Max,
What you posted doesn't "mesh" with what I thought to be true. Can you go to
www.matweb.com and get the actual values, and report back your results?
I'd do it, but I'm working on something else right now.
Can anyone out there do this for me? I'd really appreciate it.
Maybe a comparison between 5052 H34 aluminum or 6061 aluminum, and whatever common grade of Polycarb McMaster-Carr sells?
That would be awesome.
Real enginerding -- you betcha!
Thanks,
John
