I don't know about using 7075-T6 as a mast but you did ask about
other uses.  Something very similar, 7075-T9 is used as a popular
and tough arrow shaft.  What I don't know is, what the T6 or T9
designation means.  In manufacturing arrows they start with a
larger size tube and draw it down over many steps.
