Default Doing some experiments and need some alloy samples

Hello all, I'm doing some experiments. I want to get a handle on identifying alloy types, and have had marginal success with observed smut colors. My hope is to have the following alloy types arranged in a photo so that side-by-side comparison of the smut can be demonstarted.
I need:
2024
6061
6052
5052
7075
Ideally, the size of each sample would be a good sized plate of about 6"x6"x1/4". I can machine any odd sized scraps to these dimensions.
I'll gladly pay shipping, but hope that the scraps can be donated as a group effort.
Any takers?
6061 is the easy one, and I already have that, so I'll take it off the list. Thanks all, -Acid
