Aluminum A7075-RAM10-AB vs A7075-RAM10-T73
Aluminum · A7075-RAM10 temper comparison
A7075-RAM10-AB and A7075-RAM10-T73 are two conditions of the same aluminum grade, A7075-RAM10: AB (as built (as printed)) versus T73 (solution heat treated and overaged for stress-corrosion resistance). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. A7075-RAM10-T73 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 400 MPa (58 ksi) against 280 MPa (40.6 ksi) for A7075-RAM10-AB, about 43% more; tensile strength follows at 465 MPa (67.4 ksi) vs 370 MPa (53.7 ksi). A7075-RAM10-T73 is harder — 138 HB against 108 HB for A7075-RAM10-AB — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. A7075-RAM10-T73 runs hotter in service (175°C vs 120°C continuous) and A7075-RAM10-T73 conducts heat better (145 W/m·K vs 105 W/m·K).
A7075-RAM10-T73Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
A7075-RAM10-AB vs A7075-RAM10-T73: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all aluminum grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
