Long and short of the question is high vibration area like this, what would you recommend? Needs to be weldable, bendable, and have good fatigue properties. I had narrowed it to 5052-H32 and 6061 T6. The 5052 is appealing as it will be much easier to bend. I have scoured the net and I haven't really seen an analysis of aluminum alloys under this criteria. Thanks
