Straightening 7075 T6 alloy
If 7075 T6 alloy is bent say a few mm, nothing major. and you straighten it, my ? is will it be weaker and more likely to bend in that same spot again then if it was never bent?
the part im talking about is a 4mm thick shock tower

Aluminium does the opposite of what steel does when bent. It becomes harder and harder the more you bend it, eventually it will just crack. If youre unlucky it might even crack when you try to straighten it, might be worth a try though.

Once 7 series Aluminum is bent, its compromised. No bending it back. 6 series you COULD get away with it, but not 7 series.
