    Was very interesting (read amusing) reading this thread and seeing many people saying close to the same thing without understanding what the other is saying

    One thing that is highlighted though - the difference between a Consulting Engineer and a Fitter\Welder type Engineer. When faced with the requirement of increasing strength, the fitter\welder gets a heavier bit of steel - the engineer designs a stronger, more efficient bit of steel. Each to their own I guess

    Ah hmmm! I am a fitter welder and you will see I was trying to show the benefits of design as opposed to a heavier lump of steel! which I might add is often ( not saying everyone) the design engineers way of doing things as it requires little effort and covers arses .

    Don't get me started on design engineers!


    But I will note even they don't use alloy for any serious work....

    Agreed that some Design Engineers take the easiest road possible, and just up size the steel section. This mentality is prevalent in structural engineering.

    I will point out that all materials have their place to some degree. Wirehunt I am assuming you mean Aluminium, not alloy?

    Alloys have better properties Mossie depending on grade of course, straight AL isn't the best.
