I measured a few others and they seem to be between 50 and 65 thousands thick, I am going to try spinning it on a lathe and forming it that way but am not sure what alloy to use, I think 2024 but if anybody knows it would be appreciated. I have searched on the net and found nothing under propellor spinner. Does it have to be heat treated after forming or is it better left soft. I have a front plate which I will be matching to the spinner,,,,I know it would probably be more advisable to just buy one but I like to try new things and spin forming a new back plate sounds interesting. 5052 or 6061 would be more appropriate, as they are weldable. Use a low temper, as the stuff will work harden. |
