aluminium 6060 versus 5754

Aug 29, 2018 0 Replies

Hello everybody,



To make a folding kayak, I need aluminium tubes to build it.



My problem is that I do not find the diameters I need (16 mm and 14 mm) in the same metal shade.



I find 16 mm in 6060 T5 and 14 mm in 5754 H111.



So for this application, what is the advantage/disadvantage of each shade ?



The main point (I think) is the flexural strength.



Thank you for answering



Sincerely.



Pierre
