Aluminum 7075-T7351 is a special over-aged temper of the 7075 alloy designed to provide superior stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance in thick sections — at a 10-15% strength reduction vs the T651 temper. It is specified for aircraft structural bulkheads, wing spars, and other thick-section components where SCC resistance is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose T7351 over T651 for 7075?

T651 provides maximum strength (572 MPa ultimate) but is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in the short-transverse direction for sections above 25mm. T7351 sacrifices ~10% strength to dramatically improve SCC resistance, making it the required temper for thick aerospace structural components.
