Default How do you temper aluminium?
Hi guys,

I've made some landing gear for a 1/2A project of mine out if hardware store aluminium. The Al is just too soft and bends on every landing (or "arrival"). Is there a way to temper the Al as you do with steel to harden it some and give it some spring qualities?

I would appreciate any and all answers!
