View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.ALCOA ALUMINUM ALLOY 7050 is an aluminum-zinc-copper-magnesium alloy that was developed by Alcoa and for which they were granted U.S. Patent No. 3,881,966. The alloy has a superior combination of strength, stress-corrosion cracking resistance and toughness, particularly in thick sections. In thin sections it also possesses an excellent combination of properties that are important for aerospace applications.
