Aerospace quality is more than an alloy designation.

Selecting material for an aerospace application involves more than confirming the alloy and temper.

The applicable specification, dimensional
tolerances, mechanical properties, heat-lot traceability, inspection requirements, and supporting documentation all play a role in determining whether material meets the requirements of a given application.

Each requirement serves a purpose, and the details matter when material needs to meet specific engineering and quality standards.

At Aircraft Extrusion Co., we understand the importance of getting those
details right.

Why material traceability matters in aerospace.

Knowing what a material is made of is only part of the equation. You also need to know where it came from and how it was verified.

Material identification and supporting test documentation help connect the physical product to its applicable requirements.

Depending on the specification and purchase requirements, that documentation may include mill test reports, mechanical test results, and material identification information.

For buyers and quality teams, confirming documentation requirements early can help prevent avoidable delays during receiving and inspection.

Material, identification, and documentation all matter.

Cut to length and ready for production.

Cutting material in-house takes time. Our CNC precision saw cutting service helps simplify that process by delivering aluminum extrusions cut to your required lengths and tolerances.

That means less time spent cutting material in-house and more time focused on production.

We recently donated some of our aluminum extrusion scrap to the engineering department at Chico State University.

It’s great to be able to support our local university and give students material they can use for their projects and hands-on work.

We’re happy to see some of our leftover material get put to good use!

Why We Quote 7075-T6511 Instead of 7075-T6

What’s actually different
• T6 / T3 = heat treated for strength
• T6511 / T3511 = same alloy, same strength condition
• Plus one extra step: stress relieving by stretching
• The “-11” = extrusion that’s been straightened

We didn’t change the alloy.
We didn’t change the strength.
We just improved how it behaves.

Why that matters? Because aluminum remembers stress. And it shows up later as:
• Parts moving during machining
• Dimensions drifting after roughing
• Unexpected distortion at finish

With T6511 / T3511:
• Less internal stress
• Better dimensional stability
• Fewer surprises mid-process

Properties (what stays the same)
• Chemistry: unchanged
• Strength: effectively equivalent for most applications
• Performance: same design intent

Nothing “mystical” changes on the datasheet. The difference shows up on the machine.

Why we stock it this way
Because this is how extruded product is actually produced:
• 7075 → T6511
• 2024 → T3511
Not because it sounds better. Because it reduces downstream machining problems.

Important note, if your drawing calls out:
• T6
• T3
Don’t assume substitution. Check the spec. Get approval if needed.
Most of the time you’re fine. However, sometimes you’re not the decision maker.

Bottom line
We don’t quote T6511 instead of T6 to complicate things. We do it because it:
• Machines straighter
• Holds tolerance better
• And avoids expensive surprises later
