    6061 alum or 7075 alum

    ok, yes parts are showing stress cracks.... the parts are cnc machined, instead of making the parts thicker (more material) i am thinking of using 7075 to keep the weight the same but increase the strength. so how muich stronger is 7075 than 6061?

    6061 alum or 7075 alum

    I currently use 6061 for machining my parts, what would be the advantage of using 7075? How much more money are we talking about? I also anodize my parts afterwards, will i get a different color anosizing if i go with 7075 ?
