I am working on a project. The engineering drawing called for Aluminum 6061 but the factory told me that they only had Aluminum 12. Could someone help me on this?
What's the differences between Aluminum 6061 and Aluminum 12?
Thanks in advance.
Google is your friend. This might get you started.
Yeah, my Hadco catalog has nary a "12" in it -- except that most bars come in 12 foot lengths. That's the only 12 I see.
And, Google is not your friend this time. Altho if you use quotes around aluminum 12, this thread shows up on p. 2! That was a fast retrieval by google!
Maybe you mean ZA-12 (zinc-aluminum) alloy? :

Get that factory to tell you what "Aluminum 12" is. It's their stuff, they should know. Where does it come from?
