    Best Aluminum Alloy for Bending That Can Be Heat Treated

    We bend 3/4" x 4, 6061 t6 with a 3/4" inside r. What we found is that material from some mills won't and Kaiser is an example of that. Hydro has been working well for us. We heat it to 200 ish degrees as cold it will sometimes crack.

    Any experiences running a "home" shop in Utah?
