- I noticed on DX eng's site that they sell boom material, made from 6061-T8. Now this T8 version I had not heard of. It's a full 10 ksi stonger [in yield strength] VS 6061-T6. That equates to 28.6% st

- Huh? Does not compute, as they are both the same alloy, just different tempers The ASM pages for both show the same yield and ultimate strengths, but different hardnesses http://asm.matweb.com/search

- It's a whole lot easier to make a relatively small 3 roller swedge as you only need to reduce about 6 or 8" of the OD at one end by about 0.003 inch for the next size to fit. Of course the typical re

- 6061-T8 is not a new alloy, but a relatively new temper. 6061-T6: Solution heat treated and then artificially aged. Mechanical property limits not affected by cold working. Most alloys in the -w and
