Aluminum Forged Plate – Aerospace & Tooling-Grade Stock

Aluminum forged plate — also known as high-strength near-net plate or 7075/6061 forged blank — is formed by high-temperature, high-pressure forging, giving it a denser grain structure than rolled plate. The result: superior fatigue life and impact resistance for aerospace, energy, heavy machinery, mold, defense and shipbuilding components.

Chalco stocks 7075-T651, 6061-T6/T651, 7050-T7451 aluminum forged plates — plus steel & titanium options — up to 3000 × 1500 mm. Need custom thickness, 100% UT, or pre-machined near-net blanks?
