7049/7149 aluminum is a high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy used in aircraft structural applications, offering tensile yield strengths of 70–80 ksi in peak-aged conditions with good fatigue resistance and fracture toughness. Available tempers range from peak-strength T6 variants (T6151, T61511) to overaged T7 conditions (T73–T77511) that trade some strength for improved stress-corrosion cracking resistance and damage tolerance at elevated temperatures.
