7010 T7351 aluminum alloy belongs to the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu based 7000 series and is developed for applications requiring high strength along with improved corrosion resistance and crack resistance. The T7351 temper refers to solution heat treatment, stress relieving, and overaging. This temper is specifically preferred to improve resistance against stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and provides a safer structure compared to 7075-T6.

In terms of corrosion resistance, 7010 T7351 performs quite well within the 7000 series. Its resistance to stress corrosion cracking is significantly higher than that of 7075-T6. However, its general corrosion resistance is not as high as 6000 series alloys such as 6082 or 6061. Careful use and protective coatings are recommended in marine environments.

Regarding strength and mechanical properties, 7010 T7351 offers very high strength and reaches strength levels close to 7075 within the 7000 series. However, due to the T7351 temper, there is a slight reduction in strength compared to the T6 condition. In return, toughness and resistance to crack propagation are significantly improved. Compared to 2024 alloy, it provides higher strength along with better damage tolerance.

In terms of machinability, bendability, and weldability, 7010 T7351 provides moderate machinability. Machining is possible but not as easy as with 6000 series alloys. Its weldability is limited and it is generally not preferred for welded applications. Its bending capability is low, and forming operations are typically carried out before heat treatment. Similar to 7075, it is mainly used in machined and forged products.

Regarding coating ability, vibration behavior, and applications, 7010 alloy can be used with anodizing and protective coatings, although its decorative surface quality is limited. Its vibration damping capacity is low. Main application areas include aerospace industry, military applications, high load-bearing structural components, and aircraft fuselage parts. 7010 T7351 is preferred in applications where high strength and improved crack resistance are critical.
