ALLOY DESIGNATIONS
AMS QQ-A-250/21, 7178 has similarities to the following standard designations and specifications ;

 

Alloy 7178, UNS A97178, ASTM B209

AlZn7MgCu

 

TEMPER TYPES

7178 is supplied in a wide range of tempers:
 
  • O - Soft
  • T6 - Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged.
  • T6510 - Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching (permanent set 1% to 3% for extruded rod, bar, shapes and tube, 0.5% to 3% for drawn tube) and then artificially aged. The products receive no further straightening after stretching.
  • T6511 - Same as T6510 except that minor straightening is allowed after stretching to comply with standard tolerances
  • T76 - Solution heat-treated and then artificially overaged in order to achieve a good exfoliation corrosion resistance.
  • T7651 - Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching (permanent set 1% to 3% for extruded rod, bar, shapes and tube, 0.5% to 3% for drawn tube) and then artificially overaged in order to achieve a good exfoli-ation corrosion resistance. The products receive no further straightening after stretching.
  • T76510 - Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching and then artificially overaged in order to achieve a good exfoli-ation corrosion resistance. The products receive no further straightening after stretching.
  • T76511 - Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by controlled stretching and then artificially overaged in order to achieve a good exfoli-ation corrosion resistance. The products receive no further straightening after stretching except that minor straightening is allowed after stretching to comply with standard tolerances.
