7055 aluminium is one of the world's most highly alloyed 7000 series aluminium.

---

7055 aluminium alloy is particularly suited to structural applications due to the alloy's high strength.

Overview:

Although the alloy was primarily developed for the aerospace sector, the material now crosses over into other high-technology industries such as motorsport. The product is available in extruded and plate form and benefits from excellent durability and corrosion resistance while offering a genuine weight-saving option thanks to the material's low density.

Heat Resistance:

The alloy is also suitable for elevated-temperature applications due to good heat resistance characteristics.

Suitability in Motorsport:

Although the product offers very high strength and toughness, 7055 offers less density than other alloys and therefore represents an excellent weight reduction solution when strength is needed to be maintained. Such characteristics are a perfect fit for the motorsport sector.
