Located in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals stands as a dedicated partner for Ethiopia’s growing industrial sector, proudly supplying high-integrity Aluminium 7050 forgings. We understand that your most demanding projects require materials of exceptional strength and reliability. That’s why we focus on delivering forged components that meet rigorous international standards, providing local industries with world-class quality and supporting the nation’s ambitious infrastructure and manufacturing goals with robust, trusted solutions.
The exceptional strength of Aluminium 7050 comes from its carefully balanced composition, primarily zinc and copper, which is further enhanced through the forging process. This method aligns the metal’s grain structure, creating parts with superior toughness and an outstanding resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion cracking. The result is a material that offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, capable of handling incredibly high stress loads while remaining remarkably light, making it a favorite for critical applications where failure is not an option.
