DOCOL R8: Swedish Developed Alternative to 4130

Today, was in discussions with the Lincoln Electric pro crew who supports NASCAR and Indy events with track-side repair/welding services. Learned about Docol R8, a higherer strength/less brittle/exterior cleaner alternative to 4130 for chassis components, etc developed in Sweden by SSAB.http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/chassis...#__federated=1Interested in hearing from fabricafors/welders who have used this product."Discovery is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought" - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
