Choosing Carabiner: why Does the Outdoor Climbing Brand Prefer 7075 Aluminum Alloy?

ByShichuang

High-strength aluminum alloys have long been the mainstream choice for carabiner buckles. Among them, 7075 aluminum alloy is widely used in products with strict requirements for safety and weight, which explains why Outdoor Climbing Brand Prefer 7075 Aluminum Carabiner and why this material has gradually become an industry standard.

Customers care about more than just the material itself; they also evaluate whether the carabiner performs reliably in real-world conditions, withstands long-term repeated stress, and truly matches its intended application scenarios.

As an aluminum alloy carabiner manufacturer, we view a carabiner not as a one-time load-bearing part, but as a structural component that opens and closes repeatedly, carries loads over long periods, and withstands multi-directional stress.

This places three core requirements on the material: strength, fatigue performance, and consistency.

Compared to common low-strength aluminum materials, the 7075 series aluminum alloy has a greater advantage in tensile strength. Through optimized solution and aging heat treatment, the material achieves higher tensile and yield strength while maintaining a lightweight structure.

This high specific strength allows carabiners to meet higher safety requirements without increasing size or weight.

For end users, the benefits of this material translate directly into real-world performance:

  • The overall weight is lighter when carrying multiple carabiners;
  • The structure is less prone to performance degradation during repeated use and stress;
  • It maintains stable performance under extreme environments or sudden stress, providing corrosion and rust protection;

Another easily overlooked point is fatigue performance. Carabiners often endure not just a single extreme tensile force, but thousands of opening and closing cycles, light loads, and impacts. 7075 aluminum alloy maintains consistent mechanical performance under repeated loading, making it a long-standing material choice in professional mountaineering systems.

Of course, from a manufacturing perspective, we also need to emphasize that material itself does not automatically equate to safety. 7075 aluminum alloy can only truly realize its advantages under appropriate forming processes, reasonable structural design, and stable heat treatment and surface treatment.

However, you can rest assured that we tensile-test every 7075 climbing carabiner after production, so each unit meets verified strength requirements.

Furthermore, although our carabiners are labeled as 23KN, the actual tensile test results show 25-27KN, ​​but we use the minimum value for all climbable carabiners. In real use, carabiners do not experience continuous static loads only; they also face dynamic forces such as falls and impacts, so they must withstand a defined level of impact loading.

In summary, when carabiner products require load-bearing performance, involve personal safety, or serve long-term use, choosing this material reflects a rational approach to risk control and reliability—not merely a high-end positioning.
