Hello,

In the past I have always specified using 6061-T6 alloy for the entire handrail. Someone has recently told me that they do not make any of the bends out of the 6061-T6, and instead use 6061-T4 alloy. This is the first time I have seen it and was wondering if anyone else had come across this. Is it common?

Thanks,
Michele

Work out if it's possible to make the bends you specified with 8 pct elongation.
