7068-T6511/AA7068-T6高強度鋁合金航空航天鋁合金超硬鋁合金化學成分力學性能
7068高強度鋁合金是美國凱撒鋁及化學公司(Kaiser Aluminium & Chemical Comp．)發明的，現已由先進金屬材料國際集團公司(Advanced Metals International Group)投入生產。這種合金的力學性能比傳統的7XXX系超強合金的高得多，其屈服強度高達700N／mm2，比7075合金的高15％—20％，可用于制造航空航天器、汽車的閥體、聯桿，以及自行車與爬山器械零部件。
7068 aluminium alloy is the strongest commercially available aluminium alloy, and comparable to that of some steels. 7068-T6511 has typical ultimate tensile strength of 103?ksi (710?MPa) versus a similar product produced from 7075-T6511 that would have a typical ultimate tensile strength of 93?ksi (640?MPa). Typical yield strength for alloy 7068-T6511 is 99?ksi (680?MPa) versus 86?ksi (590?MPa) for a similar product produced from 7075-T6511.

Developed in the mid 1990’s by a world renowned aluminium producer, and extensively stocked and supplied in Europe by Smiths Advanced Metals, 7068 alloy is designed as a higher strength alternative to 7075 for ordnance applications. The highly attractive overall combination of mechanical properties (retained at elevated temperatures better than 7075) and other important characteristics of 7068 have resulted in the widespread specification of the alloy to markedly reduce the weight/cross section or significantly increase the strength of critical components in diverse market sectors.
7068 alloy provides the highest mechanical strength of all aluminium alloys and matches that of certain steels. This outstanding alloy combines a yield strength of up to 700 MPa (up to over 30% greater than that of 7075 alloy) and good ductility with corrosion resistance similar to 7075 and other features beneficial to high performance component/equipment designers.
7068 alloy is a 7000 series aluminium-zinc alloy registered with the US Aluminium Association and produced to AMS 4331 (chemical composition and mechanical properties) and AMS 2772 (heat treatment). 7068 alloy ‘A’ and ‘B’ tensile data and fatigue properties have been ratified for inclusion in MIL Handbook 5 / MMPDS. The standard supply temper condition is T6511. For applications requiring greater resistance to stress corrosion cracking the T76511 condition is available to order.
