Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a silly question.
I would like to use 7075-T651 round bar to machine a sprocket flange that is driven by splines. My machinist is worried about cracking but I'm more worried about failure of the splines/flange if we use 2024-T4 (6061-T6 is out of the question). It's modulus is almost identical to 2024-T4 so I'd...
