MATERIAL SELECTION

Low Carbon Steel Heavy but strong, with a potential infinite fatigue life Easy to weld and needing no special heat treatments Inexpensive and readily available of the shelf in a large range of sizes, though some of the less popular sizes are only available on special order Though prone to rust, low carbon steel is easily painted, and with the correct coating choice, is easily and successfully repaired

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

AISI 1020 DOM 350 It is considerably cheaper It is easy to weld and form Repairs/modifications can safely be done Can be easily painted in wide range of colors
