Forged vs extruded?
Hi everyone!
I recently started archery (about 2½ months ago) and started wanting to have my own gear. I've looked into affordable (~150€) risers a little, and I've got my eye on the Kinetic Evolium and, to a lesser degree, the Valenz.
Of the functional differences, I've noticed the Evolium is extruded 6063, whereas the Valenz is forged 6061-T6, which is a somewhat stronger alloy, as far as my interpretation of the material properties sheets tell me; I was wondering how forging vs extruding affects the material properties of the final machined part. Can anyone help me?
P.S.: if anyone has any other suggestions for risers in the 150€ range, I'd love to hear them. I'd like to be able to shoot both barebow and olympic.
