 Do you think Pizton's Lard would want to be a FIRST supplier and give every team some lard in the KoP? We could grease our gearboxes with it and every finals match could smell like bacon. - Ty Tremblay [more] |

Re: Flexibility of steel alloys
To expand slightly on what Kevin wrote, stiffness varies as the fourth power of cross-section. Making it bigger will pay off faster than making it from different steel alloys.
Now, if you replaced that steel bar with a carbon fiber rod, it would be much stiffer. Not as resistant to side loads, and likely to fail in much more spectacular ways when its load limit is exceeded, but it would be stiffer. |
