7475 aluminium alloy

Wrought aluminium zinc alloy

7475 aluminum alloy (Adirium) is a wrought alloy with high zinc weight percentage. It also contains magnesium, silicon and chromium.[1]

7475 alloy can not be welded. It has more spring back because of its strength. It has high machinability.[citation needed]
