82-92 F-body Chromoly/Docol Roll Cage - 8.50 Legal

Docol® Tube R8 are Advanced High Strength certified steel tubes that are engineered to provide a stronger, safer, more consistent alternative to 4130 Chrome Moly Cold Drawn Seamless tube. This will allow you to build a faster, more consistent, longer lasting racecar that allows better utilization of tuning components.

Key Advantages of Docol®

• Stronger than 4130 by 10 to 15 percent.
• Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) is Docol® is much smaller in area, less brittle and retains better elongation than 4130 typically does.
• Docol® is much more tolerant to heavy fabrication. It does not warp and distort like 4130 and stays more relaxed in tooling and fixtures during fabrication.
• Greater resistance to fatigue.
• Docol® absorbs energy and presents a more consistent and controlled failure mode.
• Clean mill finish product - minimal, if any, surface prep required. Docol® does not have an oxide or decarb layer and looks like a high quality electric welded tube.
• Accurate and consistent dimensional and mechanical properties because this material is a rolled and welded strip.
• Compatible with welding to 4130 and mild steel components.
• Suitable for TIG and MIG welding.
• Clean "no scrap" based material.
