EN AW-2007 – FLEXIBILITY

EN AW-2007 is a heat-treatable alloy. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a heat treatment such as solution annealing followed by natural aging. Only then can the alloy develop its full potential.

This typical free-machining alloy can be processed further at high cutting speeds. This results in the formation of characteristically short chips. This makes the EN-AW-2007 alloy ideal for turned parts such as washers or bolts.

EN AW-2007 applications

Due to EN AW-2007’s outstanding erosion and machining properties, it is primarily used in the manufacture of turned parts, such as washers or bolts.

• Turned parts, precision engineering
• Control arms and tie rods
• Gas cylinders and pressurized cylinders

• Pistons and piston rods
• Structural tubes, control rods and hydraulic tubes for fluid transport
• Orthopedics

Turned billets

We currently offer all diameters from 140 – 650 mm. From Q2 2023, we will be able to offer diameters up to 1,100 mm.

Mechanical properties

There is no standard for cast round rods (cast billets/bolts) that defines mechanical properties. A Brinell hardness of approx. 72 HBW in its homogenized state serves as a reference value for the cast material. The homogenized state („O3“ in accordance with EN 515) is comparable to the “soft annealed” state („O“) for extruded products. The final strength is adjusted by our customers‘ forming processes and/or heat treatments.

Customer-specific solutions …

We will also be happy to adapt the analysis specifications to your highly individual processing and quality requirements on request. Various chemical compositions can be realized, as well as very pure alloys containing only small amounts of certain elements, such as sodium, calcium or beryllium. We are looking forward to your request!

… no problem for LEICHTMETALL

High-strength aluminum alloys are our specialty. Our foundry expertise goes back over 90 years. Both then and now, demanding customers from many sectors such as aircraft construction, the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and the energy sector use our premium alloys made in Hanover, Germany. Sustainability is very important to us: Our processes are comprehensively energy and environmentally conscious. Therefore, we mainly work with secondary aluminum from the recycling economy to ensure greater environmental and climate protection.
