In pickup truck modification accessories, sport roll bar play a very important role; therefore, there are many styles and materials of roll cages.
On the market, the common materials are stainless steel and iron powder.
1. Commonly used stainless steel sport roll bar is divided into 201 type and 304 type. Actually the ingredients are different. In terms of price, the 304 is more expensive than the 201.
2. The nickel content of 201 stainless steel is about 3.5-5.5% due to its low nickel content; the nickel content of 304 stainless steel is about 8.00-11.00%. Therefore, from the point of view of rust resistance and corrosion resistance, 304 is much better than 201. Under normal circumstances, the sport roll bar frame made of 201 material will start to rust after about 2 years of use, while 304 generally starts to rust in about 3 to 4 years.
3. 304 and 201 stainless steel, the surface is usually matte. Relatively speaking, 304 is more glossy than 201. If you touch it with your hand, 304 will also be smoother.
However, in our daily life, it is actually enough to buy 201 material, the price is affordable (usually about 75 US dollars), and the corrosion resistance is also good. However, if it is in a coastal city, the editor recommends to consider buying 304 material, because in coastal areas, the air humidity is high and the acid corrosive substances in the air are stronger than in inland cities, so stronger corrosion resistance is required. The 304 material will do.
