Looking for an alterative material for this part it is made from 6061-T0 plate and heat treated to T6
We would like to maintain the lightweight of aluminum but slightly heavier is OK, same or better strength is a must.
This part is Stamped,
Tumble deburred,
Heat-treated and then
Pastisol dipped
The cost to get the 2 mm radius all around has become very expensive as well as the
Cost of the 6061.
Would a cast aluminum part be able to maintain the strength of 6061-T6?
Basic dim of Part is 3.300 wide , 2.850 length x .250 think. It has a Large raduis opening, 1.120 wide , 2.100 length.
all edges I.D. and O.D. must have the minimum 2 mm radius.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks
Don
