Buzzbox never said they weren't as strong he was wondering about there strength

Cheer up buddy

I just thunk that cromo steel would be stronger than an alloy

in buxbox's defence, your inital post was a bit vague... when most people think of alloys they thinking of head stems from 1980's bmx & the alloy they used to make the heads on TB42 patrols.

I'd like to see you bust an alloy one faster than a steel one.

you guys should totally have a dance off to sort this out, you steppin' bro?

ohh yeah boy, you about to get served...





















and i'm done.

My second post was the informative one.

[leafs4lyf]

So how much for your overego alloy arms??

[SierraDan]

Fuck off idiot.

[atari4x4]

hahahahaha, any guesses on who that is....

[SierraDan]

Probably you ya jerk haha

[atari4x4]

hahaha, fair go...

that's almost as funny as steve thinking henno was me. i'd hope i would be a little more creative than mr leaf lover.

[SierraDan]

Dunno.
A particular BnS sook?

[buzbox]

Hey Dan, I didn't intend or mean to portray that you were wrong, I simply wanted to know a little more information. When someone asks for an explanation, Just cause, Is not a proper response.

I now understand that alloy is more resistant to bending in which it would spring back where as steel would remain bent. Done and dusted.

Bewm. Got him. Took longer than expected.


Sook.

Haven't been on in a while, let alone making another account to stir you up. BnS sook? Haha, if you even had the slightest idea of the roads I drive, you'd understand why I have a couple of sets of spotties on my ute.

Clueless kids, I didn't realise it was school holidays again.

[SierraDan]

Damn. That was a good one. You're quick. Sook

You know, you are all fucking wrong, go learn the basics of yield strengths and how ductile different metals are before sprouting your redneck engineering.

Chromoly also isn't some super metal like they make out but is almost twice as stiff as normal 1010 carbon steel, 6061-T6 has a yield lower than 1010 carbon steel (what stock arms would likely be made of) but as its used in much thicker sections (and also solid) then overall its stronger, but then the same dimensions in normal 1010 would be stronger again and a heap cheaper and harder.

Section dimensions also play a part, a solid section is more forgiving when bent and straightened, hollow sections like to collapse and not be straightened (ask anyone with a cheap bender) a larger diameter thinner wall section can be as stiff as a smaller diameter thicker wall section but lighter, its also going to be easier to damage.

I'd just get a solid chunk of 1020 carbon steel in cold drawn finish (stronger than turned and polished) and be done with it

This is testing my memory,
I think my tbt tie road was 7075 ally, it was about 1.5 inch solid
