Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to wrought 7xxx aluminum alloy product comprising in weight % Zn 6.7 - 7.4, Mg 1.35 - 1.75, Cu 1.85 - 2.35, Zr 0.04 - 0.14, Mn 0 - 0.5, Ti 0 - 0.15, V 0 - 0.15, Cr 0 - 0.25, Fe ≤0.05, Si≤0.05 with a Fe+Si ≤ 0.08 % and artificially aged wherein the total equivalent aging time t(eq) at 155°C is comprised from 24 hours to 45 hours which permits to optimize the compromise between tensile yield strength and toughness with improved cryogenic fracture toughness and fatigue resistance in corrosive environment.
