Seeking information on use of 6161 T-6 for hydraulic lines (2000psi max service pressure). Can 6061 T-6 5/16 tubing be properly bent, and flared for AN-5 fittings without structural damage to the tubing wall? I am having difficulty sourcing -0 or T-4 tubing which I understand is malleable enough for bending and flaring. Can the ends and bend locations of the T-6 tubing be returned to -0 or -4 for forming?
