It's a much stronger Al alloy and just as light and easy to machine.
They gave me the option between 6061 and 7075. 7075 is a little more expensive but close to the strength of steel. I felt like 7075 was a little overkill and the machine shop agreed. He didn't say anything about 2024 though. What's the cost comparison between 2024 and 6061?
