[QUOTE="tiny, post: 612247, member: 5467"] I think the reason that the haz area on cromo is more critical than DOM is because the Rest of the cromo can take more load and is more rigid. So when it gets transferred to the haz, it has more of a spike than if it was DOM. DOM would have more of a cushion. Wether it held the load or bent. Tensile strength numbers between normalized cromo and DOM don't show the real world difference. Try bending some cromo the same way you bend dom. It has twice as much spring back and the bender makes sounds like it's trying to bend 1/4" wall. Notching is a little harder as well. [/QUOTE]
