Hogue quality tests and inspect every batch of Aluminum material before, during and after every phase of the manufacturing process, to ensure that the Hogue Extreme AL Grips for 1911 Officers Model w/ S&A Mag Well, Checkered Aluminum meets the highest standards of quality. Aluminum alloys can be divided into grades from 1XXX to 7XXX. 6061 grade aluminum is used for a wide variety of products and applications from truck bodies and frames, to structural aircraft and aerospace components. 6061 can be further strengthened through a combined tempering process of solution heat treatment and artificial aging. The end material is now designated as 6061-T6 aluminum. The "T" signifies tempering and the "6" is the tempering method. Unfortunately, the downside of the tempering process is that it can produce internal stresses. These stresses may cause a finished machined part to distort over time.
Going the extra step - 6061-T6511: Stretching extruded 6061-T6 aluminum, by up to 3% of its length, can help relieve the internal stresses and produce a permanent set, thereby reducing the possibility of distortion of a finished machined part. Hogue Extreme Grips for 1911 Officers Model w/ S&A Mag Well, Checkered Aluminum and other Hogue Extreme Aluminum grips, forends and knife frames are machined exclusively from 6061-T6511 aluminum...giving you the best possible fit and function over a lifetime of use!
