Torsion bar material
Torsion bar material
(OP)
Am I right in saying that MT1010 is a common choice for manufacturing the above? This is a pretty general question of course I know, but the torsion bar is to be of the solid bar type and act as a supplement to the original rear torsion beam already in place.
Thanks.
Brian.

Tests will be done on the track with a variation of sizes but I need a material spec first in order to pick up some various lengths.
Thanks.

RE: Torsion bar material
I know how different materials choice can vary enormously and perhaps I should do a bit of maths on this one.
I guess I was just hoping there was a ''General'' material choice I could go for which is mainly used in the above applications.
If I come across as being lazy I dont mean to be.
Thanks again to all.
Brian.

this will give you its properties and composition.
Why not run some maths on your torsion bar
