SD is advertised as 6061 aluminum. Most manufacturers in Asia, when faced with choosing a billet aluminum for hand or CNC machining, will prefer 6061 due to the relatively low cost to strength benefit ratio. The only thing lower is die-casting, which has a host of its own problems.

However, in my experience, SD parts do not fit together as well as Nova. Fitment is required to get SD to come together.
