Hi All,

As far as Aluminum not being tough enough, there are Aluminum/Copper alloys that would probably be appropriate. Alloy 2024 sticks in my mind, but that may not be correct. The copper would enhance thermal conductivity, too. Compared to some of the silicon alloys (6063) is harder and tougher.
