8020? Don't aluminum alloys only go up to the 7x series? Also, isn't the 1x series close to chemically pure aluminum and therefore very soft? (Reference: McMaster-Carr and Machinery's Handbook)


[Edit] 8020 = 80/20. That could not have been more obvious. (This is what sleep deprivation does to you)
