...20% stronger then Aluminum 6061 T6.

If it's 20% stronger than 6061, it's still weaker than 7075. Everybody has been conditioned by years of infomercials touting products made of "6061 aircraft quality aluminum". A quick look in Machinery's Handbook will tell you that 6061 is inferior to other aluminum grades in just about every respect: hardness, tensile strength, shear strength, etc. So 6061 isn't much of a standard to gage other alloys against.

We started tests with the most basic Mag alloy, we can apply the process to other mag alloys and are in the process of doing just that. We expect the next round of tests to increse this to 40-50% range over 6061 T6

6061 T6 is in fact the workhorse of the light alloy world.

As anyone with a brain can affirm.

We can also apply the process to Aluminum alloy's as well.

There are many Mag alloy's and we are in the process of using our process with each of them.

The developer of this process holds 25 Top Secret patents for DOD and Titanium, also introduced it to the golf world, so one would think he may know someting of what he is doing.

Oh, that is why we started with AZ(! too, it is the workhorse of the mag industry.
