I believe so. I would be concerned that it will be as soft as butter after welding.Are aluminium bike frames normally heat treated after welding?
Not sure what they use thses days. Unlikely but if its 7005 no.Are aluminium bike frames normally heat treated after welding?
why. do you say thatif it's been welded before it's not a 7000 series
From what I've read on here 7000 series aluminium is not suitable for welding as the strength of the weld will be extremely lowwhy. do you say that
Easton 7005 series tubing has been used extensively in the manufacture of MTB frames. Favoured by small manufacturers because it didnt require heat treatment, unlike 6061 seriesFrom what I've read on here 7000 series aluminium is not suitable for welding as the strength of the weld will be extremely low
most 7xxx series are not weldable. There's a few alloys which are exceptions to the rule one being 7005.why. do you say that
Sorry, that was meant to say 7005Could be 7075.
