We are working on a new aluminum fixture. It is basically an aluminum
spine with many 6061-T6 pins sticking out. Currently we drill the
holes inside the spine and hammer the 5/32" 6061-T6 pins inside. Is
there anyway to cast aluminum with many 6061-T6 pins embedded (they
will stick out after the casting)?

Thanks........... Ken

T6 is a heat treatment and aging process. If you cast them in, the part in,
and near the casting will no longer be T6!
