Chromoly is stronger in terms of tensile strength and both metals are about the same in yield or bending strength.
7075 is stronger than 6061 aluminum.
"Aluminium 7075 is forgeable or not?"
Yes. Several aluminum alloy's particularly 7075 series
It depends on multiple factors, There are multiple grades/alloys of both that have different characteristics ( flexibility, temperature ranges, chemical resistance that affect it's strength). If you are going by volume, comparing pieces of the same width/length/thickness, than steel is always stronger. If your comparing by weight, comparing 2 pieces that weight the same, than aluminum is almost always stronger with the exception of chromoly steel. 41xx grade chromoly steel is the only steel that is stronger/weight than aluminum alloys(debatable), but most agree that the aluminum of similar weight will be stiffer. Aluminum alloys usually show a 1/3 weight saving with equal strength vs. non Chromoly steels, like that used in production cars. All commercial planes are made of aluminum alloy.
about 40 cents per pound
Aluminum is a metal, so that's like asking what's stronger, aluminum or aluminum. You could ask which aluminum is stronger 6061 t6 or 7075 t6. You could ask whats stronger, pig iron or chromoly. You could even ask what's stronger, bronze or copper. All are metals. Some metals are alloys others are elements. All of the following metals are also elements Titanium Vanadium Chromium Manganese Cobalt Zinc Tin Magnesium Molybdenum Aluminum Silver Zinc Iron Nickel Copper Lead Tungsten Calcium Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Cesium Francium Beryllium Strontium Barium Radium Gallium Indium Thallium Bismuth Scandium Manganese Cobalt Yttrium Zirconium Niobium Technetium Ruthenium Rhodium Palladium Cadmium Lanthanum Hafnium
The primary alloy used for lightweight aluminum applications such as aircraft and high-performance vehicles is 7075 aluminum alloy. It has excellent strength-to-weight ratio and good fatigue strength.
When bending 7075-T6 aluminum instead of 7075-0, you must account for the increased springback due to the T6 temper's higher strength and lower ductility. This typically means adjusting the bend allowance to be larger, as the material will spring back more after the bend is completed. It's important to perform tests or use specific formulas to accurately determine the required bend allowance for the T6 temper. Additionally, considering the bend radius and tooling may also be necessary for optimal results.
The price per pound of 7075 aluminum plate can vary based on factors such as market demand, supplier pricing, and thickness of the material. As of my last update, prices generally ranged from $3 to $5 per pound, but it's essential to check current market rates or consult suppliers for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.
No, not to a whole number, (7075 / 6 = 1179.1666)

Hello I hope this helps 7075 is a zinc alloyed based Aluminum which machines very well, it has some of the highest tensile and yield values but also has the least amount of stretch with one drawback is it cat not be welded. It is used on fighter jet landing gear All the best , Steve G
