The box mine came in says "duraluminum" or something like that, so I'm guessing some alloy.

 

Duralumin (also called duraluminum, duraluminium or dural) is the name of one of the earliest types of age-hardenable aluminium alloys. The main alloying constituents are copper, manganese and magnesium. A commonly used modern equivalent of this alloy type is AA2024, which contains (in wt.%) 4.4% copper, 1.5% magnesium and 0.6% manganese. Typical yield strength is 450 MPa, with variations depending on the composition and temper.

If you don't know get an Proffesional Engineer to look over your drawings and specs. Fatigue and cyclic loading are a very funny thing. You do not want to experiment with something as critical as your lugs.

Cheers.

im gonna go with 7075 material just to be safe.
