Recently, the aluminum semis plant of East Hope Guyang Aluminum overcame technical difficulties and successfully achieved the trial production of 7075 high-end aluminum alloy billet.

7075 aluminum alloy products feature high strength and excellent fatigue resistance, and are widely used in high-end material fields related to aerospace, mold manufacturing, and automotive transportation. The raw material ratios and melting/casting processes are highly demanding, making production challenging. The company formed a special task force, focusing on quality control of raw and auxiliary materials as well as optimization of key processes throughout the entire melting and casting flow. After multiple rounds of debugging and performance testing verification, it successfully realized the production of 7075 aluminum billet.

The successful trial production of 7075 aluminum billet optimized the company's product mix and addressed its weakness in high-end aluminum semis. Guyang Aluminum will continue to increase R&D investment in high-end, lightweight new aluminum materials, further deepen and refine the intensive processing of the aluminum industry, and continuously build core competitive advantages for the enterprise.
