Ultra Strong Plastic
Many thanks - I'll bear this in mind. Since posting I have been told that PEI / POM might fit the bill but mouding will be prohibitively expensive - therefore the item would have to be cut from sheet.

AL / CU Casting Alloy Match
Hi, Can someone give me advice on a casting alloy of Al and / or CU that will have similar properties to 6063-T5 (an extruded alloy of aluminum)? Key matches are: Coefficient of thermal expansion Thermal conductivity Hardness It also needs to be able to be machined easily and avoid cracking...- zigzag4
