(OP)
Which of the following, Aluminum 7075 T651 or Aluminum 2024 T351, has the best shear strength for a doubler patch repair? The patch will be secured with rivets. The part is made of aluminum (not sure which grade) and it will undergo minimum vibration at low temperature ranges once it is installed.

If you could come back with a little more information as to the conditions it would help with the selections.

I would also confirm the chemical composition of the part before making a final selection of patch plate material using just shear stength data.
