[QUOTE="TexasJim, post: 465318, member: 24649"] sss: 5052-H32 used to be the most common boatbuilding alloy(may still be). Weldable, certainly bendable(to a point) and not too hard to keep paint on. Not as corrosion-resistant as 6061-T6, but you're NOT going to successfully make 90 degree bends in .100 6061-T6. Forget about annealing. Aluminum heat treating is not easy and not something you can do in your garage. TexasJim [/QUOTE]
