thank you count and pixman. truthfully i was torn between grade 4 and 5 because of their basic stats. their density is pretty much the same. .16 lbs per inch3. referring to the size of bar or rod im getting the piece will be 11.52 pounds and its going to be solid, not hollow, so if i were to use steel im afraid id have trouble weilding a 30 pound hunk of steel lol.
also i did some shopping around. grade 5 is roughly 25-35$ per kilo.
do yous believe that a solid bar could kink or dent with ease? and i didnt know it spring back as long as the pounds to weight ratuo wasnt too great. in my experiences with metal once it bends, it takes that shape until u rebend it, which is IMPOSSIBLE TO DO FREEHAND.
so once again thanks very much :)
