Aluminum 7075 T6 VS T652 / Why choose 7075 T652

In short，T652=T6+Forging（stress relief）

When the diameter of the 7075 T6 aluminum rod reaches about 450mm, due to no that big mould and extruder ,usually make forging rod for larger diameter bar.

Forging can make the internal organization to be fully extended, improve product performance. In addition, after forging, flaw detection will be conducted to reduce the probability of bad problems such as trachoma and porosity.7075 T652 aluminum round bar involves a stress relief treatment after the initial aging process. This results in a lower level of residual stress, which can improve resistance to stress corrosion cracking and other forms of metal fatigue.
