[QUOTE="Flatbotm, post: 330305, member: 6226"] Most the 6061 I see is T-6. Not bendable. I've seen some 6061T-0 that would bend nice. You can probably temper the t-6 to be bendable but I don't know much about tempering. I bought the 5052 from a aluminum recycling place that bought up surplus from Boeing. It was pretty cheap I wish I could get more. He even gave me 2 sticks for free that he ran over with the forklift. [/QUOTE]
