Sorry I forgot who asked about this, but the rods i referred to are
sold by Weeks Distributors in SC under the name of DURA-FIX. Here
are a few specs: Tensil Strength, pounds per sq. inch=47,000
Compression Strength (pounds per sq. inch )=60,000-70,000
Shear Strength=34,000 pounds.Brinell Hardness=100
Toll free nr. is 1-800-547-9353
I've used this stuff quite a bit, it's easy, and I almost have to use
a drill press to drill into the weld. I honestly think you could use
this stuff and weld the elements for a 10 meter beam right to the boom.
