Size of Aluminium round bar required for 6mm tap.
Size of Aluminium round bar required for 6mm tap.
(OP)
I would like to tap a 6mm thread into a few short risers of aluminium round bar. What size round bar would I need to ensure the integrity of the round bar. Is there a minumum or standard to follow; e.g. the thickness of the wall must be at least x.
This is only for a custom dashboard and will hold a very small weight of 2mm aluminium plate so it is not structural.
I have attached a diagram if it posts ok.
Many thanks
Thierry

These are for slightly heavier loads so you many be able to reduce the diameter ratio.
