Hi Guys , i have been working in a racing billet brake calipers to my racing team.
Now the design is read to be machined ,but i have some questions...
Why the most billet calipers are maden from aluminium forged 6061-t ????
I cant make forging process in my shop, so i guess, if i could use the 7075-t651 instead of forged 6061???
Why do they use 6061 so much ? Is it a cheapest material?
What is the hardness brineel diferences between 7075-t651 and forged 6061-t?
Its easy to find 7075-t651 in my country (Brazil) ,the 6061 i cant find, only importing....
Thanks guys
