I’ve gotten a few private notes from other FRC teams that have experienced fatigue failures originating from the snap ring groove on longer length 2024 aluminum axle shafts. Received a message from AndyMark stating they are transitioning from 2024 to 7075. “Our fabricator had a hard time in the past finding 7075 shafts, so we settled on 2024. From now on, we are fabricating these shafts out of 7075.”
