Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

FYI . . .
In the aerospace industry, components must be made using materials that are regulated according to stringent standards. To meet these goals, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established aerospace material specifications, commonly referred to as AMS.
It looks like another specification organization cashing in on an accepted industry standard.

Well that would be awesome. Thanks

AMS4027 is an aluminum alloy, specifically a specification for 6061 aluminum sheet and plate, with a solution and precipitation heat treatment. It's a medium-strength, heat-treatable alloy known for good corrosion resistance, weldability, workability, and performance at elevated temperatures. The alloy composition is approximately 1.0Mg - 0.60Si - 0.28Cu - 0.20Cr, and it's often supplied in the T6 and T651 tempers.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

The alloy composition is approximately 1.0Mg - 0.60Si - 0.28Cu - 0.20Cr, and it's often supplied in the T6 and T651 tempers.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Alloy Designation:
AMS4027 refers to a specific standard for 6061 aluminum alloy.
- Composition:
The alloy primarily consists of magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), copper (Cu), and chromium (Cr).
- Temper Designations:
It's often supplied in T6 and T651 tempers. T6 indicates a solution heat-treated and artificially aged condition, while T651 indicates a solution heat-treated, stress-relieved, and artificially aged condition.
- Corrosion Resistance: Good resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
- Weldability: Excellent weldability, making it suitable for various joining methods.
- Workability: Good machinability and formability.
- Strength: Medium strength, making it suitable for various applications.
- Elevated Temperature Performance: Performs well at elevated temperatures.
- Corrosion Resistance: Good resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
- Common Uses:
AMS4027 (6061) aluminum is widely used in aerospace components, bicycle frames, and other engineering applications.
