What advantages does Chalco have as a 7050 aluminum plate supplier?

Equipment strength

Chalco is equipped with a German SMS (1+4) 4500mm hot strip mill production line, utilizing Siemens electrical systems and German IMS online convexity gauges to achieve closed-loop automatic control of thickness and flatness.

The mill is equipped with hydraulic adjustment, CVC plus control, bending roller systems, regional cooling, temperature control systems, as well as full equipment for light and heavy shearing, edge trimming, coiling, scrap recycling, and flue gas purification, ensuring stable plate quality, minimal deformation, and flatness.

Cold rolling capability

The cold rolling project uses a German SMS 2800mm single-frame and double-frame CVC cold rolling mill with a maximum rolling force of 20, 000kN and a maximum rolling speed of 1800m/min.

The high-precision CVC system, combined with automatic thickness and flatness control, gives the 7050 aluminum plate excellent surface quality and dimensional consistency, significantly reducing defects such as waviness and scratches, meeting the demands of aerospace and high-end manufacturing.

Production capacity

Chalco can produce 7050 stretch aluminum plates in accordance with ASTM B209 standards, with a maximum width of 4000mm and a maximum thickness of 250mm; strip width can reach up to 2650mm, and minimum thickness can be as low as 1.8mm.

Custom products with different thicknesses, widths, and heat treatment conditions can be tailored to meet various engineering applications.

Quality certifications

The products are certified under ISO 9001, GJB 9001, AS9100, TS16949, and Nadcap (non-destructive testing/heat treatment/material testing) quality systems.

Custom 7050 aluminum plates can be made according to ASTM, JIS, EN, and other international standards to ensure smooth exports and traceable quality.

FAQ

What is the price of 7050 aluminum plate?

The price depends on the alloy condition, specifications, quantity, and current ingot prices. As an aerospace-grade material, 7050 aluminum is relatively more expensive than regular aluminum alloys. Please provide the specifications to receive a real-time quote. Quick Quote

How to calculate the weight of a 7050 aluminum plate?

Weight = Length (mm) × Width (mm) × Thickness (mm) × 2.83 × 10⁻⁶ (kg/mm³), where 2.83 g/cm³ is the theoretical density of 7050 aluminum alloy.

If you want to quickly calculate the weight of aluminum plates for other alloys, you can also use the Chalco online calculator.

Is the price of 7050 aluminum plate higher than 7075?

Generally, it is slightly higher. Due to its superior corrosion resistance and performance in thick plates, 7050 aluminum plate holds more added value in aerospace and high-end manufacturing fields.

What surface treatments can be applied to 7050 aluminum plate?

It can undergo anodizing, electrophoretic coating, spraying, corrosion-resistant coating, and other surface treatments to enhance appearance and corrosion resistance.

How is 7050 aluminum plate typically packaged and shipped?

It is wrapped in waterproof plastic film and externally reinforced with non-fumigated wooden crates or pallets to ensure the surface is free from scratches and oxidation during transportation, meeting requirements for sea and air shipping.

What are the common quality issues with EN AW-7050 aluminum plate?

Plate shape quality:7050 aluminum plates are widely used in aerospace and high-precision structural components, requiring very high flatness. During hot and cold rolling, improper process control can lead to uneven local stress, resulting in surface undulations. Particularly for ASTM B209 7050 T651 aluminum plates, residual stress must be eliminated through stretching to avoid deformation after cutting or changes in plate shape during subsequent processing.

Appearance quality:Due to the high surface quality requirements of 7050 aluminum plates, common appearance issues such as warping, waviness, dents, scratches, edge burrs, or micro-cracks can occur during production. These defects can directly impact product acceptance, especially in aerospace-grade materials.

Dimensional quality:Aerospace structural components have very strict tolerances for thickness, width, and length. If thickness control is unstable during production or if shearing and cutting equipment lack precision, it can lead to out-of-tolerance situations, resulting in scrap or rework risks.

Surface quality:Common surface defects for 7050 aluminum plates include roll adhesion, roller marks, stretch marks, watermarks, streaks, oxidation marks, black spots, and corrosion spots. These issues are often related to rolling speed, emulsion conditions, roller cleanliness, and annealing processes. Full-process monitoring and process optimization are required to control these defects.
