Correlation between heat treat thickness, forge thickness, and mechanical prop
Correlation between heat treat thickness, forge thickness, and mechanical prop
(OP)
We would like to make a hand forged aluminum 7075-T73 part 10-15" thick, rough machine it to 4-5" , then heat treat it. We need to meet a minimum of 50ksi yield. Is there an industry data source that could tell me if I can achieve these properties given the amount of prior work, forged thickness, and heat treat thickness?

Hope that helps.

Forgot to mention we have less than 25 units which does not warrant closed die forging cost or lead time.
Thanks tbuelna,
Dose that only apply at the forged thickness or at the heat treat thickness?
