From the heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Hemi Metals delivers premium aluminium solutions with a focus on craftsmanship and reliability. We are proud specialists in the supply and manufacturing of Aluminium 7050 Forgings, providing robust and high-performance components for the most demanding industries. Our commitment is to offer not just a product, but a trusted partnership, ensuring every forging meets the stringent standards required by our clients, both locally and internationally, backed by our expert team and dedication to quality.
The specific composition of Aluminium 7050, rich with zinc and magnesium, is engineered for exceptional strength. These forgings are prized for their remarkable combination of high stress resistance and toughness, particularly when compared to other alloys. They maintain this superior performance even in challenging environments, offering excellent resistance to corrosion. This makes 7050 an outstanding choice where failure is not an option, providing a reliable material that stands up to intense pressure and wear over time.

Yes, Aluminum 7050 can be forged into shapes with tight tolerances, as it offers good strength and machinability. However, precise control over temperature and pressure is required for optimal results.
Aluminum 7050 offers high strength, excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and good fatigue resistance. It's ideal for aerospace and military applications, providing superior performance in custom forgings.
Because of its unique properties, Aluminium 7050 forgings are indispensable in fields where strength and reliability are absolutely critical. You’ll find these components forming the structural backbone of modern aircraft, within vital aerospace assemblies, and in high-stress automotive parts. They are also essential for demanding applications in the defence sector and in high-performance sporting equipment. Essentially, wherever a component must be both incredibly strong and relatively lightweight to ensure safety and efficiency, 7050 forgings from Hemi Metals provide the trusted solution.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
