I'm not an engineer, but have a question. Cast aluminum has a granular crystal quality in it's structure. Milled Aluminum (hammered, rolled) does not. Of two identical parts, one a machnined aluminum casting, and the other machined in milled aluminum, which would most likely have the best 1) strength 2) heat transfer properties. Inquiring minds would like to know! Anybody?? Thanks, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
