Have Googled & searched, but nothing quite answered my question. Looking for some 3/16 Aluminum rod that-
- can be bent to a 180 degree angle with a 1/8" radius, or very close
- is good looking, shiny, silver
- usefully hard without annealing/torching/etc.
- with decent machining properties (Simple holes and flat spots)
Metallurgy is not my strong point! Seems what I've read is mostly stuff that's hard to source, needs heating/annealing/quenching etc. and there must be (?) a grade that's able to simply be bent without cracking, looks good and is still reasonably stiff. And available in small quantities whilst I'm wishing. You chaps always seem to come through, any thoughts very much appreciated! Chris REC
