Mechanical properties are those specified by EN 485-2:2016 for alloy 7075 in T651 temper, for the sheet thicknesses we stock. Above 12,5 mm the standard specifies elongation as A rather than A50. Hardness is given in the standard for information only and is not a guaranteed minimum. Certificates to EN 10204-3.1 are available on request.
