7005 aluminium alloy
7005 is an aluminium alloy used bicycle frames, due to its relative ease of welding it does not require expensive heat treating - it is however harder to form making manufacture more challenging.
It has an Ultimate Tensile Strength of 350MPa, a Fatigue Strength of 150MPa and a density of 2.78g/cm³ [1] compared to a Ultimate Tensile Strength of 310MPa and Fatigue Strength of 96.5 MPa and a density of 2.70g/cm³ for 6061 aluminium alloy. [2]
It does not need to be precipitation hardened, unlike 6061, but can be cooled in air.[3]
Specific forms of AL 7005 include:
- 7005-O
- 7005-T5
- 7005-T53
- 7005-T6

gollark: Or, well, at least one major bug, and generally complex and confusing setup.
gollark: Unfortunately, running your own krist node is nigh-impossible, due to major bugs which Lemmmy doesn't have time to fix.
gollark: Kristpay (`/pay`) is optional and separate.
gollark: It doesn't. Is that unclear somehow?
gollark: Krist doesn't require plugins...
