I am looking for a relative cost value for various grades of aluminum, including aircraft grades etc. I found a similar report for stainless steel which has proved relatively useful when comparing cost / machinability / strength etc.

I do not need specific dollar values just a relative factor eg. 1.5 times the cost of std tool alloy.

Thanks in advance
