7075 Aluminum Sheet Price Per ton

Haomei Aluminum, with 15 years of experience in aluminum sheet exports, tracks global 7075 aluminum sheet prices daily, serving customers in over 30 countries worldwide. Based on market data as of May 10, 2026, the following analysis of the 7075 aluminum sheet price per ton in US dollars, from an exporter’s perspective, provides data accurate to within $10 increments, clearly presenting the price structure and fluctuation patterns, offering professional and transparent pricing references for global customers.

I. Core Positioning and Price Benchmark of 7075 Aluminum Plate

7075 is an ultra-hard aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, with zinc as the main alloying element (3%-7.5%), reinforced with magnesium and copper. Its T6 tensile strength reaches 540MPa+, and its hardness far exceeds that of 6061 aluminum sheet, resulting in a higher price than ordinary aluminum. On May 10, 2026, the FOB China port benchmark price for Haomei Aluminum 7075 aluminum sheet was 3850-4200 USD/ton (T6/T651 temper, 1220×2440mm standard specification), based on raw material and production cost accounting.

The price benchmark consists of two parts:

First, the cost of aluminum ingots. Currently, the LME aluminum 3M futures price is USD 3502/ton (closing price on May 8th), with a spot premium of USD 50-80/ton;

Second, the processing premium. The special formula, heat treatment (solution + aging), and high-precision rolling of 7075 result in processing fees of USD 1200-1500/ton, significantly higher than the USD 500-800/ton for 6061 aluminum sheet.

II. In-depth breakdown of price components (exporter’s perspective)

From the exporter’s accounting perspective, the price of 7075 aluminum sheet can be broken down into six major components:

Electrolytic aluminum ingots (core cost, accounting for 85%, USD 3550-3600/ton);

Alloying elements (accounting for 7%, USD 280-320/ton, approximately 1.8 times the cost of pure aluminum).

Heat treatment (9%, USD 350-400/ton, energy consumption accounts for 40% of the processing stage);

Rolling (5%, USD 220-260/ton, yield is 12% lower than ordinary aluminum plates);

Surface treatment (3%, USD 100-150/ton);

Export fees (2%, USD 80-120/ton).

The above are FOB prices. CIF prices require additional ocean freight (USD 300-500/ton) and insurance (0.3% of the value of the goods).

III. Real-time Price Range for May 2026 (By Specification)

We offer tiered pricing (FOB, USD/ton):

1-3mm (T6: 4100-4200, T651: 4150-4250, minimum order 5 tons, deduct 100 for orders over 50 tons);

4-10mm (T6: 3950-4050, T651: 4000-4100, minimum order 3 tons, deduct 80 for orders over 30 tons).

12-25mm (T6: 3850-3950, T651: 3900-4000, minimum order 2 tons, deduct 60 for orders over 20 tons);

30-50mm (T6: 3900-4000, T651: 3950-4050, minimum order 1 ton, deduct 50 for orders over 10 tons). T651 is priced 50-100 USD/ton higher than T6 and is suitable for high-precision applications.

IV. Key Factors Affecting Price Fluctuations (Exporter Insights)

Price fluctuations are influenced by five main factors:

First, for every 100 USD/ton fluctuation in LME aluminum prices, product prices adjust by 90-95 USD/ton; recently, aluminum prices have been trending upwards.

Second, for every 500 USD/ton increase in zinc prices, costs rise by 120-150 USD/ton.

Third, T73 (corrosion resistance preferred) is 150-200 USD/ton more expensive than T6, with a 5% reduction in strength. Fourth, large orders of 100 tons or more reduce prices by 150-200 USD/ton; our monthly capacity is 800 tons, and we can accept rush orders up to 300 tons (7-day delivery).

Fifth, North American tariffs are 50%, with CIF prices at 4800-5200 USD/ton; we can offer Mexican re-export, reducing costs by 12%.

In May 2026, the mainstream FOB price of 7075 aluminum sheet at Chinese ports was USD 3850-4200/ton. Specific quotes are calculated based on thickness, condition, order quantity, and destination.
