Which aluminum is acceptable or appropriate for a small piece of instrument panel 6" x 10" supporting 2 standard round gauges?
Someone gave me a piece the thickness I needed (0.100") but it was so soft the slightest handling of it seriously deformed it. (I suspect it was annealed 1001 or 3003.)
Anyway, would ordinary 2024-T6 work?
How about these other 0.100" options from McMaster:
3003-H14 too soft?
They also have 5052-H32 and 6061-T6.
