Hello,

Well i am trying to conduct an FEA+simulation on roll cages. I found that the usual materials used for Roll cages (According to FIA regulations+not) were:

1) CDS Carbon Steel

2) ERW Mild Steel

3) DOM Mild Steel

4) Cr (Chrome Molybdenum) Steel

Now i was searching for more info on the specific properties and specs on these but i could only find AISI 1018 steel which i think is CDS?

Anyone knows the specific material+properties used or more information for these 4 that is used in Roll Cage making?
I tried looking on MatWeb, but the results are all general and got me confused a little. Please help me out

thanks
