Folks...

Anyone had experience formiong 7150-T77511 extrusion [T/R ratio = or >100]... such as a typical "T" section???

On one hand I am being told it is "impossible" [IE: it is too "brittle"]; but on the other I am being told "the aluminum heat-treater can easily do it" [before HT???]. NOTE: -T77511 is a proprietary temper for 7150. Regards, Wil Taylor
