strength.
Generally supplied as a machined or formed part, not a welded assembly.
Linsy CNC-machines and laser-cuts 7050, then anodizes or paints for corrosion protection. Welding is not recommended; design parts as machined or formed components.
Linsy is a Shenzhen-based aluminum supplier with more than 20 years of experience. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Every order ships with a mill test certificate (MTC). SGS third-party test reports are available on request. Typical custom lead time is 10–60 days depending on temper, size, and quantity.

7050 is less sensitive to quench rate, so it keeps strength better in thick plate, and its overaged tempers resist stress corrosion far better than 7075-T6.
T7451 is the standard for aerospace plate where corrosion resistance matters; T73510/T73511 for extruded sections.
No, it is not a welding grade. Plan for machined or bonded assemblies.
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.
Send your alloy, temper, dimensions, quantity, and required standard. Our team will confirm availability, lead time, and pricing.
