7075 aluminum plate prices
7075 aluminum plate prices are higher than prices of many other alloys because of its production entails advanced technology, and plate of different thicknesses have different prices, too. Generally the plate is between 1mm to 500mm thick, used in golf heads, shoe molds, high hardness molds, high-end mobile phone shells, thick plates, heavy forging, etc. Tempers plays a role in influencing the price, too. Regular tempers for the plate include O, T6, T651, T7451 and H112, among which T6 and T651 are the most frequently adopted. The tax inclusive price of the national standard 7075-T6 aluminum plate with thickness of more than 10 mm is about 33.8 yuan / kg, and the unit price of 7075-T651 aluminum plate is higher. The production cost of 7075 plates below 10 mm is higher, and the price will be higher. The cutting price for the plate is about 45 yuan / kg.
The prices of 7075 plates are high for three reasons. First, the production cost is high. 7075 is a copper zinc aluminum alloy. It is difficult to cast ingots, and the probability of failure is very high. The production cost caused by repeated casting ingots is much higher than that of 5052 plate ingots. The second is technical factor. 7075 aluminum plate has such a high hardness that it cannot be rolled by ordinary hot rolling mill. Only manufacturers with relative technique and equipment are able to product it. The last is market factor. The supply of 7075 aluminum plate is very small due to the production cost and technical reasons, and the price rises naturally. What’s more, demands for the plates keeps increasing in the market. In spite of high prices, its excellent performances win purchasers in many industries over.
