Yeah, I agre with Dave.. at least on the properties. There are dead soft
alloys and then age and heat treated alloys. For instance, the air dam on
the Sunbeam is 6061-T6 and it han hardly be bent at all. In fact I had touse
a torch to be able to bend it at all then it holds it shape. Yes, the E
values is approximately the same for all alloys of aluminum, but just like
steel, different hardnesses and properties. What did you use?
